Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino to Open in November

Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc and Interlink Group will open the Sheraton Puerto Rico Convention Center Hotel & Casino in November. Located adjacent to the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan’s newest commercial and residential district, the new 503-room property will accommodate both business and leisure travelers, offering meeting facilities, a full-service casino and resort-like amenities, including a sundeck/pool, spa and retail space. Sheraton Puerto Rico will be the first new full-service hotel and casino built in San Juan in more than 10 years and is part of a $6 billion worldwide effort to revitalize Starwood’s most global, iconic brand. This effort includes an investment of over $2 billion in new hotels internationally and, in North America, an investment of $2.3 billion in new hotels, $1.5 billion in renovations and $400 million in signature brand initiatives.


Sheraton Puerto Rico’s superior meeting facilities include 35,000 square feet of meeting space, access to more than 580,000 square feet of additional space at the adjacent Convention Center and the largest hotel ballroom in the San Juan metropolitan area. Guests attending meetings will have access to several open-air balcony verandas and dedicated outdoor event space on a 57,000-square-foot pool deck. The hotel is also the first and only property in the Caribbean pursuing LEED Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.


At 20,000 square feet, the hotel’s casino, which is operated by CCHRP Hospitality, will be the largest in Puerto Rico and will offer a circular casino bar and entertainment space -- the first in Puerto Rico. The smoke-free 24-hour casino will feature 448 slot machines, 16 table games, a full player’s reward program, state-of-the-art specialty video, sound and light features and the island’s first multi-denominational slot machines.


“The Sheraton Puerto Rico Convention Center Hotel & Casino is a $210 million investment to create the area’s premier hotel for both business and leisure travelers, with exceptional offerings for guests either at work or at play” said Federico J. Sanchez, President and Chief Executive Officer of Interlink Group. For more information,
