Built over 40 years ago, this used to be the Intercontinental Hotel of Ponce, simply known as “El Ponce.” In the 60’s, this was the first modern hotel in the city, built in a futuristic style on the top of a hill.

The hotel was thriving for over 15 years, until it just closed, with no reason given. Some say high labour costs or an inaccessible location, but in reality, the hotel wasn’t hurting for tourism.
