Hotel information
Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street just off the main thoroughfare of Paseo Colon, Hotel Grano de Oro is ideal for a short stay in the Costa Rican capital.
A converted Victorian mansion, the building has been carefully restored to create a charming hotel with a host of historic features. Each of the rooms and suites is unique in design and layout, all containing wrought iron beds, period decoration and handcrafted furnishings.
Relax on the rooftop garden deck with its lawn beds and two Jacuzzis, or indulge in a variety of relaxing and rejuvenating treatments. The hotel’s Restaurante Grano de Oro is run by a French chef and offers a French Mediterranean-inspired menu alongside local influences.
Located in the elegant inner courtyard, the restaurant oozes the charming ambiance of a period home. Choose the perfect wine accompaniment in the restaurant’s award winning wine cellar.
