The Condado Plaza
The Condado Plaza is a hotel on the waterfront in the Condado neighborhood of San Juan, Puerto Rico. It has two outdoor pools, several dining and bar options, and guest rooms on multiple floors with views of either the ocean or the city.
The hotel opened in the 1960s, when Condado was being developed as one of Puerto Rico's first tourist zones. It was among the first large hotels in that part of San Juan and helped shape the neighborhood's identity as a resort area.
The hotel sits in Condado, a neighborhood where beachside restaurants serve local dishes like mofongo and fresh seafood alongside rum-based drinks. On weekend evenings, the streets nearby fill with music coming from open-air bars and small venues.
The hotel is right on the beach and can be reached from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport by taxi or hotel shuttle without much trouble. Guests planning to explore the city should ask the front desk for guidance, as the area is easy to navigate on foot or by rideshare.
The hotel sits on a narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Condado Lagoon on the other, meaning some rooms look out over two different bodies of water at once. This kind of position between sea and lagoon is rare to find in an urban Caribbean setting.
