This 140-room Sheraton opened in 2013 and it remains quite modern; in fact, it has quickly become a reliable gem for business travelers who need to count on certain things during their stay in San José. Close to corporate headquarters and Costa Rica's biggest mall, the entire property offers free and reliable Wi-Fi -- and there are plenty of areas to work, starting with the cheerful lobby that seems to go on forever, along with sleek conference facilities, and in-room working desks. Super comfy rooms also have floor-to-ceiling windows and coffeemakers with local brew. When ready for a break, head to the breezy rooftop bar, which offers views of the often jaw-dropping sunsets. There's also a small pool (that no one really uses), a fitness center, and trendy restaurants with varying hours of operation.

The 372-room Intercontinental is the biggest and best-equipped hotel in the San Jose area, with a pool complex, enormous spa, five restaurants, a rental car desk, and even foreign currency exchange. It's a haven for business travelers, and offers some truly luxe accommodations in its Club Tower. But it feels like a large chain hotel, so leisure travelers who want to experience some local charm might want to consider the nearby Marriott San Jose.

Wyndham Garden is a modern upper-middle-range business-centric property located in San Jose’s poshest province, Escazu. The 111 huge rooms are clean and come with flat-screen TVs, minibars, coffeemakers, and modern bathrooms. They’re also surprisingly quiet given the neighboring highway which most rooms overlook. Other features include a modern restaurant with a casual cocktail bar, 24-hour room service, and a sundries store. For leisure, there's an indoor 65-foot lap pool (though some find it too chilly) and a sprawling (albeit sparsely equipped) fitness center. Freebies include a decent hot buffet breakfast, secure parking, and a shuttle service to local malls and business parks which is handy because it’s impossible to get across the highway on foot. As an alternative, the Isla Verde Hotel has lower rates, a free buffet breakfast, and Cantonese restaurant.
