BUILT TO HONOR CULTURE

Patio Elba was revived by local creatives, visionaries, and entrepreneurs. Their care and dedication live throughout the property and extend into the neighborhood, a place that feels expressive and unfiltered.

EVERY CORNER TELLS A STORY

Here, nostalgia’s on a mission. This early-1900s residence holds its origins in handmade flooring, Spanish-Moroccan arches, and the legacy of the woman who once shaped its garden.

Best Boutique Hotel in San Juan

“Patio Elba is the best boutique hotel I have ever stayed at in San Juan. It is a cozy space that allows you to feel at home. I like to travel, and I would definitely like more places in the world to have hotels like this. I recommend it fully.”
-Joshua M. / Tripadvisor

Will Return

“The decor strikes a perfect balance between modern design and the original charm of the building, creating a warm and unique atmosphere. The staff was warm and attentive, especially Nelson, who went above and beyond. I'd love to return.”
-Doris V. / Tripadvisor

Beautiful Restored Hotel

“It’s a lovely, restored older hotel with a cool and hot pool on the front patio, which is nice to dip into between the day's activities and nighttime plans. It is in a fantastic location. It’s a 13-minute walk to the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico. Walking distance to Santurce street murals as well.”

Close to Everything

Centrally located, guests step into cafés, galleries, and spirited streets, then return to a garden home that feels far from the rush. The airport lies 12–15 minutes east, Old San Juan is about 10 minutes over the bridge, and the Convention Center and lively Distrito T-Mobile are a quick 7 minutes from here.
