Hyatt Hotels Corp. in collaboration with Interlink and Vivo Beach Club have announced plans for the first Hyatt Centric-branded hotel in Puerto Rico.
Hyatt Centric San Juan Isla Verde will be located in the Isla Verde neighborhood, one block away from Isla Verde Beach and walking distance to restaurants, shopping, historical landmarks and nightlife.
The hotel is currently undergoing an ambitious $25 million enhancement project to renovate all guestrooms, suites and public spaces, which will be inspired by Puerto Rico’s enchanted landscape, embracing a fusion of the island’s captivating land and sea elements, according to a company statement this week.
“We’re excited to work with Interlink and Vivo Beach Club to bring the Hyatt Centric lifestyle brand to Puerto Rico and expand Hyatt’s brand presence in a thriving market,” said Camilo Bolaños, Hyatt’s senior vice president of development, Latin America & the Caribbean.
“Hyatt Centric San Juan Isla Verde will be situated in the heart of the Isla Verde neighborhood, allowing guests to truly experience the locale but also discover other nearby beaches and attractions that spark curiosity and connection,” Bolaños added.
Once open, Hyatt Centric San Juan Isla Verde will offer 223 guest rooms in a location less than one block away from the award-winning Isla Verde Beach. The hotel will be home to a communal space acting as the social center of the hotel activated by a signature restaurant & bar, an open-air beer garden, and a coffee shop boasting local fare. The hotel will also offer a modern fitness center, over 16,000 square feet of meeting space, a resort-style pool deck surrounded by tropical landscape, and a locally inspired restaurant and pool bar.
To complement the local lifestyle experience, guests will be granted complimentary access to the facilities of Vivo Beach Club, an oceanfront private beach club designed for people of all ages featuring a free form pool, three restaurants, four bars, an outdoor concert stage with seating capacity for 3,500 people, 12,000 sq. ft. of meeting facilities, and the Ocean Lab Brewing Co. microbrewery.
“We are filled with pride to collaborate with Hyatt to bring the Hyatt Centric lifestyle brand to the renowned Isla Verde neighborhood,” said Federico J. Sánchez Ortiz, president and CEO of Interlink, and Luis and Matías Fernández, co-owners of Vivo Beach Club. “Puerto Rico has a lot to offer, and soon, guests and World of Hyatt members will be able to experience a new hotel that serves as an authentic home base to explore the magical island of Puerto Rico.”
