Getting to Know Tristan Schukraft, CEO of Tryst Hotels — And Everything Gay
Rooftop pool parties, brunchtime drama, and guaranteed fabulousness are hallmarks of the Tryst Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
CEO and founder of Tryst Hotels Tristan Schukraft announced that a multimillion-dollar renovation project to improve the property will be completed by next year, including the addition of a beach club, rooftop bar, and beachfront restaurant.
Following the flagship Tryst Puerto Vallarta that opened this summer, the Tryst San Juan features 33 rooms with expanded balconies and terrace suites for guests to appreciate the horizon on Condado Beach.
Now accepting reservations, the Tryst is a dream come true for its founder. Schukraft already crossed off several goals from his business bucket list — from owning world-famous gay bars, The Abbey and The Chapel in West Hollywood, to founding the PrEP delivery and telehealth service MISTR, which serves over 300,000 patients. “When I was younger, I saw the movie, ‘The Birdcage,’ and since then wanted to own a hotel because of it,” Schukraft said in an interview with Georgia Voice. “Years later, someone pointed out to me that it was a nightclub, and now I own those too.
