About this Venue
Hotel El Convento is a historic luxury boutique hotel located in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Originally built in 1651 as the first Carmelite convent in the Americas, it was transformed into a hotel and reopened in 1962. The property underwent a significant $15 million restoration in 1995, revitalizing its Spanish colonial architecture and design. It is known for blending old-world charm with modern comforts, featuring high ceilings, mahogany beams, handcrafted tiles, and a central courtyard with a 300-year-old Nispero tree. The hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America and has been recognized as a AAA Four Diamond holiday destination and a premier Small Luxury Hotel. It offers versatile meeting rooms, dining options, a rooftop plunge pool and jacuzzi, and is situated in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, steps from historic attractions.
