Here you'll easily forget that you're just 15 minutes from San José. Set amidst the coffee farms of Santo Domingo de Heredia, the hotel has extensive areas dominated by tall trees and brightened by plentiful flowers.

The Hotel Bougainvillea is an excellent choice if you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel in a quiet residential neighborhood not far from downtown.

The views across the valley from this hillside location are wonderful, and the gardens are beautifully designed and well tended.

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 one rooms has twin double beds, tub or shower, and a separate seating area. There are also four Junior suites and two rooms for the disabled. The furniture is especially made of Costa Rican hardwoods, and all rooms have cable T.V. and direct dial telephones.
Hotel Bougainvillea has the charm of a family owned and operated hotel. Every detail of the hotel and restaurant is personally supervised by owner Hans van der Wielen, who brought his experience and style when he came to Costa Rica in 1961.
