Looking for an escape from the cold? One of the most iconic hotels in Puerto Rico, Fairmont El San Juan Hotel perfectly teeters the line between international Caribbean charm and domestic vacation bliss.

The hotel is located on Isla Verde Beach, only minutes from the cobblestone streets and colorful colonial buildings of Old San Juan. Its only a three- to four-hour direct flight from Boston which makes it an easy weekend escape. And since it's an American territory, you can leave your passport at home.

Guests can stroll the two-mile stretch of beachfront, reserve a private cabana at the El San Juan Beach.

When on property you don't ever have to leave, you can sip cocktails beneath a massive hand-blown crystal chandelier in the lobby, dance at the on-site club, or if you're feeling lucky, pay a visit to the Foxwoods El San Juan Casino. Also, ever night at the Fairmont El San Juan they have an entertainment program so there is always something fabulous to do. 

Are you hungry? Well you can choose from eight on-property restaurants or enjoy an in-suite or poolside meal. Our favorite was Cana every morning you can enjoy breakfast over looking the pool, then at night enjoy cocktails at the bar and a delicious dinner in the dining room.
