High ceilings, original walls made of thick brick, arches and
stained glass windows letting in colorful light all aid in creating
the hotel's warm Victorian atmosphere. Beautiful wallpaper,
fine rugs, ceiling fans, mosaic tile floors and English style
furniture contrast sharply with the tropical flower gardens
"a la tica".
The Britannia Hotel is divided into two parts; one is the old
house which houses five Deluxe Rooms and five Jr. Suites, as
well as the restaurant which occupies what was once the old
wine cellar of the house, appropriately named "The Cellar".
The new part of the hotel consists of a four-story addition
housing 14 standard rooms all of which have T.V. with cable,
telephone, private bathroom with bathtub, hot water, safe deposit
box and either one king size bed or two beds.
The Deluxe and Jr. Suite rooms have, in addition to all of the
items stated for the standard rooms, a desk, a hair dryer in
the bathroom and either one king size bed or two queen size
beds.
The Britannia Hotel is situated in the heart of Barrio Amón,
a zone possessing great architectural beauty due to the fact
that it was the home to much of San José's high class. The hotel
is centrally located 25 minutes from the international airport
and just six blocks from downtown San José, so as to be close
to the many tourist attractions, banks, post office, transport
services and the best nightlife spots that San José has to offer.
San José, Costa Rica, Calle 3 and Avenida 11, Barrio Amón. The
original house was built in 1910 by a wealthy Spanish emigrant
coffee baron Cipriano Herrero del Peral. The house was constructed
using imported materials from Europe and under the direction
of the architect Jaime Carranza, one of the best known and prestigious
architects around the turn of the century. In 1992 the idea
arose to transform the house into a unique hotel, due both to
the architectural beauty of the building and to the historic
value of the house, named a National Landmark by the Minister
of Culture. In 1993, renovation and remodeling of the house
was begun by the construction company "Van der Laat and Jiménez",
the actual owners of the hotel. Finally on August 26, 1993 the
hotel opened its doors to the public and held its inauguration.
RESTAURANT AND BAR
The old wine cellar was converted into the hotel's restaurant,
appropriately named "The Cellar". It has a capacity of 60 people
and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant
specializes in international cuisine and serves a wide variety
of delicious dishes. The bar serves all types of mixed drinks,
as well as beer and wine.
HAPPY HOUR is served from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The BRITANNIA HOTEL was created in order to provide quality
service to the tourist in Costa Rica in search of personalized,
professional service with an emphasis/focus on the individual
needs of each guest. Its name reflects an elegant, classical,
distinguished atmosphere which is evident in all facets of service,
rooms, restaurant and common areas, such as the main lobby and
the conference room. We are aware of the demands and necessities
of the modern day traveler. A traveler that every day finds
himself with more access to more tourist destinations, and that

are confident that we can provide excellent personalized attention
and quality service.
