Step back from the downtown hustle and bustle to that quiet place between the mountains where country roads and villages, fresh breezes, and never ending spring seasons (average temperature 70ºF) invigorate and renew.
Set among 10 acres of lush gardens, the unique and comfortable Hotel Bougainvillea is a place where guests can truly experience the world famous beauty of Costa Rica, just ten minutes from San José. Add to this a free, hourly shuttle service into San José and you have a perfect combination.
Hotel Bougainvillea has the charm of a family owned and operated hotel. Every detail of the hotel and restaurant is personally supervised by owner Hans van der Wielen, who brought his experience and style when he came to Costa Rica in 1961.
Surrounded by coffee plantations and citrus orchards, the lush gardens provide an enticing setting for jogging through winding trails, tennis, or relaxation by the swimming pool.
Massive beam ceilings, wood paneling and a fireplace give the hotel bar the intimate feeling of a country inn. Our gourmet restaurant features international cuisine served elegantly on fine linen, imported bone china, crystal stemware and fresh flowers on every table.
