La Concha Resort, Puerto Rico, Autograph Collection

Tropical modernist playground

This 1958 beach landmark runs on pure social energy, from sun-drenched infinity pools straight to the bustling lobby casino.

“Perla, the hotel’s conch shell structure, is an architectural icon designed by Mario Salvadori. It sets the tone for the retro-trendy feel that pervades the entire resort.”

Despite its idyllic beachfront setting, La Concha Resort is not a place to get away from it all — it’s more of a hot spot to see and be seen.

The rooms

Crisp, nearly all-white rooms have subtle retro accents, and ocean-facing balconies catch the afternoon sea breeze.

The pool and gym

Bring a swimsuit.

Treadmills face the Atlantic through floor-to-ceiling glass, and an infinity pool sits right beside the sand.

The spa

Couples suites open onto an oceanfront terrace, and therapies include integrated sound sessions and oxygen facials.

At the table

Tables inside the sculpted seashell dome overlook the ocean, and open-air terraces sit steps from the sand.
