• The views and architecture are beautiful, a must see for the city. You can buy Don Q rum, but too bad they don’t offer tastings!

• Nice atmosphere, great day or night view. Access roads through Ponce center a bit intimidating and none exiting parking! Need to park in the road sides.

El Museo del Castillo Serrallés en Ponce celebra sus 30 años de historia.

La histórica e imponente estructura es una excelente atracción turística en la Ciudad Señorial.

Frances Torruella, presidente de la Junta de Directores del museo, explicó en NotiCentro como se rescató el castillo para el disfrute de los ponceños y visitantes.

El Castillo Serrallés es una mansión impresionante localizada en Ponce mirando hacia la ciudad.  Fue construida durante 1930 por Juan Eugenio Serrallés, fundador de La Destilera Serrallés,  hijo de Juan Serrallés. Actualmente el castillo es un Museo con información sobre la caña de azúcar, la industria del Ron y el impacto en la economía de Puerto Rico.  Está abierto al público desde febrero 1991. La estructura está ubicada en 25 acres de terreno. Está inscrita en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos desde 1980 .

The abandoned remains of this once-thriving hotel loom over the city, waiting for an uncertain future

Hotel on the hill

Abandoned El Ponce Hotel

Road to the hotel

Rising above the city of Ponce are the remains of a place that was once a center of entertainment and luxury: the Ponce Intercontinental Hotel, also known simply as El Ponce. Despite being closed over 40 years ago, the derelict and decrepit structure continues to loom over the city and has even become a national landmark of Puerto Rico of sorts.

The El Ponce Hotel, opened in 1960, was the first modern hotel in the city. American architect William B. Tabler designed it in a functional and futuristic style, with spacious rooms for improved ventilation and lighting. This was facilitated by a good location on the top of the hill of El Viguia, which offered breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and the city below.

The hotel has become the most popular holiday destination on the south coast of the island. Hosting everyone from famous artists to international diplomats, it has witnessed the birth of great cultural, social and political events in Puerto Rico. With its success, the city experienced a tourist boom, and El Ponce’s future looked bright.

But, unfortunately, the bright future was not destined to come true. Just 15 years after opening, the hotel closed its doors forever. The true cause remains a mystery to this day, but certain conjectures have persisted for decades. The most popular include labor disputes, high maintenance costs and hard-to-reach locations. The closure of the hotel came as a complete surprise to the residents of the city, as there were no obvious signs of any decline in its short but colorful history.

In October 1985, the building was used as a temporary shelter for survivors of a landslide that destroyed the neighboring village of Mameyes. Over the years, there have been proposals to repurpose the building, but the conversations and plans ended there. An empty building can remain there for a very long time or mysteriously disappear in the blink of an eye.

Good to know

The hotel is right behind the famous tourist attractions of Cruceta Vigia and Castillo Serralles; the road leading to it starts next to the ticket office. Keep in mind that the entrance to the hotel is prohibited, and any entry is illegal.
