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, who owns the property with her husband Fernando Davila, based the property on their Mediterranean honeymoon, and the property just oozes creative design. 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.
