Hotel El Convento Celebrates 352 years On The Convent Site On Which it is Located

OLD SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO (PRWEB) July 19, 2003 -- For authentic Latin culture there is no place better than Old San Juan, one of the hottest urban destinations.

In the heart of the old city is Hotel El Convento, the perfect combination of classic Old World style with a fresh twist. A former Carmelite convent - the hotel is celebrating its 352nd year on this historic site - the hotel has been lovingly renovated with modern day amenities for the discerning traveler, yet still retains its colonial charm. Quite frankly, art lovers, architect buffs and history aficionados will fall in love!

Throughout the year, the hotel is offering specials to commemorate the 352nd anniversary, which kicked off with a gala party at the hotel in June.

For travelers who want a truly memorable experience, the hotel, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and the oldest hotel in the Historic Hotels of America group, is offering a number of different specials during this yearlong birthday bash. There is something for everyone and every taste.

Families can take off with the Go Fly A Kite special; romantics adore the Romantic Memories package; sun lovers revel in the Town & Country specials, that offer a stay at the hotel and a beach property of their choice, to name just a few. There is even a 352nd anniversary special this year, a special birthday package for guests.

When speaking of taste, the hotel is known for its distinctive dining hotspots: Patio Del Nispero, for an al fresco lunch, and the best burger in town; Cafe Bohemio, for Nuevo Latino/Caribbean fusion fare and funky jazz, from Brazilian to blues; and the ever-popular El Picoteo, a mecca for the chic movers & shakers, for zesty tapas and more. The award winning chef, Antonio Buendia, is famous for his incentive dishes with homegrown ingredients.

During the dog days of summer, and the transition time to fall, trendy travelers can take advantage of the sophisticated hospitality, the Nuevo nightlife & dining, and the local, diverse attractions from their vantage point at Hotel El Convento, where you never know who you'll meet. After all, the hotel is the designated official "guest house" for the government of Puerto Rico's visiting dignitaries and heads of state.
