Property Description
Welcome to the Holiday Inn® San Jose Downtown Aurola, Costa Rica! Costa Rica's 5-star hotel located right in the heart of San Josè. When you stay at the Aurola, you're just a stroll across the park from museums, night life, shopping and the nation's financial and government centers. This sleek, mirrored tower is a San Josè landmark, reflecting the ever-changing tropical skies above this exciting Latin American capital, gateway to Costa Rica's world-renowned natural beauty. The Aurola's spacious, tastefully decorated rooms and suites are designed with our guest's comfort in mind and most offer incredible views of the city and mountains beyond. We have what it takes to make your visit a pleasure: two great restaurants, lounge, indoor swimming pool, gymnasiums, banquet and conference facilities. Well, come on in and take a look around! 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.
