Hotel El Convento, one of Old San Juan’s most popular landmark hotels, recently completed a multimillion-dollar design and architectural renovation to its 81 rooms. The renovation blends Old World charm with Puerto Rico’s vibrant and modern energy.
Led by interior designer Wanda Torress, who also oversaw the unveiling of Hotel El Convento’s adults-only sister property Palacio Provincal, the renovations see organic hues of cream, gray and terracotta incorporated throughout to complement the hotel’s original motif. Mahogany and tartufo wood form custom furniture sourced from Brazil. Warm, dimmable LED lighting adds a modern feel to the rooms, as well. Other updates include strategically placed convenience plugs for the ultimate comfort.
Hotel El Convento, once a Carmelite convent nearly 400 years ago, features a heated plunge pool and Jacuzzi, five meeting rooms and three on-site dining venues serving contemporary Puerto Rican cuisine. The property also boasts daily complimentary Manager’s Wine and Cheese Cocktail hour, El Convento Beach Club access and a 24-hour coffee and tea station.

Sep 20, 2023Il Tinello East Offers Traditional Italian Cuisine in a Quiet Setting in the Heart of Manhattan
The relatively new Il Tinello East, opened in September 2022, descends from Il Tinello West, the old-school Italian restaurant operating across town on West 56th Street for 38 years. For folks working or living on the east side of Manhattan however, finding a new Il Tinello on East 46th Street was like a gift from heaven. Il Tinello East is the perfect “new” old-school Italian restaurant for a mid-week business lunch with a client or two, or a dinner with your best friend, sister/brother or parent. Perfect, that is, if everyone is in the mood for a quiet restaurant meal in Manhattan (a rarity these days) with friendly waiters in white gloves and exceptionally good traditional Italian cuisine on the menu.
