The Hotel Grano de Oro is set amongst an oasis of beautiful tropical gardens within short walking distance from the center of Costa Rica’s capital city.

The soothing sound of falling water greets guests as they enter a realm of luxuriant plants, lush tropical flower arrangements, and Italian tile fountains. Original art and period photographs grace the hotel’s elegant interior. The Hotel Grano de Oro features three categories of stylishly decorated rooms that boast beautifully crafted wood furniture, comfortable rattan armchairs and quality beds for restful nights.
