Gran Hotel Costa Rica

It all began in the 1920's when the exporting of coffee brought wealth and prosperity to Costa Rica.Those affluent visiting coffee barons from Europe created a demand for the country's first hotel, the Gran Hotel Costa Rica. Since it's opening in 1930 the Gran Hotel Costa Rica has become the place to stay for such famous people like Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, John Wayne, King Pele, Julio Iglesias, Mario Moreno aka Cantinflas, Sierra Clubs, Audubon Societies and environmental groups. Within a few minutes walk you can visit the Jade Museum, one of the world's largest exhibits of pre-Columbian jade, Costa Rica's National Museum, which features over 40,000 pre-Columbian artifacts plus local handicraft markets and restaurants. Even after recent renovations, to better serve you, our hotel has maintained its neo classic architecture and European style charm. The Gran Hotel Costa Rica, located in the "Corazon" or heart of our capital city, invites you to experience the original charm and friendliness that has made our hotel "the place to stay in San Jose."
