Legend A

In 1919, Frederick William Vanderbilt, scion of one of the wealthiest families in America and, arguably, one of the most influential men in the country, acquired land in the exclusive Condado district of San Juan, Puerto Rico. He selected Warren & Wetmore - one of the foremost architectural firms of the time, of Grand Central Station and Biltmore Hotel fame - to design the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, an exclusive tropical retreat in the heart of the

Caribbean.

Upon opening its doors, European and Hollywood royalty alike, along with captains of industry and bluebloods, all crossed paths at the Condado Vanderbilt - creating a rarified atmosphere of

luxury.

After decades of gentle repose, today the Condado Vanderbilt is reborn. The utmost care has been taken to maintain the standard of quality that characterized it for one full century; a fact immediately apparent to all who visit the Condado Vanderbilt. A team of experts in their respective fields was put together, ensuring excellence throughout the property. From the richly appointed surroundings to the unsurpassed cuisine and highly personalized service, the Condado Vanderbilt is the standard of excellence in

the Caribbean.
