The San Gildar Hotel is located in the clean, sunny and scenic suburb of San Jose (capital city) named San Rafael de Escazu, approximately four miles (10 minutes) west of busy downtown. Originally founded as an important villa just three years after the independence in 1824, the San Gildar is situated on the old highway to Santa Ana, just north of the traditional "Costa Rica Country Club." Its facilities were built in 1994, and include a restored colonial style "mansion."

The San Gildar offers you the best of both worlds: surround yourself with beautiful sights, handcrafts and colonial architecture in a highly selective, quiet area, without giving up accessibility to the embassy and business district, as well as the night life of San Jose and Escazu.
