Renovations complete at InterContinental San Juan

The InterContinental San Juan Resort & Casino has completed a $22.25 million renovation project including updated guests rooms and public spaces as well as upgrades to meeting rooms and new signage at the property.

The 398-room InterContinental San Juan Resort & Casino, which was originally designed by noted architect Morris Lapidus, has completed a .5 million refurbishment.

The refurbishment includes updated guest rooms, public spaces, meeting rooms and new signage that are intended to symbolize “sand and sea” and evoke the “emblematic colors and architectural characteristics of Old San Juan,” the company said.

“Few properties in the region offer the combination of an oceanfront location coupled with the business amenities featured at the InterContinental San Juan,” said Alvaro Diago, COO, Latin America and Caribbean, IHG, in a release. “There is no doubt that this one-of-a-kind property will continue to define hospitality on the island of Puerto Rico and remain a key asset in the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts portfolio.”
