Driving directions from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport: Follow Av Baldoriotyde Castro/Rte 26 towards San Juan and continue as it merges into Rte 25/Av Muñoz Rivera. Hotel is on the left. Getting there: The best way is by white-painted tourist taxis which charge flat fares to the hotel in the $16–$25 range. It is possible to take a bus, C45, from the airport for 25 cents but at the bus terminal in Old San Juan a transfer onto A5 is required. Rental cars, Town Cars, and limousines are more than $36. Fees subject to change without notice. Rental cars are available online. Getting around: The hotel’s beach location makes walking the best way around to nearby shops, restaurants, and bars. To explore more of the city, take AMA or Metrobus public buses from stops marked “Parada” for fares less than $5. Fees subject to change without notice. A5 stops a block away and travels within the popular Condado-Old San Juan-Isla Verde districts. Once in Old San Juan, it’s simplest to stroll, but hopping on and off the district’s open-air trolleys is free. The narrow streets and lack of parking can make driving particularly difficult in Old San Juan and in general, visitors may find local driving habits are aggressive and require caution. Taxis outside of tourist areas charge metered fares. Port Authority ferries run from the pier in Old San Juan across the bay to Cataño for less than $5 and from Fajardo on the east coast to the islands of Vieques and Culebra for fares of less than $5. Fees subject to change without notice. Various públicos or passenger vans travel around the island but can be slow as drivers wait for a full van. The main terminal is on the waterfront in Old San Juan.

AMENITIES & SERVICES
|
|
What to expect: Opened in 1942 by a Puerto Rican engineer as a tribute to his French wife, Moineau, whom he had met on the French ocean liner SS Normandie, the Art Deco hotel with its Roman, Egyptian, and French details was a sensation among social elites when it opened. The design includes luxury-liner-like details such as the famous curved front, high ceilings, and corridors looking down into a central skylighted atrium. Moineau's high-spirited, high-living life and the hotel's history are chronicled in photographs on lobby walls. Fittingly, the hotel now attracts pre- and post-cruise passengers from ships docking 1 mile away. Amenity highlights: A 50-yard beach fronts the hotel, and its grounds adjoin a public park that includes a 75-yard beach. Terraced above the hotel's beach is a large triangular pool with surrounding sundeck. The Normandie's central skylighted atrium serves a quiet, airy location for conversation and relaxation. Insider tip: The public park adjacent to the hotel includes a track-and-field stadium with an oval track that is open to hotel guests for running, jogging, and power walking.
