Studio Hotel

Art lovers will feel right at home in this small contemporary hotel. The lobby, common areas and rooms all feature a wealth of original works by major contemporary and historical Costa Rican artists, including Rafa Fernandez, Isidor Con Wong, and Edgar Zuñiga.  The stylish Katowa restaurant serves up a fab buffet breakfast with local dishes. However, the piece de resistance is the third-floor rooftop pool and lounge area under a soaring white canvas tent structure, with mountain and city views. The hotel sits on a busy intersection at the entrance to Santa Ana, with many restaurants and bars a short walk away.
