Situated on a shady street just off Paseo Colon, San Jose’s main thoroughfare, Grano de Oro Hotel is a true oasis in the heart of the city. Converted from a Tropical Victorian mansion, the 40-room hotel maintains the warmth and comfort of a private home with all the amenities of a fine hotel. Hallways lined with period photographs and original art meander through the building and present lush tropical flower arrangements and luxurious plants at every turn. The hotel is also home to one of Costa Rica’s finest restaurants. This San José hotel is ideally located for exploring San José museums and other local sites as well as for enjoying a host of day trips to the rain forest, volcanoes or experiencing the thrill of white water rafting.
