Hotel La Amistad  

Tucked in the artistic barrios of Otoya and Amon in San José, this centrally located hotel sits within easy walking distance of the city center. You're minutes from Sabana Park, the National Stadium and the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, with the National Theatre, shops and nightlife just a short stroll away. All-inclusive rate options are available for travelers who want to simplify their stay.

Step into an Art Deco-meets-Costa Rican interior with tile and marble accents and rich native wood beams and floors. The property has 34 rooms, including penthouse suites and luxury rooms, many featuring memory-foam mattresses, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, in-room safes and—even in select suites—24-jet Jacuzzi tubs and personal dry saunas.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge, concierge and tour desk to book local excursions, plus laundry and luggage storage for easy comebacks from day trips. Roundtrip airport shuttle and transfers can be arranged (surcharge applies), and all-inclusive packages cover meals and many beverages if you opt in—wake up to city mornings without worrying about bills.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected, with a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and safe-deposit boxes for convenience during work or meetings.

Enjoy on-site dining and a bar/lounge serving drinks after a day of exploring. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available each morning (and included with some rates or all-inclusive plans), while all-inclusive options can cover lunch, dinner and select beverages—menus nod to local Costa Rican flavors alongside familiar favorites.
