Hotel Grano De Oro
Summary
Situated on a shady street just off Paseo Colón, San José's main thoroughfare, Hotel Grano de Oro is a beautifully converted Victorian mansion.
The 35 rooms are furnished in an old fashioned style with wrought-iron beds and rich damask fabrics in three jewelled colour schemes - navy, burgundy and forest-green. The art and furnishings are handcrafted by Costa Rican artists and no two rooms are alike.

Location
San Jose, Costa RicaBest time to go
Costa Rica experiences two distinct seasons- a wet season, which lasts from May to mid-November, and a dry season, which lasts from mid-November to April. In any given region, however, the weather is dictated not only by the season, but by elevation and proximity to the sea.
