(PRESS RELEASE) SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, 2025-Jun-13 — /Travel PR News/ — La Concha Resort, the legendary oceanfront retreat in San Juan’s Condado district, has officially joined Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection, unveiling a sweeping transformation that blends the resort’s storied heritage with fresh, contemporary design. At the heart of the update is the fully reimagined Suite Tower, featuring 238 spaciously appointed guest rooms and suites crafted by Celano Design. Each suite showcases separate living and sleeping areas, marble-floored bathrooms, private balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing Aegean-blue ocean vistas. Sculptural accents inspired by Puerto Rican flora, a polished stainless-steel bar cart stocked with local rums and snacks, and a soothing palette of whites, bone, gray and teal evoke the island’s vibrant spirit and modern elegance.
“This marks a landmark moment for La Concha and for Puerto Rico’s luxury scene,” said Mike Rivera, General Manager. “Our elevation to Autograph Collection and the completion of our property-wide renovation allow us to enhance every guest touchpoint—from immersive culinary moments and bespoke cocktails to enriched wellness rituals.”
Culinary transformation is led by Levant by Michelin-starred Chef Michael White, serving Mediterranean-inspired cuisine within the resort’s iconic seashell structure. The new Tekka Bar offers handrolls and sake in a lively lobby setting, while AQA Oceanfront, launching this summer, will provide three-meal dining with sweeping ocean views. A signature “cocktail personality” program invites guests at the lobby bar to customize their drinks from five botanical infusions matched to moods—Adventurous, Passionate, Social, Introvert or Life of the Party.
Wellness offerings have been elevated with the opening of Elemara Spa & Salon, a serene sanctuary featuring five treatment rooms, hydrotherapy circuits, a yoga deck and panoramic-view pools. Families are welcomed with arts-and-culture programming and nature-themed playspaces, while on-site nightlife and entertainment—including Casino del Mar, Puerto Rico’s first BetMGM Sportsbook, and Fifty Eight Nightclub—ensure the resort remains a vibrant social hub.
As the first Autograph Collection property on the island, La Concha Resort deepens its legacy of individuality and authenticity. Rolando Padua, President of Paulson Puerto Rico, remarked, “We’re proud to honor La Concha’s historic legacy while introducing a modern vision that reflects Puerto Rico’s dynamic culture and promotes sustainable growth.”
To celebrate, the resort has launched “THE ULTIMATE UNVEILING” package: a four-night oceanfront suite stay with $1,000 resort credit, 65,000 Bonvoy bonus points, a five-course sunset dinner at Levant, two Elemara Signature Core Massages, a private in-suite photoshoot, Sereno Pool day-bed with Champagne, custom cocktails for two, daily wellness sessions, breakfast at AQA and roundtrip airport transfers. Bookings run June 15–October 1, 2025.
