Hotel Mirador Pico Blanco

A sleepy stone inn high in the hills, Pico Blanco is perched on a ridge 3km southeast of central Escazú. It has seen better days, but its 15 rooms are comfortable, with tile floors, cable TV and clean, if slightly worn, bathrooms. For the money, you won’t find more extravagant metropolitan views. A small onsite restaurant cooks up traditional meals.
