La Concha Resort in Puerto Rico Joins Marriott Bonvoys Autograph Collection for an Elevated Beachfront Experience
Marriott International’s premium hotel brand, Autograph Collection, has expanded its portfolio in Puerto Rico with the addition of La Concha Resort, a beachfront destination in San Juan. This development makes La Concha Resort the first Autograph Collection Hotel in the island. The milestone coincides with the completion of a comprehensive $80.2 million property-wide renovation of the resort, which features the introduction of the transformed Suite Tower with 238 redesigned rooms and suites.
The renovation, executed by Celano Design, has improved the resort's accommodations with a focus on modern elegance and the oceanfront locale. The suites at La Concha Resort feature spacious living and bedroom areas, custom marble flooring in residential-style bathrooms, private balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The design incorporates a calming color palette and a statement sculpture that pays homage to Puerto Rican flora, enhancing the tropical-modern aesthetic of the resort.
General manager Mike Rivera of La Concha Resort said, "This is a landmark moment for La Concha Resort and for Puerto Rico’s premium hospitality scene. Our encompassing renovation and transition to Autograph Collection allows us to elevate every aspect of our guests’ experience - from the thoughtfully redesigned suites to an immersive, elevated culinary scene, and personalized moments like our new cocktail program and wellness offerings."
The resort's new offerings include a signature cocktail experience in the renovated lobby bar, where guests can personalize their drinks to match their mood. Additionally, the Elemara Spa & Salon provides indulgent treatments and wellness rituals. The culinary scene at La Concha has also seen upgrades with the opening of Levant by Chef Michael White and Tekka Bar. The forthcoming AQA Oceanfront, a new three-meal restaurant, will complement the resort's dining options.
The resort also offers entertainment venues such as Casino del Mar and Fifty Eight Nightclub, ensuring a comprehensive experience for dining, entertainment, and relaxation. The Marriott Bonvoy app offers personalized and contactless service for a seamless travel experience.
La Concha Resort is part of The Condado Collection, a group of hotels under the ownership and management of investment company Paulson Puerto Rico, which employs more than 3,000 individuals. In February 2025, Marriott International’s luxury brand, The Luxury Collection, expanded its portfolio in Europe with the addition of Casa Brera Hotel in Milan, Italy.
In conclusion, La Concha Resort in Puerto Rico has joined Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection portfolio, marking a significant milestone for both the resort and the island’s hospitality scene. With its comprehensive renovation and new offerings, La Concha Resort is poised to provide an elevated and immersive experience for its guests.
