03 Hotel El Convento
This enchanting boutique property pairs rich history with modern amenities, and offers a variety of wedding salons to fit your guest list and your style. The highlight is Salon Campeche, where a 50-foot vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows top an elegantly checked marble floor. One of my favorite things about El Convento is how conveniently located it is. Just step outside its door and you are greeted by all the beauty of Old San Juan.
04 Marriot Hotels
This technically counts as two, but I’m including them together since they both are Marriot Hotels and you can’t go wrong with which ever one you choose.
Both the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino and Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort are beach front Hotels with a tropical vibe.

Formerly a YMCA, this neoclassical home to the Olympic Committee of Puerto Rico was built in 1913. The committee has multiple event spaces that it rents out for special events. Just at the edge of Old San Juan, it’s located perfectly to take advantage of the beauty of the Old city.
06 Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve
This beautiful and secluded beachfront Hotel formerly known as the Grand Melía is perfect if you want to get away from busy San Juan. It’s a mix of tropical and modern architecture. If you ask me the best part is the ocean view. It’s a perfect spot for a romantic outdoor tent reception that ends in a fireplace gathering.

Overlooking the Ponce downtown, Castillo Serrallés is a mansion built around 1930. It has a beautifully kept garden and Spanish Mediterranean influence architecture that’s perfect for any outdoor tent wedding or an intimate indoor wedding.
