Departing from traditional Caribbean aesthetics, the hotel aims to embrace the island’s natural beauty and promote sustainability.
The design of the rooms and suites at Alma San Juan will focus on using natural-toned fabrics and fibers, creating a sense of harmony with the surrounding environment.

Alma San Juan is not only a feast for the eyes but also for the palate. The hotel features two restaurants and three bars, all designed to pay homage to Puerto Rico’s rich culinary heritage and vibrant mixology scene. Chef Jose Enrique will lead the way at Andaluz, where guests can savor delectable dishes inspired by both Puerto Rican cuisine and the Andalusian region of Spain. Mar y Rosa, helmed by Puerto Rico-born chef Jose Mendin, a five-time James Beard semifinalist, will tantalize taste buds with a fusion of flavors.
For those seeking a more casual yet equally satisfying dining experience, the Cafe at Alma will cater to their desires. Locally grown and sustainably sourced coffee and bites will be available during the day, while evenings will see the Cafe transform into a tapas haven, offering an array of small plates paired with carefully selected wines and specialty cocktails.
