Hotel Presidente

Top choice in San José


This formerly drab hotel is now a glorious boutique stay, right on Avenida Central. The lobby offers tons of inlaid brick and antique adornments, and a red spiral staircase leads to a rooftop garden and hip new cocktail bar. The central location remains ideal, as do the 71 well-appointed rooms, the best of which feature Jacuzzis and stunning city views.

The hotel's rooftop cocktail bar is the talk of San José, with incredible city views and an exquisite garden.The vibrant mural adorning the building's facade makes it a landmark for blocks around.
