The Holiday Inn San Jose Escazu is the third property to open through IHG’s relationship with Grupo Agrisal, the others being the Holiday Inn San Salvador and the Crowne Plaza San Salvador.

The hotel is located within five miles of downtown San Jose, in the upscale neighborhood of Escazu, where a number of major global corporations house their Costa Rican operations. The property’s location, adjacent to the state-of-the-art Hospital CIMA, makes it an ideal destination for Costa Rica’s rapidly evolving medical tourism industry. The property is also within walking distance to many of San Jose’s major centers, including the 350-shop Multiplaza Mall, restaurants and entertainment.
