The Knot editorial assistant Tia Albright recently took a trip to Puerto Rico and found a hotel she thought would be great for honeymooners. Here’s what she says:

"Want a romantic rendezvous with old world elegance? Check out the historic Hotel El Convento located in the heart of Old San Juan. Remodeled into a luxury hotel, this 58 room Spanish Colonial style masterpiece was built as a convent (as evident by its name) more than 350 years ago. Today, the interior boasts ornate furniture, Andalusian tile floors, and rich mahogany beams, and each guest room overlooks the glistening bay or expansive views of Old San Juan.

"Another great reason to visits Hotel El Convento is the food. From traditional tapas at El Picoteo to upscale Italian cuisine at Il Perugino, you can enjoy the tastes of the island in four of their beautiful restaurants. The central location allows for walking tours of the more than a dozen historic sites, including the San Juan Cathedral and El Morro Fortress."
