Hotel Grano de Oro – San Jose, Costa Rica
The hallways lined with period photographs and original art meander through the building and present luxurious plants at every turn at Hotel Grano de Oro in San Jose, Costa Rica.
The restaurant is considered one of San Jose’s finest. Restaurante Grano de Oro uses only the freshest ingredients to prepare their French Mediterranean and tropical influenced cuisine.
In Costa Rica, the term “Grano de Oro” is used to refer to the coffee bean, their “Grain of Gold”. The founders of this boutique hotel fell in love with the idea that such a small fruit could be so valuable.
Hotel Grano de Oro was started by a Canadian couple who frequented Costa Rica for vacation. They loved the natural beauty of the country and the people, and in particular the metropolitan city of San Jose.
They found that San José was lacking an upscale boutique-style hotel, offering a unique, personalized service – in other words a “Grain of Gold”. With this in mind, the search for the perfect house to be renovated began.
The original tropical Victorian home, which is now known as the Grano de Oro, was a private family residence belonging to the Pozuelo family, built at the turn of the 20th century.
The Hotel Grano de Oro opened its doors in December of 1991, with 21 guest rooms, a gift shop and a modest café. Quickly gaining recognition from local and international agencies for its unique personality and great service, the hotel became a landmark within the city.
In December 1994, after acquiring another Pozuelo family home, behind the first, the number of guest rooms was increased to a total of 34 and a Jacuzzi terrace was added.
The signature suite, The Vista de Oro was introduced with its spectacular view of the city lights.
Hotel facilities and amenities include: free wireless Internet, restaurant and bar, swimming pool, roof-top garden, terrace with Jacuzzis. Daily breakfast included.
