$60M Residence Inn by Marriott opens in Isla Verde – News is My Business
The first 231-room Residence Inn by Marriott in Puerto Rico has officially opened its doors in the Isla Verde sector of Carolina, following a $60 million investment, company officials announced.
This new addition to the Marriott International portfolio of 30 brands is the company’s first extended-stay hotel in Puerto Rico.
The new property is a 100% local project run by Interlink, a development, construction, and property management company. Interlink has a proven track record that includes a portfolio of developments and renowned construction projects and are partners in the following hotels: Sheraton Puerto Rico, The St. Regis Bahía Beach Resort, AC Hotel San Juan, Hotel El Convento, Hotel Palacio Provincial, and the Embassy Suites San Juan Hotel & Casino.
While Interlink was the general contractor of the project, the hotel’s architectural design was carried out Álvarez-Díaz & Villalón, while financing of the project was led by FirstBank and had the participation of the Cooperative Bank of Puerto Rico and the Corporation for Hotel Development.
The hotel is headed by local hospitality industry professionals Sem Cuevas and Reynaldo Fernández from Highgate.
“We’re very enthusiastic and excited about the opening of the Residence Inn by Marriott Isla Verde, the first hotel in its category to open its doors in Puerto Rico, and a new alternative for the local tourism industry,” said Interlink CEO Federico J.
Sánchez-Ortiz.
“As in every Interlink project, the development of this hotel involved a thorough process to ensure quality in every detail and fulfill our goal of building with innovation and sustainability as the main pillars,” the executive said, adding that the new hotel will be generating more than 100 direct jobs, in addition to the 350 jobs generated in its design and construction phase.
The property features eco-friendly components such as electricity efficiency and water consumption, and installation of LED lighting, among others. The hotel sits on a plot on Isla Verde Ave. that was previously a disused parking lot, where the new owners preserved a frontal grove and planted an additional green strip of tropical plant gardens.
“The market entry of this hotel offers an excellent alternative for visitors looking to book a lengthier stay on the Island and adds 231 rooms to the local inventory while increasing the appeal of our offer and the contribution of Tourism to the Island’s economy,” said Puerto Rico Tourism Co.
Executive Director Carlos Mercado
Managed by Highgate, which also manages AC Hotel San Juan and the Embassy Suites San Juan Hotel & Casino for Interlink, the Residence Inn offers 231 suites, with fully equipped kitchens with refrigerator, stove, microwave and sink, a work area with desk and a separate living room, either with a King bed and a sofa bed, or two queen beds; and amenities such as: two swimming pools, one of them for children with a playground, fountains and slides; two bars, gym equipped with Technogym gear, complimentary breakfast, meeting space, and free Wi-Fi.
The culinary offer includes the Sobao restaurant, a Puerto Rican bakery that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and features a large terrace under a grove.

Awesome little boutique hotel. Right off the water and surrounded by bars and restaurants. The staff were incredible. When we checked in, the man at the front desk spoke to us for 20 minutes about his personal recommendations. The room was great and I highly recommend it to anyone staying in Old San Juan! nine0005

A real example of excellent hospitality!
Without a doubt one of the best Puerto Rican bed and breakfasts to stay during your vacation in the Old San Juan Historic District. Both my wife and I were born and raised in Puerto Rico but moved to the US a few years ago. We recently visited the island for a friend’s wedding and decided to make it a tourist type trip as well. Upon arrival, their friendly staff and General Manager greeted us warmly and helped us settle in immediately. The hotel is centrally located and in a quiet street close to many restaurants, beautiful scenery and historical sites. We loved the fact that the hotel only has 9rooms, all of them very comfortable, local artwork displayed on their walls, their antique furniture, rooftop patio, among other amazing amenities.
Absolutely recommend this hotel to everyone.

This hotel is very much like a dream. The location is great, close to the center of Old San Juan and also a block from the passage to the outer wall.
A very beautiful hotel. It was very clean and beautiful. There was a seating area with a roof which was also great for relaxing while drinking wine. Very good hotel. They had breakfast every morning and waited at our hand and feet if we needed anything. Each room has a tablet computer to take requests if necessary. We will definitely be back and returning guests will receive a 10 percent discount which makes it even better! nine0005

This place is amazing! I stayed at villa herencia for a week and wished i could stay longer! Very friendly staff. Especially one member of staff named Christian, he recommended great places to eat, let us wash our clothes at the facility after they got on a dirty hike and much more. In addition, this place looks very cool and is closed! The rooftop deck is elegant and perfect for lounging! In addition, my husband and I were able to walk to every single thing in Old San Juan and sometimes needed extra allotment, so the location is super-convenient.
All in all, this place was great and I will definitely be back! nine0005

Hands down, this is the best place to stay in Old San Juan. It is ideally located in one of the quiet neighborhoods of old San Juan, near the governor’s mansion. It is steps away from the famous cathedral, the forts named as National Treasures and the San Juan Gate and a trail that sits right on the water.
The hotel itself is beautifully appointed and provides an authentic cultural experience (with the exception of the outstanding AC there are private rooms). It’s all open, the fountain, the upper deck under the stars you can hope to find. Perhaps equally important every time we stayed the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful with restaurant recommendations and sites to see. It is an absolute gem and of all the places we have traveled and stayed at, Villa Herencia in Old San Juan is undoubtedly my favorite. nine0005

Thank you guys! nine0005

We stayed there in January 2011 before the cruise and it was great. It’s quiet, around the corner, from the Inn path, which is to be experienced. The charm of Old San Juan is just a few steps away to explore, but we had an incredible evening sitting on the hotel’s rooftop, being serenaded by a local guitarist in the plaza below. The staff was better than very nice and helpful. In fact they let us keep our luggage for our return from the cruise even though we didn’t stay overnight again. As I wish I could go back there and when I do I will stay at Villa Herencia. nine0005

Our wonderful experience started before we arrived when we emailed a question and the hotel manager emailed us back and sent all kinds of great information about Puerto Rico . We felt like we were already friends by the time we arrived. Very friendly staff, cozy hotel, Location was excellent in Old San Juan — on a quiet street but close to everything.
The staff recommended some local restaurants within walking distance. nine0005

It was a lovely little space with roof top patio. We stayed in one of the two rooms and it was a pleasant surprise. Close enough to many attractions but on a very quiet cobbled street which after visiting Old San Juan was a huge bonus.

Traditional information security systems are not suitable for the digital economy
Security

nine0009
Over the past few decades, the structure of cybersecurity threats to companies has changed dramatically. In accordance with them, business approaches are also changing.
It has taken organizations the last two decades to update information security systems, and it will take even more, because attack vectors are constantly evolving.
Once the creation of viruses spurred the development of anti-virus programs, later spam and phishing led to the emergence of modern mail gateways. Inventive cybercriminals pose more and more new challenges for ordinary users and businesses: every year the list of cybersecurity solutions is updated with new technologies. nine0005
At some point, the hackers abruptly changed tactics. Thanks to the internal technological leap in the development of the darknet, criminals have mastered such advanced strategies as polymorphic and fileless viruses, multi-level attack methods, and virus hiding. All this baffled the defense systems that detect viruses based on their signatures, but not for long. This is how behavioral analytics and ATP solutions appeared.
But digital transformation has provoked a new round of problems due to the revision of the order of interaction with digital environments for the sake of business productivity and the possibility of total integration of everything with everything.
Accordingly, companies need to come up with new approaches to the functioning of their information security departments. nine0005
Business concerns
Networks, devices tied to them, and applications running on them should move as smoothly and seamlessly as possible between different platforms and computing environments. The essence of the new approaches is that information security solutions should not create any problems with the control and management of all elements of IT systems. Unfortunately, there are still mostly other solutions on the market. For example, they do a worse job of securing traffic moving from multiclouds to the edges, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Even worse, such solutions practically do not meet the current practice of smartization and are unlikely to be in demand in the era of smart cities and smart machines. They simply won’t be able to cover hundreds of thousands of connected devices. nine0005
In the past few decades, the cybersecurity threat landscape of companies has changed dramatically
Increasing performance has become another security issue.
New immersive and interactive applications and services require huge computing resources. The increase in computing power entails an increase in the amount of data received by endpoints and devices of the Internet of things. For businesses, this means increasing their efficiency, which is good. But information security departments are forced to think about how to increase throughput while providing real-time protection. nine0005
It turns out that network capacity and functionality must grow exponentially to meet new interconnection and performance requirements. In this regard, digitalization sets a new bar that traditional security tools frankly do not pull. In particular, the practice of isolating sets of information to monitor them in certain places in the infrastructure does not seem like a good idea with such volumes of data.
Digital security
Experts offer several fundamental points for creating a security strategy in a rapidly changing world. The key provisions are as follows.
First, businesses need to achieve maximum convergence of security systems, digital environments and networks. In situations where network boundaries grow with new devices, applications and business processes, security systems should automatically cover the new perimeter, preventing thousands of new potential attack vectors from spreading. This is achieved by deep implementation of information security systems into the company’s infrastructure. In traditional practice, this coating is done by hand, which is often inefficient and highly human-influenced. And in clouds, the boundaries of which are constantly changing, traditional information security systems are completely meaningless. nine0005
Secondly, security systems must work much faster. Companies will not put up with “freezing” business processes as security systems process streaming content in real time. To solve this problem, it is necessary to deploy physical and virtual processors that will help protect and process data at digital speeds.
Third, as data and workloads move between devices, networks, and ecosystems, their respective security policies and protocols must also be consistent across environments, including the cloud. nine0005
One last thing: security systems be smarter. New applications and services are becoming more interconnected (such as smart cars and cities) and therefore less tolerant of problems and delays. Customers cannot wait for security systems to make a decision. If the car reaches a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, the driver wants the all-wheel drive to immediately turn on. But this requires solutions that can perform local and offline decisions in real time. nine0005
How to protect the digital economy
In order for security to continue to not only be effective, but also stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape, next-generation tools are needed. Such solutions should include, for example, advanced behavioral analysis, intent-based segmentation, automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Automation in this case should affect not only detection and protection systems, but also forecasting, which enhances prevention. nine0005
In addition, it is necessary to teach information security systems to respond to specific threats in a specific way. Most vendors mean by this a predefined set of protocols and pre-programmed solutions. But artificial intelligence is not only banal superficial analytics. What the market really needs is the ability to correlate threat intelligence with various tools such as analytics to identify complex attack scenarios. Especially those that consist of many smaller composite events. It will also require the use of AI solutions to accelerate the detection and response to unique events that have not previously been encountered by information security systems. nine0005
The expert community also agrees that to ensure the security of modern networks, it is necessary to automate the identification, detection and elimination of malicious tactics.
