The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at Gran Hotel Costa Rica is simply excellent! There are so many delicious options, including fresh fruit, yogurt, cold meats, and the ability to order made-to-order eggs or pancakes. The atmosphere on the fifth floor is great, with beautiful city views that enhance the dining experience. A special thank you to Chef Alex Antonio for making my dining experience even more special!

Luxurious Presidential Suite

I was fortunate enough to be upgraded to the Presidential Suite during my stay. It was incredibly spacious, featuring a large living area, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The suite was equipped with everything I could need for a comfortable stay, including a big-screen TV and a lovely platter of fresh fruit waiting for me upon arrival. It was an lovely experience!

Great Entertainment Options

I enjoyed the media options available during my stay. The TV had a wide variety of channels in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, and more. Plus, the common area on the fifth floor was a great place to relax, enjoy a drink, and take in the amazing view of the city. This made for a great way to wind down after a busy day.
