When railroad tycoon Frederick William Vanderbilt built the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, part of the Legend collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, in 1919 it was Puerto Rico's only luxury hotel – President and Eleanor Roosevelt stayed here, part of a long list of notable guests. If the architecture looks familiar, it might be because the design firm also drew up the plans for New York's Grand Central Terminal. Graceful archways and sweeping staircases remain intact in this fully restored landmark, which presides over the Atlantic Ocean with two guestroom towers that are sumptuously modern.

Absolutely worst hotel! Be prepared for your room to not be ready until 8pm and given the run around! Do not go there save your time, energy, and money!

The place is nice but the service sucks. Waiting over two hours for a simple bathroom towel shouldn’t happen at a 5 star hotel. I wouldn’t normally write reviews but the lack of attention and the poor service just gets to me esp after a long day. The check in process was wack too

Two friends and I had a wonderful stay at the Condado Vanderbilt. Everyone was very welcoming and showed us true hospitality. We felt like treasured guests, which doesn't happen much anymore. The pools were nice, with lots of chairs and umbrellas, and it wasn't hard to get a spot on the beach. The hotel is well located, within walking distance to very nice bars and restaurants and only a 10 minute Uber into Old San Juan.

This is a perfect luxury hotel. Warm welcome, and greeted with 2 glasses of champagne. Beautiful room, excellent service, delicious restaurants and classic cocktails. Everything is just wonderful at this 5* hotel. Our pool server, Michael, was very attentive, and our butler, Delfin, looked after us. Don’t waste your time or money at another hotel, this is the best in SJU. We can’t wait to return.

Our bartender, Anthony, provided excellent service and was extremely nice and personable. We can’t wait to back soon in the near future.
