Montara Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Nestled in the hills overlooking the Central Valley, Montara Hotel has been revitalized to offer Hilton’s renowned hospitality and signature guest benefits while preserving the authentic character of this longtime local retreat. Set across approximately 540,000 square feet of lush grounds, the hotel blends contemporary elegance with the beauty of its surroundings, to offer a stay that connects nature, wellbeing and authentic connection to place. With more than 130,000 square feet of built facilities and 97 rooms, including 38 suites, the ample space combines the privacy and tranquility of a mountain retreat with sophisticated design and thoughtful service. Sweeping valley vistas, welcoming gathering spaces and thoughtful touches inspired by Costa Rica’s rich culture and biodiversity invite guests to step away from the pace of everyday life and experience the destination from a different perspective. Warm wood finishes and organic textures enhance airy, light-filled interiors, while expansive windows frame the mountains, gardens and private lakes beyond. Guest rooms with private balconies and firepits further extend that connection to the outdoors, creating an immersive stay that encourages visitors to reconnect, recharge and feel present.

Art is an integral part of Montara Hotel’s identity. An exclusive collection was created specifically for the property by renowned Costa Rican artists, drawing inspiration from Montara and its surrounding landscapes. The curated collection of original works includes National Painting Award recipient Mario Maffioli and Fabio Herrera, whose work is represented in the collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art. Sustainability is woven throughout Montara's design and operating plans, including solar panels for self-consumption, 100% LED lighting, electric maintenance and landscaping equipment, a wastewater treatment plant designed to support water reuse for irrigation, rainwater collection and hydration stations intended to eliminate single-use plastics.

Dining at Montara Hotel is expressed through four distinct concepts rooted in Costa Rican identity. Bosco, the signature restaurant, pairs international influences with seasonal Costa Rican ingredients and works with farmers, artisans and producers from Heredia and surrounding communities; an organic garden supplies fresh herbs and seasonal vegetables. Santoro is a fine-dining steakhouse led by international chef Regis Molina, featuring premium cuts, fire-based cooking and an open kitchen. The 1998 Lobby Bar serves signature cocktails and curated beverages, while a dedicated juice bar near the pool and fitness areas offers fresh drinks.

At the heart of Montara Hotel's approach to wellness is a 13,200-square-foot spa led by specialists across a range of treatments, with more than 20 years of experience. Designed around restoration, wellbeing and longevity, the spa offers relaxation treatments, hydrotherapy, advanced facial therapies and holistic healing practices, complemented by open-air decks, meditation areas and private nature trails. Together, these experiences reflect a broader shift toward wellness and longevity as an integral part of travel, in a way to return home feeling restored and renewed.

Beyond its leisure amenities, Montara Hotel offers approximately 12,700 square feet of event space and gathering areas designed for corporate retreats, social events, special celebrations and unforgettable weddings. With its extraordinary mountain setting, expansive grounds, culinary expertise led by world-class Chef Regis Molina and dedicated wellness facilities, Montara Hotel creates distinctive celebrations that can be tailored to each occasion. Its event spaces and outdoor settings provide a unique backdrop for social events, bringing together nature, gastronomy, wellness and personalized hospitality to create experiences that extend far beyond the traditional celebration.
