Best Hotels near El Morro (El Castillo San Felipe del Morro)

Housed in a 17th-century convent, this opulent San Juan, Puerto Rico, property impresses guests with its old-world allures (think: Andalusian tile floors, vintage antiques and mahogany beams). But that's not all Hotel El Convento has going for it: Guests also praise the modern comforts found in every room. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access, work desks and Bose radios. However, some warn that the in-room internet access is spotty and that the water pressure in showers is weak. But the property's outstanding service and sublime location outweigh its drawbacks. Hotel El Convento resides in the middle of Old San Juan, offering easy access to historic attractions like Castillo de San Cristóbal and El Morro. Plus, vacationers have access to a plunge pool and a Jacuzzi, a restaurant that serves Puerto Rican cuisine, a 24-hour fitness center and a lounge with complimentary wines and hors d'oeuvres every afternoon. As a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World portfolio, Hotel El Convento participates in the brand's INVITED rewards program.

Meanwhile, the property's full-service spa, infinity pool and casino provide a relaxing oasis for leisure travelers (although some recent visitors warned that sun-seekers will be disappointed with the hotel's distance away from the beach). When hunger strikes, head to Choices Urban Bistro for international fare, savor fresh sushi at The District Lounge & Sushi Bar, venture to Texas de Brazil for Brazilian-style steakhouse dishes, enjoy authentic Puerto Rican and Cuban cuisine at Metropol Restaurant or grab a light snack from The Bay Pool Bar & Grille. At the end of the day, you'll rest easy on one of Sheraton's signature beds as you enjoy in-suite entertainment on your 40-inch flat-screen TV. In-room Wi-Fi access is also free thanks to the property's daily resort fee. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn or use points here.
