"The room was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and large, with colonial-type decor that made me feel like I was a high-ranking general in the Puerto Rican armed forces in the 1700s."

Villa Herencia Hotel - Historic 3-star boutique property in Old San Juan's colonial district with rooftop sundeck and silver-service breakfast
Housed in a restored Spanish colonial building, this intimate San Juan hotel features eight individually decorated rooms nestled between the San Juan Gate and Cathedral of San Juan Citadel. Villa Herencia's accommodations combine period wood flooring with vaulted ceilings and antique furnishings, each equipped with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and free WiFi. The property serves breakfast on silver trays in the dining room, offering Puerto Rican coffee, tea, and pineapple juice. A rooftop sundeck provides lounge chairs, dining tables, and open-air showers, while a garden area features hammocks and decorative bathtubs. Two meeting spaces accommodate small gatherings, including a 12-person dining room. Villa Herencia sits within walking distance of galleries, restaurants, and historic sites on the quiet streets of Old San Juan's historic quarter. The property maintains proximity to attractions while remaining sufficiently removed from nightlife areas to ensure peaceful evenings.

“Villa Herencia Hotel is a boutique experience tucked into Old San Juan, steps from historic plazas and the cathedral; inside, the decor evokes the city's past, offering a different feel from neighboring hotels. The staff impressed me with friendly service, while the rooftop sundeck provides a tranquil escape with lounge chairs. In my opinion, it's a charming and well-located choice.”
