Hotel Grano de Oro is a sanctuary in the heart of San José, 20 minutes from the international and 10 minutes from the domestic airports. Converted from a Tropical Victorian mansion, the 40 room hotel maintains the warmth and comfort of a private home with all the amenities of a fine hotel. French Chef Francis Canal merges Costa Rican Tropical with European cuisine to create a very unique dining experience in the hotel´s popular restaurant. The hotel is ideally located for exploring San José and its museums and other local sites as well as for enjoying a host of daytrips to the rainforest, volcanoes or experiencing the thrill of white water rafting.
