Hyatt House San Juan is a three-pearl hotel located in the city’s Miramar district near the Puerto Rico Convention Center. Its 126 guest rooms are inviting, and many offer full kitchens and separate sitting areas. Features include an above-average breakfast buffet, delightful outdoor pool, and some light on-site dining options. An updated fitness center and laundry facilities are nice extras. Unfortunately, the hotel falls short on beach access as the nearest patch of sand, Condado Beach, is a 25-minute walk away. Travelers might want to consider the Best Western PLUS Condado Palm Inn & Suites, which offers a more central location with easy beach access.

Scene
Smart chain hotel with lobby designed for working
Originally opened in
2014, the Hyatt House San Juan is classy and contemporary. The large lobby includes
a number of cozy sitting areas, ranging from a sunken alcove with long gray sofas to
high-tops along the lobby bar. As guests might expect from a chain hotel, the
Hyatt House doesn’t offer much in the way of local charm, but its compact layout
imparts a surprisingly intimate feel.The hotel
is designed with extended-stay guests in mind, and it’s also a popular choice for
pre- and post-cruise stays. With limited attractions and dining options found
within walking distance, the hotel is best suited to guests with quick
stop-overs or those with their own transportation. The common
areas were quiet during our visit, perhaps because the hotel’s suite-style rooms offer ample space to lounge, giving guests little reason to hangout
in the lobby. This serene atmosphere does a complete 180 at breakfast,
when the lobby is packed with families, couples, and singles of all ages lining
up to take advantage of the free breakfast buffet.
Location
Bland location overlooking the San Juan Bay Marina, in walking distance of a few restaurants
The Hyatt House San Juan is located in Miramar, a mainly
residential area that’s home to a handful of other hotels and the
Puerto Rico Convention Center, which is a nine-minute walk from the hotel. It’s about a 25-minute walk to Condado, which
offers a beautiful beach, upscale shopping, and vibrant nightlife.There’s a grocery store as well as several restaurants
reachable within a 15-minute walk. But guests will need to rely on a rental car
or taxi to access the island’s main attractions and entertainment hubs. It’s a
30-minute drive to Old San Juan, and a 15-minute drive to Luis Muñoz
International Airport.
Rooms
Sleek rooms with kitchenettes and bathrooms with KenetMD bath products
Guest rooms at Hyatt House San Juan are polished and
attractive. They're decorated with business-like striped carpeting and a adult color palette of white, gray, and brown. Colorful artwork, which mainly features scenes of Old San Juan, adds character but rooms have a chain-like feel
overall. All rooms include kitchenettes with single-serve coffee- and tea-makers,
mini-fridges, and microwaves. Rooms also come standard with large sofas, flat-screen TVs, plenty
of closet space, and work desks with ergonomic chairs.Bathrooms provide long countertops with square sinks and
high-end KenetMD bath products. Some rooms have tub/shower combos, while others
have glass walk-in showers. Suites include separate living areas with sofa
beds, as well as kitchens with full-size fridges and freezers, stovetops, and
dishwashers. Kitchens are well-stocked with utensils and cookware, plus there’s
a kitchen island that can be used as a work space or cooking area.
Features
Free breakfast with omelet station, pleasant outdoor pool, and bright fitness center
Although it lacks a beach, the Hyatt House has several other snazzy features that add to its appeal, starting with its lovely outdoor pool, surrounded by lush tropical plants. The
deck is lined with lounge chairs and beach umbrellas along with a few patio
tables.Dining is also a focal point for the Hyatt House. The hotel’s
chic lobby serves as the venue for H Bar in the evening, as well as the free
breakfast buffet in the morning. This large space features a range of seating
at tables and high tops with comfy burnt orange cushions. Seating is also
available on a small, leafy terrace. H Bar offers light meals and shareable
plates, in addition to cocktails, beers, and wines. The free breakfast buffet, called
Morning Spread, includes a made-to-order omelet bar, along with a mix of hot
and cold items. The lobby also includes the hotel’s tiny, 24-hour Guest Market,
which features grab-and-go sandwiches, chips, chocolate, and other snacks. The hotel
provides a free grocery shopping service, which allows guests to fill out a
service card in the morning and have items delivered to their room later the
same day. Fitness fanatics may appreciate the hotel's large 24-hour fitness center with a nice range of LifeFitness cardio machines and free weights. A small games area with billiards and foosball is found just off the lobby, across from the elevators. A modest business center offers two personal computers, and there’s also a meeting
room. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and self-parking is offered on-site for a fee.
