Concierge.com's insider take:
Flights tend to arrive late and leave early from Costa Rica, so there's a good chance you'll be staying overnight in the capital. That proposition becomes much more appealing if you're booked into the Alta Hotel in Altos de las Palomas, about 15 minutes from Juan Santamaría Airport. This 23-room hotel's name refers to its hilltop location in the Central Valley, and from your room you'll have a view that, while not bucolic, is still rather beautiful. Stucco walls, a barrel-tiled roof, and gentle arches give the impression of a colonial-era building. Rooms lead to covered terraces, and there's a sapphire-colored oval swimming pool at the center of the hotel's tropical gardens. If you want to stroll the streets downtown, this isn't for you, but if you do opt for an overnight here, join dressed-to-the-nines locals in the second-floor La Luz restaurant, which serves modernized local dishes (shrimp sautéed with sage and roast garlic potato cake; coffee-wood smoked vegetables and tequila lime butter).
