O:LV Fifty Five

Top choice in San Juan


The all-suite, adults-only sibling to O:live, just around the corner, blends contemporary architecture and art-deco opulence. All plush velvet furniture in jewel hues and lashings of gold and marble. Balconies boast views over the Condado Lagoon – even more showstopping from the two-tiered rooftop, with lounging space, infinity pool and restaurant. And Mario Pagán’s Raya is off the lobby.
