Puerto Rico’s enchanted landscape, embracing a fusion of the island’s
captivating land and sea elements.

coffee shop boasting local flare. The hotel will also offer a modern fitness
center, over 16,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, a resort-style pool deck
surrounded by tropical landscape, and a locally inspired restaurant and pool
bar. To complement the local lifestyle experience, guests will be granted

lifestyle brand to the renowned Isla Verde neighborhood. Puerto Rico has a lot
to offer, and soon, guests and World of Hyatt members will be able to
experience a new hotel that serves as an authentic home base to explore the
magical island of Puerto Rico," said Federico J. Sánchez Ortiz, President

demonstrates once again the current success and potential of Puerto Rico’s
tourism sector. Our beautiful island has become a top-of-mind destination
for tourists looking to have an unforgettable experience in the heart of the
Caribbean. I welcome Hyatt Centric San Juan Isla Verde and wish the team the
best in this new milestone in Puerto Rico and thank Interlink and Vivo Beach
Club for their contribution to Puerto Rico’s sustainable economic development,”
said Pedro R. Pierluisi, Governor of Puerto Rico.

in the vibrant Isla Verde tourist zone, providing both business and leisure
travelers a new hotel option. This forthcoming addition emphasizes our
hospitality industry commitment to improving our offerings and supporting the
ongoing growth of our tourism sector," said Carlos Mercado, Executive
