Features:
Situated on a shady
street just off Paseo Colón, San José's main thoroughfare, Hotel Grano
de Oro is a true oasis, a sanctuary in the heart of a bustling
city. Converted from a Tropical Victorian mansion, the hotel maintains
the warmth and comfort of a private home. The hotel's charming atrium
terrace and corridors have sparkling fountains and lush tropical planting,
and rooftop deck offers soothing Jacuzzis and a spot for secluded
sunbathing. The restaurant at the Grano de Oro is one of San José's
finest, serving continental cuisine in a warm and intimate atmosphere.
Service is paramount and the perpetually smiling staff of the Grano
de Oro welcomes guests home time and again.
Room Types:

by a private staircase, the Vista de Oro lives up to its name commanding
a breathtaking view of the Cordillera Central mountain range and
the Central Valley skyline. Tiles, individually handmade in hues
of ocher and sienna covers the walls and are complemented by rich

treasures.

bathtub/shower combination and either one queen and one twin bed,
two queen beds, or a king-size bed.

bit smaller than the deluxe rooms, most superior rooms have a bathtub/shower
combination and a queen bed

and least expensive of the rooms, this category offers cozy quarters

Review: Hotel
Grano de Oro features thirty-two rooms in three categories as well
as three signature suites. All rooms are furnished in Tropical
Victorian styles with wrought-iron beds and rich damask fabrics
in three jeweled color schemes - navy, burgundy and forest-green.
The art and furnishings are handcrafted by Costa Rican artists.
No two rooms are alike. Private baths are blue and white Italian
tile adorned with gleaming brass fixtures. All rooms are designated
as smoke-free, with smoking permitted in the restaurant, gardens
and common areas.
