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 the city.

 

Converted from a Tropical Victorian mansion, the 35-room hotel maintains the warmth and comfort of a private home. Hallways lined with period photographs and original art meander through the building and present lush tropical flower arrangements and luxuriant plants at every turn. Italian tile fountains grace intimate atriums, ensuring that one is never far from the soothing melody of falling water.

 

 

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 base fixtures. All rooms are designated as smoke-free, with smoking permitted in the restaurant, gardens and common areas

 

 

 

Standard

The smallest and least expensive of the rooms, this category offers cozy quarters with a queen bed and private bathroom with shower.

Superior

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

Deluxe

The most spacious of our three "room" categories, all deluxe rooms have a bathtub/shower combination and either one queen and one twin bed, two queen beds, or a king-size bed.

Family Suite

A two-room suite with a queen and twin bed in one room and a queen bed in the second room, comfortably accommodating up to 5 people.

Garden Suite

A spacious suite with a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom as well as a small sitting room, which opens to a private tropical garden.

Vista de Oro Suite 

The piece de resistance is the hotel's Vista de Oro Suite. Reached 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 wood paneling. A series of delicate cabinets stretches the entire length of the room and carefully placed lightning illuminates antique treasures.
