Hyatt opens lifestyle hotel in San José, Costa Rica

Hyatt Hotels recently announced that the Hyatt Centric brand opened its first hotel in Costa Rica.

Located in the vibrant Escazú neighborhood of Costa Rica’s capital city, Hyatt Centric San José Escazú is a full-service, lifestyle hotel with 161 rooms and suites offering access to boutique shops, dining, and key corporate offices within the Plaza Tempo Shopping & Business Center.

The hotel’s central location offers savvy travellers the ideal homebase to explore San José’s city center, the National Stadium of Costa Rica, as well as natural sites like La Paz Waterfall Gardens, Poas Volcano National Park, and Costa Rica’s famous beaches, rainforests, and mountain adventures.

Beautiful suites

Guestrooms and suites showcase the vibrant colours of the Costa Rican landscape through shades of orange, blue, copper and green as drawn from the sunrise over the mountains, the textures of the summits, and the contrasting views of the forest and city lights below. Guests will find curated artwork in guest rooms such as ceramic wall decor and small ceramic bath amenities as well as watercolour canvases.

All guest rooms are outfitted for comfort with a creative and compact design, with inviting seating areas and a host of thoughtful amenities, from complimentary Wi-Fi and mini fridges to plush bathrobes and Drybar hair dryers. Many guestrooms offer vivid views of the city and mountains.

Eat & drink

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú gives guests a taste of local flavours and craft cocktails at two dining venues that feature ever-evolving menus embodying the essence of the destination. All day dining is available at ground floor restaurant, Cense Restaurant, offering a blend of Costa Rican specialties and international favorites made with locally sourced ingredients.

The outdoor terrace at Cense Restaurant provides an alfresco dining experience with an intimate, private dining option for up to 12 guests. At Cense Restaurant, self-taught textile artists, Carla Lesano and Violeta Morice, manually incorporate woven designs of square knot ropes into a large canvas that encompasses the surrounding mountain landscape, capturing the essence of interconnection and stability. For more casual fare, 19-49 Lounge Bar & Café serves freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee and light snacks during the day and signature cocktails with unique local ingredients, accompanied by tapas, burgers, and small bites by night.

From its downtown location to its bright, sophisticated spaces, Hyatt Centric San José Escazú is an ideal destination for all types of gatherings from corporate events to special celebrations with over 6,000 square feet of flexible event space.
