Hotel Grano De Oro

In the thick of San Jose, with its myriad museums and green parks, the Hotel Grano de Oro is a piece of the city's history. Once the home of a prominent family, the Victorian exteriors set the tone of your stay and the coffee walls, white trims and turrets are undeniably handsome. Inside, the grand features continue: a Titanic-esque wooden staircase lead to corridors lined with black-and-white photographs and original artwork, and Italian fountains bubble in the atmospheric atriums. The smartly-dressed staff are always at the ready to assist with recommendations or arranging in-room massages but best of all is the restaurant. One of San José's finest, don't skip their signature Grano de Oro pie!
