Hotel Grano de Oro | Small Distinctive Hotel Member

Calle 30, Avenida 2 y 4, #251, San Jose, Alajuela, 10107, Costa Rica

Love at First Sight

The trend-setting Hotel Grano de Oro is a love story in its own right with a compelling and authentic narrative. Its Canadian owners fell head-over-heels for Costa Rica and the cosmopolitan energy of San Jose which inspired them to open the first boutique hotel in the city.

A lovingly restored tropical Victorian property, Hotel Grano de Oro opened its doors in 1991 and was subsequently expanded to meet popular demand including the genius addition of its French - Costa Rican restaurant winning worldwide acclaim as one of the best restaurants in Costa Rica.

Romance

For couples travelling to Costa Rica spending a couple of nights in San Jose is highly recommended. And there is no better place to stay than Hotel Grano de Oro. Luxury rooms, a personalised boutique experience and plenty of romantic extras all make it easy to arrange your perfect romantic getaway.

They also have a 2 night City Romance package that includes the most popular romantic treats such as bubbles on arrival and chocolate coated strawberries as well as breakfast and a 3-course gourmet dinner in the restaurant (guaranteeing you can book a table). For group celebrations a private banquet room in the restaurant is available for civil ceremonies, renewal of vows, same sex weddings, reception and rehearsal dinners. It can seat 40 people. Prices depend on menu and services chosen.

Your Stay

A selection of beautiful rooms and suites are available. For special occasions and romantic getaways the Vista de Oro Signature Suite is the place to stay in San Jose. This exclusive boudoir is access via its own private staircase and offers sensational views of the city (which can be enjoyed from a private hot-tub).

What to Do

San Jose is a buzzing 21st-century city jam-packed with culture, art and history. The hotel can arrange guided tours of the most popular sights as well as some hidden secrets, or recommend the best self-guided routes (with map included).

If you're looking for adventure outside of the city that's no problem either - volcanoes, rainforests and white water rafting are just a few of the options available. And a day trip to the tropical paradise of Tortuga Island is a must for romantic couples and honeymooners.

The Food of Love

Booking a table at Restaurante Grano de Oro is an unmissable experience for anyone travelling to San Jose. Serving a delicious fusion of Mediterranean and tropical dishes created by French chef Francis Canal, its reputation as one of the best restaurants in Costa Rica is echoed by locals and travellers alike.
