Our heritage hotel is located off Paseo Colon, San José’s main street. Wonderfully hidden and yet within walking distance to downtown San José. We are conveniently located in between the popular areas of Escazu and Barrio Escalante.

Downtown, you’ll be delighted by the buzz of activity—abundant people watching, the lively Central Market and bustling market stalls. Tranquil parks, museums, and the impressively dramatic National Theatre where the National Symphony Orchestra performs multiple times each year. Our Guided Walking Tours are a great, easy way to experience the real San José.

Costa Ricans are very friendly and hospitable people. Once you experience their “Pura Vida” you will understand why Costa Rica is one of the happiest places on earth.

Being at the country’s center, San José is ideally located as a home base for travel within Costa Rica. From the city you can choose from dozens of one-day tours to see the rainforest, visit the volcanoes, experience the thrill of a white-water rafting or a canopy tour. With an international and domestic airport, you can travel with ease.

All of these attributes make San José a destination more than just a stop-over.
