At Condado Vanderbilt, we understand that one size doesn't fit all. That's why our one-bedroom suites come in three different sizes. Our Commodore Suites come with views of historic San Juan, or of the shimmering Atlantic – with options for an oceanfront terrace. For a more intimate setting, select our Biltmore Suite, which offers oceanside vistas as well.
Because everyone loves a breathtaking view, Condado Vanderbilt gives guests a choice of two: dramatic ocean vistas, courtesy of our Tower Guest Rooms, or dazzling panoramas of historic and beautiful San Juan, from our Heritage Guest Rooms. And while deciding which one you prefer may not be easy, one thing is certain: there are no wrong answers!

1919 Restaurant
Exquisite food with a view to match - that, at it's core, is what 1919 is all about. Named for the year Condado Vanderbilt first opened its doors, this unparalleled tour-de-force in fine dining offers contemporary, "flavor-forward" dishes crafted exclusively from local artisans and farmers. Combined with impeccable service and meticulous attention to detail, it's a recipe for feasts you'll not soon forget.
STK Restaurant
As one might surmise, STK specializes in prime, tender cuts of perfectly-prepared protein - but there's more to this beef-inspired bistro than the name implies. Artfully blending a chic lounge concept with a modern steakhouse, STK brings a dynamic vibe to fine dining - fueled, no doubt, by the infectious, high-energy beats laid down by the best DJs in town.
Ola Oceanfront
"Ola" - the Spanish word for "wave" - welcomes visitors with a relaxed, family-friendly vibe and authentic fare brimming with the traditional flavors of Puerto Rico. With the sun-splashed Atlantic as a backdrop, Ola serves made-to-order dishes for breakfast and lunch, made with only the freshest of locally-sourced ingredients. Care for an exotic, island libation or hand-crafted cocktail? Pull up a seaside seat at the restaurant bar for a soothing refresher.
Tacos & Tequila
Tacos and Tequila is a tantalizing culinary tribute to the most beloved dishes of Mexico. With a menu authored by Executive Sous Chef José Alvarez, this laid-back yet vibrant venue includes favorites like tacos al pastor, tinga chicken tacos and - for vegetarian foodies - tacos starring Mushroom & Sweet Potato.
VC Lounge
Beckoning you with warm breezes from it's oceanfront terrace, VC Lounge is the epicenter of San Juan nightlife, with a grand - yet curiously intimate - vibe, perfect for chilling at seaside, by day or at night.
Veritas Wine And Cognac Bar
Combining some of life’s most enjoyable delights — vintage wine, signature cocktails and irresistible beats - Veritas is the perfect place to kick back with friends. Before sunset, guests can savor their sips with a panoramic ocean view - and in the evening, nightcaps paired with stargazing is the perfect way to end your day.
Marabar By 1919
A modern and open approach to caviar service, with an ideal choice of grower Champagne or handpicked cocktail pairing, with breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic Ocean setting the stage, where caviar takes center stage.
AVO Lounge
As a favorite pre-or post-dinner gathering spot for cigar aficionados, Avo Lounge envelops guests in a comforting atmosphere of warmth and worldliness. Here, smoking connoisseurs can choose from a wide array of premium brands, from Davidoff and Padron to Romeo Y Julieta, Habana and Montecristo.

The First Years
Condado Vanderbilt's history can be traced back to its grand opening on October 16th, 1919.

Condado Vanderbilt's history can be traced back to its grand opening on October 16th, 1919. Frederick William Vanderbilt, scion of one of the wealthiest families in America - and among the most influential men in the country - had previously acquired oceanfront land on the site, and set out to build the finest destination in the Caribbean.
Mr. Vanderbilt selected Warren & Wetmore - one of the foremost architectural firms of the time, having designed Grand Central Station and the Biltmore Hotel - to draw up blueprints for what he would go on to name "The Condado Vanderbilt Hotel."
Upon opening its doors, the Vanderbilt quickly became the destination of choice for generations of heads of state, captains of industry and Hollywood royalty - creating a rarified atmosphere of sophistication, elegance and grace.
The hotel had its own dock and boats so that guests could explore the Condado Lagoon. Other amenities included tennis courts, a bowling alley, a barbershop and a beauty salon.

1920s ~ 1930s
Among the most prominent visitors to Condado Vanderbilt during this period were Eleanor and Franklin D. Roosevelt - who,among other high-profile politicians and socialites, were entertained by diversions such as live music, miniature golf, local carnivals and games of chance.
1940s ~ 1970s
With the popularity of air travel burgeoning, visitation to Puerto Rico climbed. In response, the hotel expanded, adding more rooms – while still maintaining its reputation as an exclusive destination for celebrities, entertainers and high-profile politicians.

1980s ~ 1990s
"The Trio" – Condado Beach Hotel, La Concha Hotel and the Convention Center – steadily came into being. Live entertainment – in the form of popular bands and other famous stage acts – continued to cement Condado's reputation as the entertainment capital of the Caribbean. Among the stars: Julio Iglesias and Plácido Domingo. Meanwhile, headline-grabbing events – from high-profile weddings to ornate quinceañeros – routinely filled ballrooms to capacity.
