The Hotel Don Fadrique is located in Los Yoses, San José's "Embassyland", a quiet upscale garden area of mansions set in tree-lined streets, only a 10 minute walk from downtown. The University campus, with its green areas and lively nightlife, is only a few hundred yards away.
The hotel is an elegantly remodeled villa-style residence set in lush tropical gardens laid out around fountains and a spreading mango tree. A wide range of local flora - particularly heliconias, orchids, bromeliads and palms - is on display.
The hotel also houses one of the country's finest private collections of Costa Rican art. The Don Fadrique combines the amenities and services of a big hotel with the intimacy and personal attention of a traditional
Spanish inn.
