| | PUERTO RICO HERALD: The Normandie begins a new era as a boutique hotel, with a new affiliation |
 | | Normandie Hotel is the first property in the Caribbean to join WorldHotels (formerly SRS WorldHotels), classified as "First Class," a category assigned to properties with superior accommodations, sophisticated atmosphere, and pleasant service, General Manager Thomas Pauly said. |
 | | Normandie Hotel, opened in 1942, was the brainchild of a Puerto Rican engineer as a tribute to his French wife, Moineau, whom he met on the French ocean liner SS Normandie. |
 | | After a $7.5 million restoration, the legendary hotel reopens offering ocean-front facilities, business centers, and spacious, art deco rooms |
