Hotel Alta las Palomas

This is the quintessential boutique experience. Nestled against Alto de las Palomas (hill of the doves), this charming 23 room boutique hotel is rooted in history, sustainability, art, culture, and promotes relaxation in its midst. The property spotlights a thriving Guanacaste tree more than two centuries old, which provides a stunning historical centerpiece for an outdoor dinner, cooked by an award winning chef and harvested from local, farm grown ingredients. La Luz restaurant indulges in local, international, and Mediterranean flavors to suit your every palate.

Panoramic views of the city of San Jose abound from every balcony. A stay in the master penthouse suite gifts its guests with even further views of the rainforest, volcanoes, and on a clear day, the crystal blue sparkling sea. Live music from local artists often finds its way to the grounds. If you’re looking for a little relaxation, don’t forget to visit the library for a quiet sit down, or embrace the breeze on the rooftop terrace. Whether on a business trip, honeymoon, or even a solo adventure – no matter where you step foot on these grounds, you’ll feel like you’ve bit into a little piece of old European charm.
