Puerto Rico’s La Concha Resort Joins Marriott’s Autograph Collection

La Concha Resort is joining Marriott’s Autograph Collection.

Paulson Puerto Rico, which owns and operates the hotel, made the announcement this week.

“La Concha Resort has had a long-standing relationship with Marriott, previously forming part of its Renaissance Hotels group for 15 years. Joining Marriott’s Autograph Collection is a huge step forward in La Concha’s legacy as one of Puerto Rico’s premier hotels,” said John Paulson, President of Paulson & Co. “With this partnership, our guests will enjoy new levels of luxury and an enhanced guest experience.”

The hotel, which is located in San Juan’s Condado district, has a rich history in San Juan. It was built in 1958 and renovated and reopened in 2007.

It will now undergo another $45 million renovation to its 238 oceanview suites (the hotel offers 473 rooms and suites in total) and will reopen with new restaurants, including Tekka Bar, a high-end sushi restaurant concept by renowned Las Vegas restaurateur Takashi Segawa, and a new five-star spa.

With the move, the hotel will be the first and only Autograph Collection hotel in Puerto Rico.
