Welcome Page
Small, special, intimate: The Alta Hotel consists of only 23 units: 18 double rooms, 4 suites, and 1 Master suite.
The beautifully sculpted hotel cascades down Alto de Las Palomas (the Hill of the Doves), providing exquisite views of the volcanoes, mountains and valley that surround San Jose. The carved look melds different styles --- Spanish-Moorish medieval, countryside elegant --- into one graceful structure. The vaulted ceilings in the paseo and wide stone stairway lead castle-like from the reclusive guest rooms to the warm glow of La Luz Restaurant.
The hotel has an old-world ambiance, offering a sharp contrast to the modern, hotel look. When you arrive you will feel like you've entered a genteel hacienda in 17th Century Spain. The setting is welcoming and elegant, but not pretentious. Go up to your room, relax and savor the view, soon an exquisite feast will be served in La Luz.
The Alta Hotel, among the finest of Costa Rica's small boutique hotels, offers its guests a sublime combination of pampering services, understated luxury, and San Jose's finest cuisine.
Touring Costa Rica? Alta is the perfect place to begin your journey into Costa Rica's natural splendor; to relax after a business meeting; to enjoy your wedding or honeymoon; or after days in the wilds of Costa Rica, to indulge yourself before departing from the nearby international airport.
