We only got to enjoy this lovely boutique hotel for one night on our way out of the country. We stayed in the Vista De Oro Suite, which was spacious and luxurious with a beautiful city lights view of the city from the large picture window wall. We also had a private Jacuzzi inside the suite and a private entrance... More

I can't say much more than has already been said about this property. The service, the hotel, the rooms, the food, everything is excellent. We spent one night here on our trip to Costa Rica in April of 2013 and really loved it. Highly recommended. Also for LGB travelers, we can say that this hotel is definitely gay-friendly.

We spent 5 days here it is the perfect way to spend time in the city while also feeling like you are still on a natural getaway. The decor is beautiful with plants, trees, and natural finishes throughout. We got a delux room and and it came with a private patio, which was fantastic. The service is top notch, and... More

Everything about this hotel exudes class. The hotel is very professionally run. The staff are attentive and your comfort is their pleasure. Can't say enough about the staff. The entire facility is beautifully decorated and the rooms are totally up to date regarding furnishings and fixtures. The restaurant is gorgeous. The food was good, not outstanding, but very adequate. We... More

Sadly we had both come down with something and were unable to fully enjoy this spectacular hotel. The decor throughout is incredible, from the lobby to the rooms. The restaurant and bar area in particular with its courtyard and beautifully lit lounge seating area is stunning. The standard double we stayed had a lovely bed, bright, clean bathroom and large...

I found several offers in the web for going to Costa Rica for a long weekend, and found this hotel with good reviews and nice pictures. We decided to go in a very open minded mood, thinking of it as a place to sleep in a centered location... Oh dear, it was so much more!!! Starting with the gentleman opening... More

We stayed at this small hotel for our last night in Costa Rico. It was beautiful . We did not have to leave to eat because they had a wonderful European cuisine. I had soup , salad and rabbit to eat . The food was the best I have had while I was in Costa Rico

They say get in and out of San Jose ASAP. They're right, but we stayed here on 2 occassions both entering and leaving the SJ airport. This is a wonderful hotel! We stayed here twice so saw 4 different rooms and they were all unique and comfortable. Rooms here all had good beds, were clean and had roomy modern bathrooms.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Situated on a shady street just off Paseo Colon, San Jose’s main thoroughfare, Hotel Grano de Oro is a true oasis, a sanctuary 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.Hallways lined with period photographs and original art meander through the building and present lush tropical flower arrangements and luxurious plants at every turn. Spanish tile fountains grace intimate atriums, ensuring that one is never far from the soothing melody of falling water. The entire Hotel is non-smoking. Restaurant Grano de Oro merges Costa Rican tropical with European cuisine under the expertise of our French chef Francis Canal. Once a simple cafe, this restaurant has evolved into one of San Jose’s finest dining establishments, frequented by locals and tourists alike.
