“El Colonial's adults-only concept, paired with its historical location in Old San Juan, creates a distinctive atmosphere; the 24/7 open bar is certainly a highlight for those looking to unwind after exploring the city. I think the personalized service in this boutique hotel adds to the charm, although guests should note the absence of an elevator, which contributes to its authentic feel.”
