The Serafina Restaurant Group, known for its restaurants in New York City and around the world, is getting into the hospitality business.

The company is opening its first-ever beach hotel, the Serafina Beach Hotel, in San Juan, Puerto Rico’s hip Condado neighborhood.

The 96-room property will open its doors in November, according to the company’s Web site.

Serafina says it will be a “boutique hotel with playful, beach house-chic vibes.”

It’s the latest new hotel in what has quietly been a hotel boom in San Juan, with new debuts from brands like Hyatt and AC Hotels, among others.
