An icon of Puerto Rican glamour since the late 1950s, La Concha Resort has entered a new era by joining Marriott’s Autograph Collection. The move positions the Condado Beach landmark on a global stage, combining its legendary mid-century architecture with refreshed luxury and modern lifestyle experiences.
A Puerto Rican Classic, Reimagined
La Concha’s signature shell-shaped architecture remains a symbol of San Juan’s skyline, but the transformation goes far beyond aesthetics. The resort’s reimagined Suite Tower introduces 238 redesigned suites featuring marble bathrooms, private balconies, and sweeping ocean views, all styled in calming tones inspired by the island. Local touches — from sculptural décor to stocked rum carts — keep the sense of place alive.

Culinary Excellence at the Forefront
The property now hosts Levant, the first Puerto Rican restaurant from Michelin-starred Chef Michael White, offering elevated Eastern Mediterranean flavors with a Caribbean twist. Dining options expand further with Tekka Bar, a hand-roll and sake counter launched in late 2024, and the soon-to-open AQA Oceanfront, an ocean-view, all-day dining venue. Guests can also enjoy a bespoke cocktail experience at the Lobby Bar, tailoring drinks to their mood with botanical infusions.
Wellness, Nightlife, and Beyond
The new Elemara Spa & Salon features hydrotherapy circuits, yoga decks, and sea-view pools, while families benefit from refreshed kids’ programming and creative play spaces. After dark, La Concha continues its legacy as a nightlife hotspot with Fifty-Eight nightclub and the Casino del Mar’s BetMGM Sportsbook.
