The Britannia Hotel is divided in two parts; one is the old house which houses five Deluxe Rooms and five Jr. Suites, as well as the restaurant which occupies what was once the old wine cellar of the house, appropriately named "The Cellar". The new part of the hotel consists of a four-story addition housing 14 standard rooms all of which have T.V. with cable, telephone, private bathroom with bathtub, hot water, safe deposit box and either one king size bed or two single beds. The Deluxe and Jr. Suite rooms have, in addition to all of the items stated for the standard rooms, a desk, a hair dryer in the bathroom and either one king size bed or two queen size beds.

These rooms can be reserved for 5 persons and are ideal for families or travelling groups of friends. The suites are spacious, with high ceilings, and keep the style of the original architecture of the house.

The house was built in 1910 by the immigrant Cipriano Herrero del Peral, an industrial coffee producer in Costa Rica. The house was designed using different European styles by one of Costa Rica’s most prominent architects at the beginning of the XX Century, Jaime Carranza Aguilar. The house would later be home to such prosperous and well-known families as Rohormoser Lahman, and Aguilar Muñoz.

In 1992, the remodeling of the house began along with the construction of the annexed building. By the end of 1993, the hotel finally opened its doors.

In what was the original wine cellar of the main house, is now our restaurant and bar. A cozy, intimate setting for you to enjoy a fine meal. In addition you can choose from over 500 bottles of wine—from many countries of the world—available in our permanent collection.
We invite you to savor our breakfast menu of only the best tropical fruits, and of course, world famous Costa Rican coffee. In the evening we offer our dinner menu, consisting of fine international cuisine such as Café de Paris Tenderloin, Trout Fillet with Almonds, Fettuccine with Shrimps—and for dessert Crepês Commeddi, Banana Flambé and Strawberry Romanoff.
