Hotel Real Intercontinental

A city stay with time for the spa

An afternoon beside the pool or a day at the spa gives Hotel Real Intercontinental a leisurely side beyond its Escazu city setting. Just outside San Jose, the hotel pairs comfortable accommodation with a restaurant, bar, fitness center and tennis court, making it possible to spend a satisfying day here between excursions or meetings.

Concierge service, a business center and internet access help with the practical details. When you head out, a Costa Rican coffee tour can introduce the roasts and production behind a familiar morning ritual. An Isla Tortuga tour departs from the hotel with a shuttle toward the Pacific, and a shuttle into the city gives you another way to explore its shops.

The hotel has no direct beach access. Playa Jaco is under a two-hour drive from Escazu, so a Pacific day trip means setting aside travel time and starting early. Choose this hotel for its city location and on-site comforts, with coastal time planned as a separate excursion.

Keep the room benefits with the right booking

Standard and Club Tower Rooms both provide air conditioning, LCD television, high-speed internet, a work desk, coffee maker, hair dryer, minibar and in-room safe. Standard Rooms include breakfast. Club Tower adds Executive Lounge access with complimentary breakfast, daily beverages, evening beverages and hors d'oeuvres, plus private check-in. Choose that category if lounge time is part of the stay you have in mind, keeping these privileges attached to the Club Tower booking.

Real Intercontinental suits travelers who want to enjoy Escazu and San Jose without giving up the pleasures of a pool, spa treatment or evening meal at their hotel. For couples and older families who prefer city experiences, that balance lets this chapter of the trip have a little breathing room.
