Hyatt Place Opens in San Juan’s Convention District

A new Hyatt Place hotel has opened its doors in the Convention District of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

“Puerto Rico’s transformation in tourism has been achieved with the examples that we are presenting today,” said Puerto Rico Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla.

The new 149-room hotel is the result of a $29.6 million investment; Puerto Rico’s government contributed $5.9 million of that number.

The government estimated that 586 direct and indirect jobs had been generated during construction and operation.

It’s the latest in a series of Hyatt-branded hotels to have opened in Puerto Rico in the last two years, largely under the Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brand.
