Recommended Places to Stay in San Juan
The conference block at the Caribe Hilton is full, leaving some of you looking for a place to stay. Here are some ideas.
TRAVEL REMINDER: San Juan has Über and conventional taxis, not Lyft!
Costa Bahía Hotel
Start by checking for availability at Costa Bahía Hotel. Situated next door to the Hilton, it’s perfect to stay close to lots of the conference action. Below are some other options, as recommended by the stellar Island Steering Committee.
Hotel El Convento
Have you ever wanted to stay in a nearly 400 year old former Carmelite convent?! This gorgeous option comes highly recommended by the Board who stayed here when the conference hotel wasn’t available during a site visit.
Hotel San Jorge, Santurce PR
Located in Santurce, this full service hotel is priced right. A 15 minute bus ride to the conference hotel, near the Museum of San Juan and loads of markets and dining options.
airbnb Recommendations
Please note:
The links below have been suggested by the local steering committee. Per their advice, please avoid the La Perla neighborhood. “It’s pretty, but it’s sketchy (they don’t take kindly to tourists bothering them)”, says Fraíxa Albizu Rodriguez, one of the committee heads.
These spaces may be good options, particularly for student groups looking for cost-saving alternatives. SGCI cannot vouch for the condition or safety of any third party rentals.
