Rooms
Hotel Boutique Luz de Luna pays tribute to indigenous cultures with pre-Colombian stylizations of monkeys, iguanas, and the feathered serpent in the room designs. Rooms feature indigenous patterns, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen cable TV. Some units include a seating area. Room options include single, double, and triple rooms. The largest room is 65m2 and features original floors, large windows, and a private balcony.
Dining
The integrated restaurant, Luna Roja, offers Nueva Cocina Costarricense, a fusion of local, Spanish, European, and Afro-Caribbean elements. Regional plates are traditional but innovative. The menu includes Costa Rican seafood soup, Caribbean sauce, arroz con pollo, and pierna de cerdo. Creative dishes include sirloin in coffee sauce, avocado sauce, coconut sauce and tamarind sauces. A coffee shop/cafe is available, and a free full breakfast is provided.
Concept and Design
The hotel's cultural and artistic concept promotes indigenous cultures of Costa Rica, reflecting a philosophy based on the unit of nature and humanity. The name "Luz de Luna" (Moonlight), or "Dat Tebej" in Brunca, honors those who lived before the Spanish conquest. The moon and the owl in the reception represent the indigenous world view. Art and crafts exhibitions are in the restaurant. The hotel promotes ecological practices, including natural lighting and ventilation, solar panels, and recycling.
Location and Access
Hotel Boutique Luz de Luna is in Barrio Escalante, known for neocolonial villas, streets, and plazas. It is 1.4 km from the Pre-Colombian Gold Museum and a 10-minute walk to museums, restaurants, and shops. Paseo Gastronómico La Luz, with eight restaurants, is nearby. Tobias Bolanos International Airport is 15 km away, and Juan Santamaría International Airport is a 30-minute drive.
Services
This smoke-free inn offers a 24-hour front desk for city information and airport transfers. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, free self-parking, a terrace, a garden, laundry facilities, and a meeting room. The hotel is accessible to people with disabilities; a number of amenities include free WiFi. The hotel supports national products and labor.
“The Luz De Luna presents an intriguing mix of cultural immersion and convenient location near San Jose's attractions. While it aims for a boutique feel with indigenous-inspired decor and local cuisine, some firsthand accounts suggest the execution can be inconsistent. Still, its commitment to eco-friendly practices and a focus on Costa Rican traditions may appeal to travelers seeking a more authentic experience.”
