CHATEAU CERVANTES, San Juan

Chateau Cervantes - A boutique hotel in a Spanish Colonial mansion with upscale dining and Old San Juan views

Located on one of Old San Juan's most traveled streets, this four-star San Juan hotel occupies a Spanish Colonial mansion distinguished by its pale yellow facade, arched windows, and decorative ironwork. The contemporary Chateau Cervantes features a marble-floored restaurant with dark wood accents, high-back leather chairs, and ivory box-style chandeliers. Each room showcases oversized abstract artwork by Peruvian artist Carlos Davila, tall leather-tufted headboards, and a neutral color palette accented with emerald green, yellow, and terra-cotta red tones. The marble bathrooms include walk-in showers with spa features, white vessel sinks, and single or double vanities. Most accommodations offer balconies with decorative iron railings and city views. The top-floor suite encompasses a split-level living and dining area with a 10-seat table, plus a separate bedroom with a king-size bed and whirlpool tub. A continental breakfast is served daily in the modern, bright restaurant. The property stands 0.5 miles from Old San Juan and 0.3 miles from Plaza Colon.
