The Resort, which was the first Hilton property to open outside the continental United States in 1949, underwent extensive restoration, renovation and transformation that touched nearly all aspects of the property. The scope of the work included a comprehensive renovation of all 652 guestrooms and public spaces as well as upgrades to all building systems and building envelopes to better fortify the exterior against future storms.

Of particular note, the Resort's fitness and spa building was also completely rebuilt and transformed, featuring oceanfront views from floor-to-ceiling glass windows, all-new fitness equipment and a state-of-the-art spa. The Resort's sense of arrival has been greatly enhanced, with the landscaping meticulously restored to evoke the Resort's 1940s heritage. The open-air lobby was redesigned to highlight the expansive ocean views, while the color scheme has been tailored to reflect the vibrancy of the island. The Resort's 11 food and beverage outlets were renovated and transformed to better serve customer preferences, including the introduction of a swim-up bar. The Resort's 65,000 square feet of meeting space was also renovated and modernized, including new audio-visual equipment as well as activated indoor/outdoor spaces and breakout areas.

The Resort's soft opening will be punctuated by weekend festivities featuring local artists and performers. A grand opening celebration is scheduled to take place on June 18, 2019, highlighting 70 years of hospitality in Puerto Rico.
