Concierge.com's insider take:
Opened in February 2009, the Casablanca Hotel gives you a lot of style and convenience for a minimal investment. The 35-room inn sits right on the hottest street in Old San Juan, Fortaleza, home to restaurants, boutiques, and clubs. Downstairs, great effort has been made to create an eclectic feel, using everything from antique lanterns to silk pillows to oversize Warholesque paintings by a local artist. Upstairs, the rooms have the same original mix of thrift-shop finds (a silver tea set, gilt mirrors, a Deco armoire) and unexpected touches, like fresh white roses in a pitcher vase. The overall effect is quirky, stylish, and fun—as is the crowd. Be ready to have a good time, which includes heading up to the roof to soak in one of the five stone hot tubs. Unfortunately, to reach them, you have to haul up five flights of stairs (the elevator, though planned, has yet to be installed). Similarly, the liquor license for the lobby lounge is still being processed. Both are slated for September 2010; once these last details are ironed out, the value proposition is even better.—Leigh Newman
