Rooms
Out of the 233 rooms at the AC Hotel by Marriott San Juan Condado, I had to luxury of staying in the Guest Room.
The Guest Rooms feature either one king bed or two queen beds, contemporary decor, luxury bedding, flat-panel TVs and private balconies with city / partial ocean views.
Other amenities include a mini-refrigerator, marble bathroom, air conditioning, two complimentary bottled waters, pay movies, a safe, a coffee maker, desk, seating area, hairdryer, iron, and free high-speed Internet access.
I loved the modern decor and minimalism of the room. It was a comfortable area to unwind, but at the same time, the simple interior and mute colors juxtaposed the liveliness happening all around San Juan. Just hearing the hustle and bustle from your balcony adds to your eagerness to go out and explore the surrounding area. I appreciate the hotel’s intent to provide guests with a modern, comfortable stay while using those same tools to encourage guest to experience the colorful culture and environment of San Juan.
Property
When you enter the AC Hotel San Juan’s lobby, you will first notice the modern decor with mixed natural colors —from deep grey and charcoal tones to layers of graceful creams. The contemporary style circulates throughout the entire hotel from each open-aired rooms to the all-white rooftop pool. This urban design is flawless, ideal for both leisure and business travelers alike.
Some of the amenities you will find on the property include a top-notch fitness center, rooftop pool that overlooks San Juan and the Caribbean Sea, three on-site restaurants, seven event rooms, and a resort-style convenience store.
Not only does the hotel offer luxury accommodations and amenities, but the hotel is close to some of the best restaurants, attractions, and nightlife in the Condado District. Plus, you are only a short distance from the beach, Old San Juan, the Financial District, and Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport.
This AC Hotel positively is the perfect hotel for anyone wanting a well-rounded experience of San Juan.

Rooftop Pool
If you’re looking for some serious RNR, head to the hotel’s pool.
The AC Hotel San Juan is about a 5-minute walk from the Condado Beach, so it was important to provide guests with an exceptional recreational area. Not only did they design a fantastic pool and outdoor lounge, but they did so on the hotel’s rooftop!
The panoramic views of the Condado District and the Caribbean Sea are quite stunning and a reason alone to stay at the AC Hotel.
White lounge chairs, umbrellas, and cabanas surround the rectangular, aqua-colored pool. Even though it is on a rooftop, there is quite a lot of space, so it never feels crowded.
As a bonus, you can even grab a couple of drinks at the bar next to the AC Kitchen. Did someone say, “Pina Coladas”??????
AC Kitchen & Lounge
The AC Kitchen, located on the top floor of AC Hotel, is an excellent option for breakfast and lunch. They offer a European inspired breakfast buffet ($18 USD) and tapas lunch with the possibility of dining indoor or outdoor. Every morning I looked forward to sampling different foods from the buffet while soaking up the incredible views from the rooftop seating area.
The AC Lounge and Bar, located on the bottom floor of the AC Hotel, is the perfect place to meet with friends while enjoying cocktails and a variety of tapas. While there are many delicious dishes, you must try the flatbread! I can honestly say that it was the most delicious flatbreads I’ve ever tasted.
Also, right next to the AC Lounge is a casual cafe, Sobao By Los Cidrines. It’s the perfect place to grab a quick cup of coffee and pastries.
If you’re looking for one of the best hotels in San Juan Puerto Rico, I highly recommend staying at AC Hotel San Juan Condado!

Wow amazing review. You took reviews to a whole new level. I had heard before about about this hotel but had no idea or all the amenities that it has. I travel on a lower budget and I don’t think I could afford it but if I could this would be def in my top options in the island.
Thank you, that’s very nice review! I’m traveling a lot and planning to go to Puerto Rico this year and had no idea where to stay, so it’s really helpful!
I’ve never been to Puerto Rico but I drean of coming there. Definitely will stay at this hotel when I do!
I’m always a sucker for rooftop pools and bright hotels, and this property really seems to be both! Love that it’s also right next to a cafe. I also hear that Condado is a great area, so definitely bookmarking this if I ever make it to San Juan ?
Reading this has made me want to travel to Puerto Rico and stay in this beautiful hotel. Now being added to my bucket list along side this hotel ? xx
Wow what a gorgeous hotel! I love Puerto Rico and will definitely look in to this property when we go back! I love the rooftop pool too! Thanks for sharing!
Heading over to Puerto Rico soon and I already booked with the Ac Hotel Condado! ? your post truly inspired me to help support Puerto Rico’s tourism and explore its beautiful scenery. This hotel is so modern and exactly my style. I can’t wait to try the casual cafe and flatbread that you recommended… oh and the pina colada’s! Haha
Awesome Madison! You’re going to LOVE it there! 🙂 Also, across the street is a little smoothie shop that makes the best acai bowls!!! It’s called Crush Juice Bar. Be sure the check them out!
Rooftop pools are the best!! Currently hiding from my thesis in the lush sun beside the rooftop pool of my airbnb in Melbourne ? Love reading your posts! They make me want to add more and more places to my “to visit” wunderlist haha
Enjoying the warm sun in Melbourne seems like such a dream! ? I’m so glad you’re enjoying my posts!
This looks amazing! Whenever I look for places in Puerto Rico I always look for the following: near Condado, on the beach and has a pool! This hotel has it all! Will consider looking into this one next time I go to Puerto Rico! Amazing pictures as always !!
Then you would totally love this hotel!!!!!! I hope you stay here next time to visit the island! 🙂
Haven’t been to Puerto Rico and was planning to go few years ago but got cancelled. I remember watching your IG stories and loved how aesthetically pleasing your hotel was! Love bright and open rooms like this! Makes me get my vacay vibes on! ?
Oh no! Well I hope you get to go sometime soon! You seriously would love it girl! 🙂
I love the neutral tones of the room and the roof top pool looks amazing. The view during sunrise/sunset must have been incredible! You have definitely convinced me to visit Puerto Rico!
I’m so glad I’ve convinced you to go! And you have to stay at the AC Hotel 🙂 Not just for the amazing rooftop pool and views, but the location is perfect!
Because of you I booked my husband and myself a trip to Puerto Rico!! April 20th we head out. So excited. You take such beautiful photos Angie ♥️ This hotel looks so modern, I’ve only booked the flight so far so I’ll have to check this hotel as our possible stay.
Yay! Seriously so happy to hear this! I’m excited for you two and hope you have a lovely time.
I always love your hotel reviews! The photos are awesome!
Thanks girl! So glad you enjoy them. I hope you find them helpful.
Angie I love how beautiful your pics from Puerto Rico are! And second you won me over with that delicious donut! Definitely wanna try it! I’m all about a beach and a sweet treat!
That makes me so excited to hear! haha And girl you have to try that donut! It’s delicious!
For me it’s so important where I’m staying while I’m traveling. Many hotels provide a bed and a bathroom and that’s it. But in my opinion a hotel room should be more than just that – it should provide a temporary home abroad and I have a good feeling about the hotel mentioned ?
Yes girl! I so agree! And the AC Hotel San Juan definitely is a great home base while visiting San Juan.
Beautiful place Angie!!! I might need to recheck the position Puerto Rico is currently ranking on my travel bucket list… I think I underrate this place and it need to rank higher, asap! Hahaa.
I also love your photos as always!
I’m so glad you’re moving it up on your travel bucket list 🙂 I promise if you go, you won’t be disappointed.
This hotel looks amaazing! I’d probably never leave if I stayed there, haha. That rooftop pool looks insane ? I’ll definitely check this hotel out if I visit Puerto Rico!
It certainly was difficult leaving that incredible rooftop pool!
Loooovee how clean and modern this hotel is!! Next time I go to Puerto Rico I definitely need to stay here 🙂
You will absolutely love it! Specifically the incredible rooftop pool! ?
