The 50-room luxury hotel will bring Nobu’s signature hospitality, iconic cuisine, and design philosophy to San Juan.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nobu is pleased to announce Nobu Hotel and Restaurant San Juan, the brand’s first venture into Puerto Rico. The intimate luxury hotel will bring Nobu’s distinctive approach to hospitality to one of the Caribbean’s most recognized historic destinations.
Scheduled to open in 2028, the Nobu Hotel will feature a signature Nobu restaurant and bar at street level, as well as a rooftop lounge and bar. The hotel will reflect the character and heritage of San Juan while introducing Nobu’s contemporary aesthetic and understated approach to luxury.
Known for its centuries of history, distinctive architecture and rich cultural heritage, San Juan is home to renowned dining, galleries and a celebrated waterfront. The destination offers a compelling setting for Nobu’s first hotel and restaurant in Puerto Rico and will provide guests with an opportunity to experience the culture and character of the island.
“Puerto Rico has long been one of the Caribbean’s most compelling destinations, celebrated for its rich history, vibrant culture, and exceptional hospitality,” said Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality. “Bringing the Nobu Hotel and Restaurant to San Juan allows us to become part of one of the region’s most storied neighborhoods while introducing our distinctive approach to hospitality in a destination that continues to attract discerning travelers from around the world.“
“Few places in the Caribbean combine culture, history, and energy the way San Juan does,” said Joakim Lehmkuhl, Managing Partner of KTT. “Nobu saw the same thing, and that shared understanding is what makes this work.
“This reflects the kind of investment we believe the city deserves. Nobu’s hotel and restaurant will bring the brand’s design, cuisine, and hospitality to San Juan, adding to its reputation as one of the Caribbean’s most distinctive destinations.”
Nobu Hotel and Restaurant San Juan will blend the energy of the old city with the calm, refined atmosphere that defines every Nobu destination. Guests can expect thoughtfully designed accommodations, intuitive service inspired by the Japanese spirit of omotenashi, world-renowned dining, and curated experiences that connect them to the culture and character of Puerto Rico.
