The Parque del Lago Hotel’s optimal location, expedient services and cost-free wireless internet connections are all key points on today’s business traveler’s list. Sitting at the doorway to the city of San Jose, the Parque del Lago Hotel boasts one of the best hotel locations in the city. Major shopping districts and business centers are only a 5 to 10 minute drive away, while the Juan Santamaria International Airport is a 15 minute drive on the Inter American Highway, also located only 2 minutes from the hotel’s doorstep.  While the hotel has a strategic city location, it also enjoys a bit of nature from the adjoining 72-hectare green, known as the La Sabana Metropolitan Park. Just across the street from the hotel, La Sabana’s forested fields have helped to clean up the quite polluted air of San Jose. Snaking trails provide for nice long walks, while numerous jogging paths wind under shady eucalyptus trees. The park has good volleyball and basketball courts as well as nicely grassed soccer and baseball fields. There is also an Olympic size pool providing a special swimming slot from 10 a.m. to 2p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays, designed for the needs of the business segment, looking for a moment to unwind and exercise. Tennis courts are located on the southeastern corner of the park and are open to the public at large.

Last but not least, Parque del Lago’s newly renovated Iconos Restaurant offers a fresh, contemporary atmosphere with non-pretentious, honest international food. Every morning enjoy the generous breakfast buffet, included in your room’s tariff.  And after a long day’s work, slow down and kick back at Iconos classic Happy Hour, from 5 to 7 p.m., giving you a free boca or appetizer with your first drink, a custom here in Costa Rica.

The Iconos bar offers tropical drinks, classic cocktails and a select wine and beer list.
