Developed in partnership with Misla Hospitality, Stonecrest Investment Management, and The Interfin Companies, the project marks Hard Rock’s first hotel, casino and branded residence destination in Puerto Rico.
A New Landmark for San Juan’s Tourism Scene
Designed by Klai Juba Wald and CMA Architects, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino San Juan will draw inspiration from Puerto Rico’s rich musical and cultural heritage, featuring artwork from local artists and spaces dedicated to live entertainment and recording.
The waterfront resort will offer views of San Juan Bay and the Atlantic Ocean and include:

- Puerto Rico’s first fully integrated casino
- Event venues, music memorabilia, and a recording studio
World-Class Amenities and Lifestyle Experiences
Guests will enjoy a wide range of dining options, from casual poolside venues to upscale restaurants and bars. Signature amenities include the Rock Spa®, fitness center, three terrace-level pools, and dedicated spaces for families such as a kids’ club, arcade and teen lounges.
Located near Old San Juan and within easy reach of Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, the property is positioned to serve leisure travelers, cruise visitors and international guests.
