From its uniquely Spanish-colonial architecture to its comforting in-room amenities, the Sheraton Old San Juan Hotel offers guests the perfect blend of Old World charm and New World elegance.

AM I STAYIN IN THE RIGHT AREA. IS PLAZA LAS AMERICAS IN WALKING DISTANCE TO THIS HOTEL? I KNOW I HAVE TO TAKE A CAB RIDE FOR 5 MIN OR SO TO GET TO THE BEACH RIGHT?

Hi!
I used to work at that hotel when it used to be a Wyndham 6 years ago. The location is great if you are taking a cruise because it is right in front of the piers or if you plan to spend a lot of time in Old San Juan.

The good thing is that you will have nightlife and a wide variety of restaurants for every budget within walking distance. The beach will be a short cab ride.

The hotel is located in the Sount entrance to Old San Juan. You will be in walking distance to all historic sites in that area. Some might be uphill and may take you more than 10 min, but there is a free trolley available.

There is a lot of shopping, but it is very directed toward tourists. Plaza Las Americas is the best mall ever. I live in Dallas, I travel a lot and I have not seen one as big or with the same or more variety. But it is not within walking distance to anywhere worth staying. You will have to take a cab, it will be about 10-15 mins because of the traffic. But distance wise it is very close, but not to walk.

Ask for the 8th floor when you check in those are the deluxe rooms with a small balcony. If you reserved doubles then you will not have a view because they are all in the back of the bldg. That might have changed, but it is worth asking and getting the best out of your experience.

Hope you have lots of fun and that I was of some help!
