As the capital city, San José attracts guests from all over the world who come for vacations, business or to visit family. History and art dominate city tours, while a host of hotel types can accommodate everything from conventions to weddings. Many museums feature fascinating contributions of Costa Rican art, science, and culture. Be sure to visit the exquisitely beautiful National Theater, built to rival the Paris Opera. In the Escazú area you can find high-level shopping centers. Check out the many hotels listed below for your corporate needs or cosmopolitan curiosity. Some include casinos and live music, or perhaps you prefer the quiet atmosphere of a boutique room in a Victorian mansion. Please note: people who fly into San Juan Santamaría Airport (SJO) actually land in the small town of Alajuela, about 15 miles from San José, although San José is listed as the official location.
