Hotel Grano de Oro
San José & Central Valley, Costa Rica
Hotel Grano de Oro
Situated on a shady street just off Paseo Colón, San José's main thoroughfare, Hotel Grano de Oro is a beautifully converted Victorian mansion.
The 35 rooms are furnished in an old fashioned style with wrought-iron beds and rich damask fabrics in three jewelled colour schemes — navy, burgundy and forest-green. The art and furnishings are handcrafted by Costa Rican artists and no two rooms are alike.
The Grano de Oro restaurant serves excellent Costa Rican and European cuisine though is on the more expensive side for Costa Rica and can seem quite formal. There are several good cheaper options within a five-minute walk away. Please ask at reception for details.
