Wedding Party

Q + A

There are many beautiful guest homes and boutique hotels in San Juan all within a 10-min-Uber-ride radius. We especially recommend either Old San Juan for the historic sites, Candado if you're fancy, and Santurce or Ocean Park for a hipster vibe.

You'll likely get the best price at boutique hotels and houses for rent. The bride's family will be staying in a rented house in the historic district. 

Choose Your Own Adventure

Located in the neighborhood Santurce of San Juan, an accessible location for visiting historic downtown, going to the beach, or having late night fun.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Juan

Located in Condado, a central location between Old San Juan and the greater San Juan area.


There is no "room block" for this hotel.
