On the Grid : El Convento
"El Convento was originally built in 1651 as a small monastery adjacent to the San Juan Cathedral. In 1962, after many years of changes, demolitions and expansions it opened as a luxury hotel where famous stars and the Latin American elite stayed. Today, it remains as one of Old San Juan’s “bijoux” in that it retains the beauty of colonial architecture and interior design, while adopting the comforts and luxury of modern hotels. El Convento comes equipped with 5 stories, a classy internal courtyard, restaurants and a central location in the heart of Old San Juan." - Ana Jovane Serrano
