Hotel El Maragato, San Jose

For decades, this hotel has been one of the best places to enjoy the dynamic yet tranquil capital. From the balconies, you can observe the beauty of the mountains or the Plaza Cultural. Nearby lie the National Theater, art and souvenirs markets, museums, commercial centers and cinemas. An inviting European-style cafe awaits you on the third floor. All rooms are spacious, with large windows and private baths, and many have balconies. Most rooms have two double beds, but some are outfitted with one double bed, a large desk and an extra telephone.
