LA TERRAZA DE SAN JUAN, San Juan

La Terraza De San Juan - Historic UNESCO District Hotel with Rooftop Infinity Pool and Colonial Architecture

Housed in restored 500- and 600-year-old buildings on Calle Del Sol, this 4-star San Juan hotel showcases original beams, historic tiles, and high ceilings. La Terraza De San Juan features two cocktail bars: a ground-floor venue with tall doors opening to the sidewalk, and a rooftop terrace with an infinity plunge pool and private cabanas. The property stands between two significant landmarks - the Castillo de San Cristobal, the Western Hemisphere's largest Spanish fortification, and La Casa Blanca, the oldest European-built house in the Americas. Room options range from queen-sized singles to two-bedroom apartments with fully equipped kitchens. Guest amenities include 24-hour coffee service, air conditioning throughout, and high-speed WiFi. The breakfast restaurant operates Wednesday through Friday (7:30-11:30 AM) and weekends (8:00 AM-1:00 PM). Within 0.5 miles, guests can access six major restaurants, the Maritime Museum, and the Plaza de San Jose.
