A family of long-time Ocean Park residents took on the task of constructing a eleven (11) room guesthouse, oriented to the family and group traveling market.

Located on McLeary Street, the principal artery bordering this coastal capital sector, the Inn is conveniently located between the tourist zones of El Condado and Isla Verde (with it’s international airport) where eateries abound and public transportation is close by. It is also privileged with proximity to a superb beach, only a three (3) minute walk thru the San Juan’s premier residential community.

Designed by Arq. José R. Coleman-Davis Pagán whose extensive work with historic structures and vernacular buildings has greatly influenced past and current contemporary work and seeks originality in all projects, while maintaining the sound footing of Puerto Rico’s tropical milieu and rich culture.The Caribbean context enlightens his projects; buildings are designed on the premise that to become truly Modern one must first reconcile with the past.

Ayana Inn’s tropical design, emphasizes surface textures and artisan craftsmanship. The frontal and East facing facades – with its green - painted aluminium referencing traditional architectural ornamental blocks – act as permeable membranes that filter air and sunlight and at the same time buffers outside sound.

This thoughtfully designed boutique hotel features a harmonious blend of modern architecture and serene natural elements. The layout maximizes natural light and ventilation, with rooms arranged along a central corridor that enhances airflow and openness.

The lush backyard, highlighted by a tranquil koi pond, serves as an inviting extension of the interior spaces, offering guests a peaceful retreat. While the building does not have an elevator, well-planned stairways provide access to all levels. Select rooms feature private outdoor decks, allowing guests to take in the surrounding views and enjoy Puerto Rico’s tropical breeze.

At Ayana Inn PR, every design element is crafted to create a relaxing and intimate atmosphere, seamlessly blending comfort, functionality, and natural beauty in the heart of Ocean Park, San Juan.

Environmentally responsible building technologies have been implemented, such as vacuum-tube solar water heater and LED lighting.
