Hotelier of the Year: Loisse Herger

The 15-room O:live has long been one of the Caribbean’s hippest hotels — but it’s also one of its best. And that’s thanks to the passionate, creative spirit of hotelier Loisse Herger.

Herger is a great example of the kind of local entrepreneurship that is transforming Puerto Rico’s hospitality industry. And she’s not done, either: O:live’s new concept, the nearby OLV:55, is opening in December.
