Historic Wooden Houses

Hotel Aranjuez consists of five attached wooden houses built in the 1930s, preserving their original architecture. The 35 rooms feature simple furnishings and are each slightly unique. Some rooms share bathrooms, making this one of the lowest-priced options in San José. All rooms include a flat-screen TV, safe box, and Wi-Fi. Private bathrooms have either a tub/shower combo or walk-in shower with eco-friendly toiletries.

Local Costa Rican Breakfast

Breakfast is served each morning using sustainable, local products. The hotel's chef prepares made-to-order local dishes including gallo pinto, queso frito, and fresco de maracuyá. The hotel buys from the organic market at Polideportivo Aranjuez when possible. This breakfast is part of the reason for many repeat visitors.

Garden Oasis & Services

The property features a peaceful garden area with hanging chairs and self-serve flavored water and coffee. A 24-hour front desk provides assistance with local suggestions, airport transfers, and tour bookings. Additional services include luggage storage, laundry facilities, and free parking (though spots are limited).

Central Museum District Location

Located in San José, the hotel is 0.5 km from the National Museum and Jade Museum. Other nearby cultural landmarks include the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (0.5 km), National Theatre, National Cathedral, Gold Museum, and Plaza de La Cultura (1.5 km). The property is 15 km from Tobías Bolaños International Airport.

Eco-Friendly Urban Retreat

Run by a Costa Rican husband-and-wife team, this eco-friendly bed and breakfast offers an authentic Costa Rican lodging experience. The hotel's location provides distance from city hustle while maintaining walkable access to museums and cultural sites. The combination of historic wooden houses and tropical gardens creates an urban oasis for travelers seeking authentic accommodation.
