Fodor's Expert Review Ponce Plaza Hotel & Casino

Calles Reina at Calle Unión, 00731, Puerto Rico

On the main square, in a stunningly restored building that dates from 1882, this hotel has six dazzling rooms that preserve a 19th-century design, with black-and-white tiles, hand-carved furniture, and wooden balconies; rooms in the more modern wing are a bit bland by comparison. Lola, serving Latin fusion cuisine and cocktails, is connected via the small pool area. Melao Café is a great place to start your day. On weekends, there's live music on the patio.

PROS

  • excellent location
  • lively bar and restaurant
  • suites have historic charm
