Best Business Hotels in Puerto Rico

Why does this hotel get top billing? Let me count the ways. First and foremost is the Sheraton's proximity to the sleek and stylish Puerto Rico Convention Center, Puerto Rico's premier event space. The hotel's 500 guestrooms can host a group of any size, and that group will be more than comfortable in its modern and spacious accommodations.

The hotel's 35,000 square feet of meeting space is unparalleled. The conference center holds up to 1,800 attendees; the 16,000-square-foot San Juan Grand Ballroom is the city's largest; and the outdoor sundeck is perfect for a business soiree or private reception.  

Finally, after your event, you can chill out on the pleasant pool deck, test your luck in the casino, or destress at the excellent spa.

Earning the Meetings & Conventions' 2010 Gold Tee Award pretty much guarantess you a spot on this list, and that's exactly what El Conquistador did, thanks to its combination of professional meeting atmosphere and championship golf courses.

The golf courses rank among the best on the island and the Grand Atlantic Conference Center provides two conference areas, two ballrooms, and 16 breakout rooms. In total, that's over 100,000 square feet of meeting and event space, more than any other resort in the Caribbean.

A 2010 recipient of an Award of Excellence from Corporate & Incentive Travel Magazine, the Rio Mar Beach Resort takes you away from the bustle of San Juan and places you on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. The lovely 48,000 square-foot Oceanfront Conference Center has the Caribbean's largest ballroom at 20,913 square feet, alog with landscaped, predesigned outdoor function space and banquets and theme parties for up to 1,800. The hotel also offers planned group golf and tennis events. Given that the majority of their clients are groups, they're clearly doing something right to cater to this market.

Let the awards flow! The Conrad San Juan Condado Plaza received in 2010 the Elite Platinum Certificate by Elite Meetings, a leading industry provider to meeting and hospitality professionals. The hotel earned the designation for exceeding industry standards in accommodations, activities, food and beverage, meeting facilities and service. With 41,000 square feet of meeting space and 18 conference rooms accommodating up to 1,100 guests, the Conrad is well-equipped to cater to meetings and events, and its oceanfront location, casino and excellent restaurants provide plenty of extra amenities and services. Finally, the pleasant rooms follow a tropical cool decor and provide spacious accommodations with wonderful views of ocean or lagoon.

Facing the Atlantic Ocean in secluded Rio Grande, the Gran Meliá's meeting facilities start with their RedGlove Meetings Team, which is dedicated to making your event a success. The resort's meeting planners are CMP-certified with the Convention Industry Council. The hotel features 13 breakout meeting and banquet rooms, comprising more than 27,018 square feet of space. Headlining the space are the Puerto Rico Grand Ballroom, a sprawling 11,946 square foot space with a capacity for 1,050, and the 9,600 square foot El Yunque Junior Ballroom, which can seat 500.
