Overview

Artsy Hotel Presidente

If you like to be where the action is, book a stay at the Hotel Presidente in San José when you visit Costa Rica. This vibrant hotel sits in the heart of the city's electric downtown area, where it is surrounded by the best the region offers in culture, dining, adventure and nightlife.

Start each morning by refueling with a complimentary breakfast buffet, then head out to enjoy neighborhood attractions. The city is abuzz day and night and the hotel is within easy walking distance of theater offerings, concerts, art galleries and museums. There are also markets, parks and a children's museum to explore. Nightlife abounds with plenty of bars, restaurants and pubs.

Hotel Presidente is easy to spot among all the area attractions. Sitting at the corner of 7th Street and Central Avenue Pedestrian Boulevard, the large building is ablaze in color. Stretching over two sides of the street-side tower and a middle panel is an abstract depiction of the city done in bright orange, purple, red, blue and yellow. It makes an amazing photo and is sure to stand out among the mementos of your stay.

The hotel offers superior customer service that begins with a warm and friendly welcome and a staff that caters to your needs. You'll find the rooms and suites are well appointed and very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a busy day or night. They also offer excellent water pressure and complimentary Wi-Fi accessibility.

Azotea Calle 7 is the hotel restaurant, which is itself an area attraction where you can dine on tapas or share plates of other local dishes in an open-air garden or at an indoor table. The rooftop restaurant and bar is an excellent place to take in the city skyline, sunsets and city surroundings while sipping a glass of wine or the latest cocktail.

Business guests and groups can take advantage of flexible meeting spaces that offer intimacy for discussions amid the fun atmosphere of the restaurant. There are always plenty of red taxis handy, and the hotel also offers complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport.

Hotel Presidente is very eco-conscious and works to minimize its global footprint. It holds a four-leaf rating (on a scale of five) for environmental impact, a certification awarded by the Costa Rica Tourist Board as part of its sustainable tourism program.

"Great hotel... it was nothing too fancy but very nice compared to a lot of others! Neat and clean with a beautiful lobby and great location in downtown San Jose. The best part is the rooftop jacuzzi with Sauna you can reserve!"
