There’s a storied history behind the Spanish Revival façade of the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. Built in 1919 by Frederick William Vanderbilt as an elegant tropical escape, the 317-room landmark soon became the heart of island society, hosting icons from Errol Flynn to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its restored archways and grand staircases honor that legacy, while modern luxury elevates every stay. Chef Ciaran Elliott brings refined creativity and Michelin-inspired technique to a vibrant, locally driven dining experience. Guests unwind in the spa’s inviting experiences, including the island’s only Hammam.
