PUERTO RICO | La Concha Resort will now be part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, beginning a new era for the popular oceanfront property.
La Concha Resort has announced its official transition to the prestigious Autograph Collection, marking a transformative new chapter for the resort as La Concha Resort, Puerto Rico, an Autograph Collection Hotel. This milestone coincides with the completion of an extensive property-wide renovation, highlighted by the unveiling of the fully reimagined Suite Tower featuring 238 newly redesigned rooms and indulging suites.
“This is a landmark moment for La Concha Resort and for Puerto Rico’s premium hospitality scene,” said Mike Rivera, General Manager.
“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 personalised moments like our new cocktail program and wellness offerings.”
The newly renovated accommodations, designed by Celano Design, redefine modern sophistication and emphasise the hotel’s oceanfront location, featuring spacious suites including separate lounge and bedroom areas, custom marble flooring within residential-style bathrooms, private balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping ocean views. Upon entry into the refreshed suites, guests arrive in an inviting living space featuring a soothing colour palette of whites, bone, grey, and teal, evoking the tropical-modern aesthetic that La Concha Resort is renowned for. A statement sculpture inspired by native plants from Puerto Rico adds texture and scale to the rooms, while a wood console with carved panels brings warmth to the space. To further enforce San Juan’s playful energy, a polished stainless steel bar cart offers guests the best local rum, beverages, and snacks, encouraging guests to fully immerse in the Puerto Rican culture.
“Puerto Rico continues to captivate travellers with its rich culture, natural beauty, and vibrant energy,” said Brian King, President, Marriott International, Caribbean and Latin America.
“La Concha Resort’s transformation and debut as the first Autograph Collection hotel on the island is a testament to the destination’s growing appeal. This iconic property embodies the spirit of individuality and local culture that defines the Autograph Collection. We are proud to welcome La Concha to our portfolio and look forward to offering guests an elevated, authentic experience in one of the region’s most vibrant destinations.”
As the first Autograph Collection Hotel in Puerto Rico, La Concha Resort joins Marriott Bonvoy’s distinctive premium tier of more than 330 hand-selected properties worldwide known for their unique design and authentic experiences. This transition solidifies La Concha’s status as one of Puerto Rico’s premier resort destinations, offering an added layer of exclusivity and elevated service.
Aligned with Autograph Collection’s dedication to providing memorable moments for guests, a signature cocktail experience will launch in La Concha Resort’s newly renovated lobby bar. This daily program invites guests to personalise their cocktails by choosing from five distinct infusions and selecting a unique creation based on their mood, whether it’s Adventurous, Passionate, Social, Introvert, or Life of the Party, resulting in an interactive and bespoke beverage journey with mocktail creations as well.
The wellness experience at La Concha has been elevated with the opening of Elemara Spa & Salon late last year. This serene spa sanctuary offers a range of indulgent treatments and personalised wellness rituals inspired by the earth’s natural elements and designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit.
