Hotel Presidente

Costa Rica | family, group, tailor-made | hotel | city | comfort

Hotel Presidente has been a presence for four generations – from its roots in the world of fashion to its enduring emphasis on authentic Costa Rican hospitality. The name came from a visit from one of the most famous Presidents of recent time, JFK. During his visit to Costa Rica, the owners of the building walked outside to witness his convoy come past, and hear a number of bystanders remarking on the construction, speculating that it was a hotel being built in honour of the President. At that moment, the fate of the building was changed from a boutique, to the ‘Hotel Presidente’.

Location

The hotel has a strategic location; it is located in the heart of the capital where you will have the experience to feel like a local. Strolling the downtown avenues, relaxing in the parks and feeling the vigorous energy and buzz provided by the edgy new boutiques, bars and restaurants opening just about every day. At Hotel Presidente, this dream becomes reality. The full-service hotel offers an incomparable location in the center of it all, literally seconds away from the city’s most legendary landmarks, as well as a flourishing cultural vibe – all for incredible value.

Rooms

The rooms at Hotel Presidente are among the most spacious hotel accommodation in downtown San José, ideal for business trips, weekend getaways and family holidays.

Hotel Facilities

Designed to honor the building’s original structure while also lending a touch of industrial modernism, the hotel lobby greets you with an invitingly warm brick and polished teak décor; the staff is just as welcoming, reflecting the traditional, family-owned graciousness of which Hotel Presidente is rightly proud.

Begin your day in the Costa Rican capital with an outstanding hot breakfast buffet – included in your room rate. Stay connected at all times with free Wi-Fi access, or squeeze in a workout in the fitness room. Pedal off on one of the hotel’s complimentary bicycles and explore the city at your own pace. And be sure to spend time on the green roof – a venue unlike anything in the city, with native greenery and unparalleled views.
