Puerto Rico Convention Center Hotel

San Juan, Puerto Rico

At almost two acres, the pool deck at the Sheraton Convention Center Hotel provides a multi-faceted amenity and activity center that overlooks the harbor and City of Old San Juan. A 50-meter infinity pool is the centerpiece of the palm studded deck that includes a children’s “fun fountain”, a spa and an adult “social” pool adjacent to the bar and grill. An “Events Garden” provides the hotel with a unique profit center both day and night, that can host several hundred people while keeping the bar-grill and main pool deck open for general use.

Structural limitations of deck penetration required that MRA find creative solutions to the pool layout and locations for major plantings. MRA provided full services from concept design through contract documents and construction administration.
