Costa Rica Hotel, The Grand Hotel Costa Rica

Costa Rica Hotel
Grand Hotel Costa Rica



















The only hotel in Costa Rica declared as a Historical - Architectural landmark by the Costa Rican Government.

The Best Location in town! In the heart of the city... yet in between National Monuments, squares, museums and pedestrian streets. It is vivid during the day but quiet during the night thanks to the fact that no streets with vehicles surround the hotel.

The History of Gran Hotel Costa RicaThe idea to establish the first big hotel in the then small Costa Rica of that time arose in 1920, when the flourishing coffee exports became our main trade activity, around which the social-cultural life of the country took place. Those distinguished men traveled to Europe to educate themselves and commercialize the valuable product on which our economy was sustained. Inspired by the beauty of the Opera House in Paris, they promoted the opening of our National Theater in 1897, a replica of the magnificent French building in the quiet city of San José.More about Gran Hotel Costa Rica history ->
