Grano de Oro has long been one of our favorite places in San José. Situated on a shady street just off Paseo Colón, San José`s main thoroughfare, the hotel is a true oasis, a sanctuary in the heart of a bustling city. Converted from a 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 the rooftop deck offers two 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.
