| 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 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 13 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 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. |
