About Costa Rica Marriott Hotel

The Costa Rica Marriott Hotel, housed in a Spanish-style hacienda within a 30-acre coffee plantation, is located in the Central Valley city of Heredia, about 10 minutes from the country's capital of San José. The hotel's design fuses colonial architecture with antique decor, while integrating modern amenities such as a golf driving range, tennis courts, and two outdoor swimming pools. The hotel's Kuö Spa is inspired by its Costa Rican landscape—majestic volcanoes, vibrant rain forests, and dense tropical foliage, along with treatments that use native elements such as coffee, ash, and thermal waters.

Guests can sample Spanish tapas and sip fine wines at La Isabela restaurant and enjoy live music at the lobby bar. The 299 guest rooms offer an inviting retreat, with warm color palettes, balconies, and picturesque views. Meeting space totals nearly 13,000 square feet.

Tucked away on a tropical coffee plantation, the Kuö Spa Wellness and Journey immerses guests in its Costa Rican culture. Using extracts of coffee, volcanic ash, and other native ingredients, spa treatments are designed to send guests on a therapeutic journey to restore well-being.

Seasonal spa menus include the 80-minute Journeys—among them Tierra, Aire, Agua, and Fuego—which use elements of thermal mineral water, algae, mud, and herbs. Massage, facials, and body treatments are also available.

The 1,200-square-meter spa has eight treatment rooms, one dedicated to hydrotherapy rituals, as well as a full-service beauty salon.
