| Set among ten acres of lush gardens, the
unique and comfortable Hotel Bougainvillea provides a quiet hideaway
where guests can truly experience the world famous natural beauty of
Costa Rica, just ten minutes from San José.
The Hotel Bougainvillea country living
with its crisp air, refreshing breeze and panoramic vistas, seems
worlds away from city life yet it is less than five miles from
downtown via a free hourly shuttle bus
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. |
Balconies opening from rooms display a
marvelous view of the mountains on one side and the San José skyline
on the other. Each of the eighty-three rooms has twin double beds,
tub or shower, and a separate seating area. There are also five
Junior Suites and six rooms for disabled people. The furniture is
especially made of Costa Rican hardwoods, and all rooms have cable
T.V. and direct dial telephones.
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. Every detail of the hotel and
restaurant operation is personally supervised by owner Hans van der
Wielen, who brought his extensive European experience with him when
he moved to Costa Rica in 1961. |
