City Highlights
Just a fifteen-minute walk from the hotel, you will find downtown San Jose’s pedestrian boulevard. This busy area comprises a maze of streets with plenty of museums and restaurants to discover. With a cosmopolitan spirit, San Jose is rich in culture, history and beautiful architecture, though buildings here are rarely over one-hundred years old in age. Often overlooked as one of Latin America’s best cities to visit, there is plenty to appreciate, from colourful rooftops and outdoor plazas to peaceful parks and gourmet restaurants – you will be surprised to find how much is on offer!

The hotel can assist guests with self-guided or accompanied tours to help you explore the city.
