You'll find Hotel Presidente in the rejuvenated area of Downtown San José, the beating heart of this energetic city. It’s hard to find a better location, with cultural sites like the National and Pre Columbian Gold Museums on your doorstep. Immerse yourself into the local lifestyle as you hop between gourmet cafes and sample Costa Rican cuisine. And make sure you stroll around Parque España, which will temporarily transport you to the country’s tropical jungles. After dark, meanwhile, you can head to quirky bars or clubs to dance the night away.
Watch the action of Downtown San José from above at the hotel's very own rooftop bar, Azotea Calle 7. A charming terrace surrounded by bright bougainvillea and palm trees, this place is a quiet oasis away from the city below. Inside, meanwhile, the industrial-chic décor features exposed ceilings and colourful mosaic tiles. You can sip refreshing signature cocktails and ice-cold beer as you gaze at the distant mountains and Central Valley. And tuck into ‘bocas’ – shareable small bites – as you soak up the bar's sociable, relaxed vibe.
There’s a real passion here for sustainability at Hotel Presidente, for both the environment and the local community. There’s a “dollar for dollar” programme for various charities, where the hotel will match every dollar donated by guests. Presidente staff also volunteer at the municipal homeless shelter and ASONI, an after-school programme where children can play in a safe space. Proudly boasting a “4 leaf” rating by the Costa Rican Tourist Board, this hotel can truly say they’re doing their best to protect their wonderful country.
This palm-dotted roof terrace is the perfect place to enjoy views of Central Valley and the mountains. Inside, the vibe is contemporary, with exposed ceilings and colourful mosaic tiles. And the tables are full to the brim with tasty cocktails and grazing plates.
The striking Hotel Presidente is a great choice for a comfortable, convenient base in Downtown San José. The spacious rooms provide a perfect base for exploring this fascinating city.
