OUR STORY

Perched atop Piña Hill overlooking a lush jungle landscape, The English Rose has been a staple of the Rincón community for nearly 15 years.

The English Rose is a hilltop oasis, just a short walk from Playa Escalera and Tres Palmas, and a quick drive to the center of Rincón.

In 2019, a new partnership between restauranteur Jessica del Mar and Aprovecha Investment Fund, which seeks to support Puerto Rico based businesses with an emphasis on the Rincón community, was born and thus began a new future for the beloved establishment. Together the team embarked on a project to refresh the lesser known guest house at The English Rose, with a focus on showcasing Rincón-based artisans and tradesmen.

Led by designer Phoebe Mackay, “It was very important for us to curate as much local art, photography, and design as we could,” says Mackay. “From Rincón-based contractors to local craftsmen, we wanted each room to reflect the spirit of this special community and be touched by the rich talents who call Rincón home.” The hope is that by featuring local work, the details in each room will drive business to the artisans - to provoke a trip to the local bookstore or art gallery in search of a vintage treasure or photograph to take home.

  • "THIS PLACE IS SO AMAZING WE DECIDED TO STAY AN EXTRA NIGHT. IT’S A BREATHTAKING VIEW"

    — Vanessa (Ponce, PR)

  • The spirt of hospitality is alive and well at English Rose, with small thoughtful touches throughout the room. The restaurant is its own destination with amazing drinks, incredible food and a fun Rincón community vibe. My boyfriend and I found ourselves rushing back to from the beach to get one last drink before they closed for the day.
