La Concha

Despite its idyllic beachfront setting, La Concha Resort is not a place to get away from it all — it’s more of a hot spot to see and be seen. Located in the Condado neighborhood of San Juan, this luxury hotel attracts a stylish local crowd to its casino and dining and drinking venues, including a sushi restaurant, an open-air rum bar, and a lively nightclub. Exclusively for guests’ use are a series of infinity pools connected by waterfalls and a private beach area. Guest rooms are bright and sleek, with floor-to-ceiling windows, high-tech lighting, retro-inspired decor, and a nearly all-white color scheme. Palatial ocean-facing suites with private balconies are splurge-worthy. There’s a modern spa and a fitness center with beach views, and the hotel provides complimentary bicycles for taking a spin through Old San Juan.
