DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cariari San Jose is a four-pearl property located a 10-minute drive from Juan Santamaria International Airport. The hotel’s rustic elegant design pays homage to colonial hacienda-style architecture, but its 222 guest rooms have an unmistakable chain-hotel feel. It has a good range of on-site features -- including an attractive outdoor pool, a restaurant, bar, and a well-equipped fitness center -- which are particularly essential given that there’s not much for guests to do within walking distance. Its large, flexible meeting spaces make it a popular choice for conferences and events. Travelers may want to compare amenities and rates with the nearby Costa Rica Marriott Hotel San Jose.

Despite belonging to the Marriott chain, this upscale hotel is full of character, style, and Old World charm with its grand hacienda-style design, smartly dressed interiors, and beautiful garden grounds. A resort-esque line up of features: two pools, an exceptional spa, modern fitness center, driving range, and several restaurants -- make this an appealing option for vacationers. Its 209 rooms are large and come with minibars, coffeemakers, and Juliet balconies. Despite the lackluster location, the Marriott’s colonial character, resort-style amenities, and vast business events capability shape a refreshing departure from San Jose’s predominantly generic, business-centric hotels. Travelers seeking similar amenities, but with modern rooms and lower rates could try the Real InterContinental Costa Rica at Multiplaza Mall.

Home to Costa Rica’s largest convention center, the sprawling upper-middle-range Wyndham is a magnet for large-scale (predominantly business) events, though its proximity and ease of access to the airport resonates with many traveler types. Between the three outdoor pools, swim-up bar, Hard Rock Cafe, Japanese and Italian restaurants, casino, sports bar, spa, and beauty salon, the Wyndham rivals a resort with its many features -- though much of the property remains dated. Its 230 rooms and suites are huge, and while also jaded, they’re perfectly quiet, comfortable, and well-equipped with features like coffeemakers, minibars, suit stands, and huge handsome bathrooms. Suites have spas and kitchenettes. The free buffet breakfast (guests rave about), free airport shuttle, and free Wi-Fi comprise some appealing perks, though travelers seeking something more compact and modern could try the Holiday Inn San Jose-Escazu.
