Property Description

Welcome to the Holiday Inn┬« San Jose Downtown Aurola, Costa Rica! Costa Rica's 5-star hotel located right in the heart of San Jos├¿. When you stay at the Aurola, you're just a stroll across the park from museums, night life, shopping and the nation's financial and government centers. This sleek, mirrored tower is a San Jos├¿ landmark, reflecting the ever-changing tropical skies above this exciting Latin American capital, gateway to Costa Rica's world-renowned natural beauty. The Aurola's spacious, tastefully decorated rooms and suites are designed with our guest's comfort in mind and most offer incredible views of the city and mountains beyond. We have what it takes to make your visit a pleasure: two great restaurants, lounge, indoor swimming pool, gymnasiums, banquet and conference facilities. Well, come on in and take a look around! Our lobby is San Jos├®'s premier meeting and greeting place! The use of tropical hard woods, stone and indigenous plants in the d├®cor provides a welcoming atmosphere with a native touch. You'll understand why Costa Rican's are known for their friendliness the minute you are greeted by our courteous, bilingual doormen and our front desk receptionists. Guests will enjoy a convenient guest services booth and tourism center, where they can get information about local tours and attractions.HOTEL FEATURESÔÇóIndoor Swimming Pool and Jacuzzi open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.ÔÇóNews stand & souvenir StoreÔÇóTravel agencyÔÇóComplimentary guest parkingÔÇóFitness centerÔÇóMoney exchangeÔÇóTwenty four hour front deskÔÇóTwo restaurants, Tropicana, and El Mirador ÔÇóLa Palma lobby barÔÇóMeeting and banquet facilitiesÔÇóPriority Club reward pointsÔÇó24 hour Room Service
