Among the Groves - Two Puerto Rican hoteliers have opened their latest spot in Tuscany― and put the country's famed olive oil front and center.
Travel+Leisure US|September 2024
The opening 12 years ago of the O:live Boutique Hotel in San Juan was a similarly welcome revelation. The adultsonly property, which overlooks Condado Lagoon, was both a fresh alternative to the city's corporate chains and a stylish, full-service upgrade to the island's selection of B&Bs. Each of its 15 rooms had a private veranda outfitted with Spanish tiles and a rain shower, and its high-end steak house, Sage La Bistecca by Mario Pagán, merged Caribbean and Mediterranean flavors. Other hotels in San Juan soon followed, including the 26-room O:LV Fifty Five, also in San Juan, and the 80-room beachfront Aire de O:live, in Isla Verde.
