A National Landmark built with material from Europe !!
The Britannia Hotel is situated in the heart of Barrio Amón, a zone possessing great architectural beauty due to the fact that it was the home to much of San José's high class. The hotel is centrally located 25 minutes from the international airport and just six blocks from downtown San José, so as to be close to the many tourist attractions, banks, post office, transport services and the best nightlife spots that San José has to offer.

The original house was built in 1910 by a wealthy Spanish emigrant coffee baron Cipriano Herrero del Peral. The house was constructed using imported materials from Europe and under the direction of the architect Jaime Carranza, one of the best known and prestigious architects around the turn of the century. In 1992 the idea arose to transform the house into a unique hotel, due both to the architectural beauty of the building and to the historic value of the house, named a National Landmark by the Minister of Culture.
