Experience the perfect combination of old-world charm and modern elegance at El Convento Hotel, located in the heart of Old San Juan. One of Puerto Rico’s most historic hotels, it reinterprets its 17th-century Carmelite convent origins and transforms it into a world-class luxury hotel. El Convento has hosted many celebrity guests, including Rita Hayworth, Truman Capote, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, and you too can experience this landmark historic hotel.

Hotel Rural Sant Ignasi: Menorca, Spain

A prime example of this is Hotel Rural Sant Ignasi, located in the countryside of the capital. The hotel uses natural stone, wood and woven fibers throughout its interiors, creating a beautiful blend of rustic and contemporary styles.
