El Convento in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico



Many of our Lemontree guests travel to Puerto Rico through San Juan. Because of the arrangement of flights, some find it convenient to spend a night either upon arrival or the day before departure in the San Juan area. When they do, one of the hotels we recommend that they consider for a night is the El Convento hotel in Viejo (Old) San Juan.

When we want to remind ourselves of the pleasures of urban living we stay at the El Convento. This is simply the finest hotel in the city. It is charming in an old school way. The service is superb and the appointments of the accommodations are sublime. Its location is where you want to be when you want to see Viejo San Juan. Dining here is pure joy with the food well prepared and the service unrivaled. The El Convento is a wonderful venue for a destination wedding and we have had the pleasure of seeing the preparations in progress as well as the charming tropical weddings themselves.

On this page you will see the Blurb badge for a small photo book I made of the hotel. The colors and feel of the hotel reminded me of an Italian fresco and so many of the photographs were treated to give such an effect as well.
