“A chic boutique hotel well located in the historic residential neighbourhood of Barrio Don Bosco. Traditionally dressed rooms feature antique furniture, dark wood panelled walls and the best have private internal patios. A glamorous European evening is worthy of a visit alone. Fabulous. ”

Hotel Grano de Oro

This well-run, high-class heritage hotel is a favourite with international visitors looking for a characterful place to stop over in the capital before or after a tour of Costa Rica. The 40 rooms and suites mix modern amenities with period elegance, and the very civilised restaurant is popular with Josefinos.
