We love Grano de Oro´s traditional look and boutique feel, with period photographs adorning the walls of little hallways and interior gardens bursting with plants. The property is an original late-20th century house (once the residence of the cookie-producing Pozuelo family!) and you can feel the history in the hotel's details.
With three decades of experience, the great service offered by staff is consistent and Grano de Oro´s downtown location makes it super easy to get out and about in San José.
Sustainability tab
Hotel Grano de Oro has been awarded four of the five leaves possible in a rigorous sustainability certification managed by the Costa Rica Tourism Board.
The hotel organizes street clean-ups and tree-planting that staff can participate in, as well as contests to see who can save the most electricity and water at home, encouraging employees to produce energy-saving strategies.
In 2003 Grano de Oro’s owners, Eldon and Lori Cooke, started Casa Luz. Now managed by a non-profit association, the project provides a safe space for young women and children who experience abuse and sexual exploitation at home.
