A Luxurious Sanctuary at Hotel Alta Las Palomas Hotel Alta Las Palomas has become my absolute go-to place whenever I’m in San José, and every visit reaffirms why. This stunning boutique hotel offers a seamless blend of luxury, tranquility, and breathtaking views, creating a haven of relaxation and indulgence. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warm and professional staff, who go above and beyond to ensure an exceptional stay. A special mention to Michelle at reception, whose kindness, attentiveness, and dedication truly elevated my experience. She not only assisted with every request but also arranged a massage that was by far the best I’ve ever had—a truly rejuvenating experience that left me feeling completely refreshed. Dining at the hotel is an experience in itself. The restaurant setting is both elegant and serene, offering a perfect atmosphere to unwind while savoring delicious, thoughtfully prepared cuisine. Every meal was a delight, and the staff’s impeccable service only enhanced the experience. Beyond the stunning aesthetics and top-tier service, what sets Hotel Alta Las Palomas apart is the unparalleled sense of comfort and hospitality it provides. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a romantic escape, or simply a place to be pampered in style, this hotel delivers on every level. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone visiting San José. I can’t wait to return!

We found this beautiful property and it was above and beyond our expectations. It was absolutely stunning. From the charming unique rooms, the stunning views, colorful plants/flowers, amazing dining food/drinks. Rooms were quiet, clean and very comfortable. We were on the 1st floor so we didn't get a view of the sunset but we were just as happy to be able to walk out of our patio and visit the pool/sitting area and go to breakfast and dinner at the restaurant onsite. We will definitely be back!

I liked its unique boutique style. I appreciated the balcony but the balcony doors do not block out much sound and doors from another room were rattling all night. Fortunately I slept with earplugs, otherwise it would’ve been a problem.
