Montara Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Montara Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton is a 97-room mountain retreat in San Rafael Heredia, set in the green hills overlooking Costa Rica’s Central Valley. Around 20 kilometres from Juan Santamaría International Airport and downtown San José, it offers a quiet base for journeys towards Braulio Carrillo National Park, Poás Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Contemporary interiors use warm wood, organic textures and broad windows to connect the rooms and suites with the surrounding landscape; selected accommodations include private balconies and firepits. Dining is distinctly local, with Bosco pairing seasonal Costa Rican ingredients with international influences, Santoro serving fire-led steakhouse fare, and the 1998 Lobby Bar focusing on cocktails and curated drinks. A heated indoor pool, fitness facilities, nature trails, meditation areas, event spaces and a substantial spa round out a stay shaped by wellness, food and the outdoors.
