Description

Seize the opportunity to acquire a distinctive hotel property—an established institution strategically located between SJO International Airport and downtown San José. Nestled in the heart of a secure, upscale residential community, this 34-room hotel is the ideal investment for those seeking immediate returns. Unlike coastal hotels subject to strong seasonality, this property enjoys a stable occupancy rate of around 70% year-round, supported by a business and leisure clientele drawn to the Central Valley’s eternal spring-like climate.

The property stands out for its authentic identity and refined décor, celebrating Costa Rican culture through murals, indigenous statues, and lush vegetation. The 34 particularly spacious rooms are fully equipped to meet the most demanding international standards: quality bedding, air conditioning, safes, as well as suites with private jacuzzis offering breathtaking views of the Escazú mountains. Leisure facilities include a pool and a large solar-heated jacuzzi, a gym, and a sun deck bathed in natural light.

One of this property’s key strengths lies in its technical and operational independence. The hotel has its own certified potable-water well and a backup power plant, ensuring uninterrupted service. Financially, the business is particularly sound, with a 12.5% cap rate. Revenue is not limited to room nights: the 60-seat restaurant-bar and an efficient commission system on car rentals and excursions generate substantial additional profits from day one of operation.

The location is simply unique: the hotel is just a five-minute walk from the new National Convention Center, a $62 million project that ensures a steady flow of visitors for international events. Set back from airport noise and the bustle of the city center, the property offers a secure haven of peace while remaining in immediate proximity to major roads and free-trade zones. This “revenue machine,” perfectly run and well maintained, is ready to be handed over to a new buyer looking to capitalize on a reputation for excellence and a prime location in Costa Rica.
