Property Information
Centrally located at the heart of the historic district of Miramar, this property boasts much more than meets the eye. Don Rafa is comprised by 36 suites and boasts all the amenities of a full-service hotel in an intimate setting, including a hip lobby, a cocktail & Tapas lounge, a gym and wellness studio, and retail spaces. A rooftop restaurant services a secluded pool and terrace area overlooking the Condado Lagoon and the San Juan Bay beyond.
It’s story dates back to the mid 1900’s, when a Spanish immigrant acquires a lot at the outskirts of Old San Juan to build a seven story building he could share with his siblings. The intimacy and warmth that bore Don Rafael’s family estate is preserved and becomes the cornerstone value behind Don Rafa Boutique Hotel & Residences, a lodging experience that embraces visitors like family.
Guests will be just steps away from restaurants of all cuisines, varied museums, cinema and theater halls and scenic Condado Lagoon. Art History lovers will undoubtedly appreciate Don Rafa’s adjacency Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes, an architectonic jewel designed in neo-gothic style. For those seeking a taste of the Boricua nightlife, choosing between the many local bars down the block, exploring energetic Condado or crossing the Dos Hermanos bridge into classic Old San Juan will offer plenty of hangout options less than 5 minutes away
