SAN JUAN, P.R. August 10, 2016 - The El San Juan Hotel & Casino has announced that its distinguished property will undergo a multi-million-dollar renovation beginning on August 15, 2016, resulting in a temporary closure. The upcoming property-wide transformation, slated for full completion in early 2017, will include thorough renovations to the guest rooms, pool area, meeting and entertainment spaces, food and beverage venues and spa and fitness facilities.
“El San Juan is truly a one-of-a-kind property that we look forward to revitalizing. The updates will pay homage to the historical status of this property as an iconic luxury lifestyle and entertainment resort, while incorporating a playfully elegant feeling to the modernized setting,” said Andro Nodarse-León of León Mayer & Co., one of the owners and asset manager of the resort.
