Condado Vanderbilt Hotel

Accommodation · San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan's grande dame, opened in 1919 by Frederick William Vanderbilt and designed by the same architects behind Grand Central Terminal. Restored to its Spanish Revival elegance, it presides over the Condado oceanfront with marble lobbies, ocean-view rooms, a spa and several restaurants, including celebrated fine dining. A century of hosting statesmen and film stars gives the hotel a sense of occasion that newer beach resorts cannot match.
