The elegant Avo Lounge is located within the prestigious Condado Vanderbilt Hotel, set along the stunning beachfront of San Juan. With its breathtaking ocean views, refined ambiance, and exceptional cigar selection, it has become a favorite destination for cigar aficionados.
The lounge is named after the renowned Avo cigar brand, produced by Davidoff in the neighboring Dominican Republic. It represents a harmonious union of two cigar legends: Avo Uvezian—the musician and passionate cigar lover—and master blender Hendrik Kelner.
The cigar offering is impressively diverse, featuring an extensive range of premium brands such as Davidoff, Padrón, Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, and more. Guests can explore complete vintage series, each accompanied by its rich historical narrative.
One of the lounge’s standout experiences is its private “Cigar & Whisky” pairing. Following dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, guests can enjoy an intimate session that includes expert guidance on pairing fine whiskies with cigars.

The design is both elegant and luxurious. Vintage-inspired leather armchairs in dark and light tones evoke a 1970s aesthetic, complemented by dark wood coffee tables. The space features dark wood parquet flooring adorned with a large Persian rug. Mahogany-paneled walls, finished with a glossy lacquer, house expansive humidors and illuminated display cabinets. Art pieces and a curated library further enrich the atmosphere. Warm ambient lighting from standing lamps and a striking red glass chandelier complete the setting.
The bar offers an impressive selection of spirits, including a wide range of Scotch, Irish, and Japanese whiskies, American bourbon, brandy, cognac, and fine wines from around the world.
