On 2nd February 2008, we were wandering around Old San Juan where we saw a lot of beautiful old buildings. We walked by this building named "El Convento" and we knew something is special about this nice looking building. However, we know nothing about Spanish and we really do not know what it means by "El Convento".Thanks to the web, we are able to find out "El Convento" was built over three centuries ago. Originally, it was a Carmelite Convent and now it is a hotel with 58 rooms. All rooms are outfitted with handcrafted furniture, mahogany beams, Andalusian tiles, and marble bathrooms. How often do you stay in a convent over 300 years old?
