Hotel Grano de Oro is a small, luxury boutique hotel, converted from a 100-year-old Tropical Victorian mansion. Beautiful, pristine, well-preserved. Let us take you back in time to the elegance of old San José.

If you seek the charming ambience of a magnificent period home with elegant guest rooms, an award-winning Wine Cellar, and delicious food —this is just the place.

Once a family home occupied by three generations of the Pozuelo Family, every hallway in Hotel Grano de Oro has a story to tell.
You’ll be captivated by these passages to another time. Historic photographs and stunning antiques reveal the secrets and memories of the city’s wonderfully deep history.

Our Heritage Boutique Hotel is located off Paseo Colon, San José’s main street. Wonderfully hidden and yet within walking distance to bustling downtown San José. You are only a 25-minute drive to Juan Santamaria International Airport, Costa Rica.

Rest assured that every stay is luxurious and sustainable. We are a founding member of the Small Distinctive Hotels Collection, and we are a member of The Cayuga Collection of Sustainable Luxury Hotels & Lodges.

Every choice we make at Hotel Grano de Oro is guided by our commitment to sustainability, excellence, and community impact.
Because if you have one night in San José, make it a memorable one.
Our Grand Heritage Hotel is a Destination in Itself.
