The Condado Palm Inn & Suites has opened its doors in San Juan’s Condado district.

The 151-room hotel is the first “Best Western Plus” to open in Puerto Rico and the second Best Western to open this year in the Caribbean, following the Best Western Premier in Haiti.

It includes a fitness center, outdoor pool and children’s pool and massage room, along with a 450-square-foot boardroom.

“By presenting a more affordable, business-friendly option for the Condado neighborhood, we’re giving companies and budget-conscious travelers an opportunity to stay in one of San Juan’s most popular districts,” said Omar Torres, Director of Sales of the Condado Palm Inn & Suites, in a statement.

The hotel’s opening follows a $21 million renovation.
