Grano de Oro, Jacuzzi Terrace, San Jose, Costa Rica
Home Hotels Grano de Oro

Grano de Oro

Contact us

Grano de Oro is the most upscale hotel it the city centre providing a true oasis in the heart of the bustling capital. Converted from a Victorian mansion, this 40-room hotel maintains the warmth and comfort of a private house.

The hotel’s atrium has sparkling fountains and lush tropical plants, while a rooftop deck has jacuzzis and a spot for secluded sunbathing. The restaurant at the Grano de Oro is one of San Jose’s finest, serving continental cuisines in a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Why we like Grano de Oro

We love the bright rooms in the restored part of the old mansion house but equally love the contrast of the new rooms with elegant dark woods and inviting outdoor patios.

Facilities

A rooftop garden-terrace with lawn beds and jacuzzi provides blissfully secluded lounging and in-room massage services are available. In addition to three suites, rooms come in three categories: standard rooms fitted with queen size beds and en-suite bathrooms; superior rooms offering more space than a standard room, and the more spacious deluxe rooms which have different combinations of twin queen beds or king-size beds, again with en-suite bathrooms.
