Located adjacent to the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan’s newest vibrant commercial and residential district, the new 503-room property welcomes both business and leisure travelers, offering exceptional meeting facilities, a full-service casino and resort-like amenities, including a sundeck/pool, spa and retail space. Sheraton Puerto Rico is the first new full-service hotel and casino built in San Juan in more than 10 years and is a part of the $6 billion worldwide effort to revitalize Starwood’s most global, iconic brand. This effort includes an investment of over $2 billion in new hotels internationally, an investment of $2.3 billion in new hotels in North America, $1.5 billion in renovations and $400 million in signature brand initiatives.
President and Chief Executive Officer of Interlink Group Federico J. Sanchez said that the property was a $210 million investment to create the area’s premier hotel for both business and leisure travelers. It is a vital component of Starwood’s larger multi-billion-dollar worldwide effort to revitalize the iconic Sheraton brand with distinctive amenities and initiatives, including unprecedented meetings amenities, state-of-the-art technology and a casino that will appeal to both guests and locals. The Sheraton Puerto Rico is a member of The Starwood Convention Collection, an elite group of Starwood’s largest group and meeting hotels located at top destinations.
Sheraton Puerto Rico’s superior meeting facilities include 35,000 square feet of meeting space, access to more than 580,000 square feet of additional space at the adjacent convention center and the largest hotel ballroom in the San Juan metropolitan area.
