Top La California Hotel Reviews

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"We are regular guests at the Gran Hotel Costa Ricaā€”the grande dame of old downtown San Jose. When Hilton Curio took over about 8 years they modernized the property, while still keeping some of the old aesthetics in place. Itā€™s an upscale experience and the Bdeakfast Buffet is amongst the finest Iā€™ve ever had. The gym is also modern and well equipped. Still the best hotel in the downtown area especially for business purposes. Highly recommended."
