Our lobby is San José's premier meeting and greeting place! The use of tropical hard woods, stone and indigenous plants in the décor provides a welcoming atmosphere with a native touch. You'll understand why Costa Rican's are known for their friendliness the minute you are greeted by our courteous, bilingual doormen and our front desk receptionists. Guests will enjoy a convenient guest services booth and tourism center, where they can get information about local tours and attractions.
