The TRYP By Wyndham hotel has officially opened in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico.

The property, located about 10 minutes from San Juan’s airport, is located across the street from Isla Verde Beach.

“Puerto Rico is a key tourism destination in the Caribbean known around the world for its beautiful beaches and vivacious culture,” said Paulo Pena, president and managing director, Latin America and Caribbean for Wyndham Hotel Group. “TRYP by Wyndham is the perfect fit for the island: the brand’s ‘Own the City’ culture embraces the traditional character of San Juan, while its contemporary design and amenities meet the needs of today’s traveler.”

The property, which is owned by Empresas Santana, includes an outdoor pool, a business center, a fitness center and 2,000 square feet of meeting space.

The hotel includes 109 guestrooms, including 40 king rooms.

“With a mutual commitment to providing the best travel experiences, Wyndham Hotel Group was the perfect partner for this hotel,” said Dr. Jose A. Santana, president of Empresas Santana. “Isla Verde is full of exciting attractions for guests including golfing, shopping at The Mall of San Juan, or visiting popular sites such as Castillo San Cristobal.”
