San José Costa Rica Hotel

Costa Rica named world´s environmental jewel by the Natural Resources Defense Council. First BioGem nation of the planet!

The only hotel in Costa Rica declared as a Historical - Architectural landmark by the Costa Rican Government. Located in the heart of the city between National Monuments, squares, museums and pedestrian streets; Gran Hotel Costa Rica is just steps away from rich cultural and entertainment landmarks. It is vivid during the day but quiet during the night thanks to the fact that no streets with vehicles surround the hotel.

How can you describe the heart and soul of the Costar ricans, the foundation of a culture and even of a country? It is difficult, almost impossible, but you start with the Cultural Square in downtown San Jose, the National Theatre in one corner, the Pre- Columbian Gold Museum in the other, and to complete this magic triangle, the Classical and Majestic 1930 five story-building of Grand Hotel Costa Rica. This Historical Landmark offers a romantic setting full of nostalgia. An open-air Patio Restaurant 24/7, Art Gallery, all-day Piano Bar, Gourmet Restaurant, and the best location in town to visit shops, theatres, restaurants; and in general to feel the rhythm of very active, full of life Latin American city, San José.
