An Architectural Marvel That Hits a High Note

The resort’s iconic design will undoubtedly turn heads.

Its centerpiece is a stunning 660-foot-tall tower, beautifully crafted into the shape of back-to-back guitars, a collaborative masterpiece from Klai Juba Wald Architects and Puerto Rico’s CMA Architects.

This design isn’t just for show; it reflects a deep commitment to the local spirit.

The entire property will be infused with inspiration from the island’s heritage, featuring contributions from local artists to ensure an authentic and vibrant atmosphere that guests can feel throughout their visit.

A Destination Designed for Fun and Relaxation

With 415 stylish rooms, including 58 fun music-themed suites, the hotel is built for an excellent getaway. Guests can unwind at the signature Rock Spa, take a dip in one of three sparkling pools, or stay active at the modern fitness center.

The fun extends to a recording studio, curated music memorabilia, and special clubs for kids and teens.

A fantastic array of dining options, from upscale restaurants to casual poolside bites, along with several lively bars and lounges, ensures every moment of the day is enjoyed in great style.

A Celebratory Addition to a Beloved Island

This project strikes a particularly special chord as Hard Rock’s first hotel with a casino in Puerto Rico. “Music is at the heart of both Hard Rock and Puerto Rico, making this a perfect union,” said Jeff Hook, Chief Operating Officer at Hard Rock International.

Developed in partnership with Misla Hospitality, Stonecrest Investment Management, and The Interfin Companies, this resort is set to become a premier attraction.

It will beautifully complement San Juan’s exciting tourism scene by blending top-tier entertainment, luxurious comfort, and genuine cultural flair, giving visitors even more to love about the enchanting island.
