The former Serafina Beach Hotel in San Juan’s hip neighborhood of Condado is reopening with a new brand, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The property is set to relaunch in November as the new Condado Ocean Club, an adults-only boutique hotel “designed to welcome guests with charm and charisma.”

“In March we closed the doors of Serafina Beach Hotel,” the property said in a statement. “We are excited to share a new beginning and open the doors of Condado Ocean Club – an ocean-inspired boutique hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico.”

The property is now taking reservations for November, according to its Web site.

It’s part of a growing luxury epicenter in Condado, now home to luxe hotspots from the O:live collection of boutique hotels to the grand Condado Vanderbilt.
