Hotel style: San Juan Marriott Resort

The hotel
Sun, sand and an onsite casino, too: what more do you need for grown-up fun in the sun? The San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino on Puerto Rico's spectacular Condado Beach has it all -- plus elegantly appointed guest rooms, as well. Many of the rooms and suites in the four-star beachfront resort boast stellar views of the Atlantic Ocean. When you're not soaking up the sun (don't forget your SPF 45!) or trying your luck at the card tables, head over to the Ocean Club Pool Spa & Fitness Center for pampering.

The look
The guest rooms put a coastal spin on traditional decor. With deep, richly stained wood furniture, crisp white bedding and fresh peachy-salmon accents, the look is welcoming and chic. Because the furniture pieces clearly come from different furniture sets, the look is refreshingly un-cookie cutter. You can snag that look for yourself by mixing and matching pieces with different styles. To avoid design discordance, coordinate them by stain instead.

The inspiration
You needn't look any further than Condado Beach's expanse of soft, creamy sand and the endless blue of sea and sky, to realize that this hotel's interior design capitalizes on its location and sightlines. The historic sights of old San Juan, including 15th century villas is paid homage to in the warm, burnished tones you'll find in the rooms, too.

Get the look
Here are some pieces that will help you nab the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino's traditional-meets-luxury island look.
