This is a wonderful architectural hotel. It's elegance is surpassed only by the staff, who are very gracious and accommodating. This hotel is a bit off the beaten path in a very nice area within San Jose called Escazu. The high ceilings and winding staircases provide excellent ambience. Art work by local Artists is displayed for purchase in the staircase gallery. The rooms are well priced and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed evenings on the covered terrace with brilliant sunset diplays. The restaurant is well known, La Luz, the food is excellent , fresh and served with style. The hotel also provides an wonderful team of drivers which we found very friendly and accommodating as well. We returned there on our second business trip and will choose this hotel upon our return to the area.

This hotel is located in the Escazu area. It is situated on a hill with a two-lane road right outside the hotel gates. It is somewhat difficult to find from the airport because there are very few signs and it really helps to speak Spanish in order to locate it. The area is not a walking area due to the two-lane road. The facility has a beautiful location and very interesting architecture. I must say that it has a feel of a home. The building is old and could use some updates. The bathroom is dark (with Spanish tiles). The sheets could be fresher..they have a slight odor to them. The balcony and the view is stunning. The breakfast is terrible/terrible... The restaurant highly expensive but beautiful (a slight stale odor). You are better off to go to Ceviche down the street for fresh Peruvian dishes. I would not recommend the concierge service at this hotel. They are trained to recommend tourist traps of what north americans expect of the tropics...I would return to this hotel because it is a special place with lots of character, stunning views of San Jose and a beautiful pleasant staff. It feels like home.
