Area
Tucked into the lush foothills of Heredia just 15 minutes from downtown San José—and less than 10 minutes from the international airport—this hacienda-style retreat feels worlds away. Set on a 30-acre working coffee plantation, it’s the rare airport-adjacent hotel that’s actually worth arriving early for.

Vibe
Romantic Spanish-colonial meets Costa Rican coffee country chic. The architecture is grand and stately—arched doorways, terracotta roof tiles, hand-painted tiles, carved wood beams—yet the energy is calm, almost meditative. It’s a place where business travelers sip espresso under palm trees, families wander the grounds in linen, and couples sneak off to the spa before a flight.

Amenities
• Two palm-fringed outdoor pools with loungers and mountain views
• 30-acre private coffee plantation with walking paths
• Kuö Spa with coffee- and volcanic-ash-infused treatments
• Driving range and lighted tennis courts
• Free airport shuttle
• Five restaurants, including a Peruvian fine-dining experience
• 24/7 fitness center and in-room wellness programming
• On-site concierge for arranging local tours (Poás Volcano, Café Britt, and more)

Rooms
Elegant and serene, rooms feature plantation-style furnishings, plush bedding, and views of the pool, coffee fields, or mountains. Many include Juliet balconies or terraces—ideal for that last cup of Costa Rican coffee before heading out. Suites include separate living areas and Executive Lounge access for elevated service.

Dining
• La Isabella – Sophisticated Peruvian cuisine with Latin flair, best enjoyed by candlelight.
• Antigua – All-day Latin American menu with poolside seating.
• Casa del Café – Their signature coffee shop, perfect for early flights or afternoon pick-me-ups.
• Bar 10 & Hacienda Kitchen – Local fare, cocktails, and breezy social energy in a hacienda-style courtyard setting.

Spa
The Kuö Spa is inspired by the healing rituals of the land. Treatments use coffee grounds, volcanic ash, cacao, and native botanicals to soothe jet-lagged bodies and ground restless minds. A must before (or after) a long flight.

Why Book
If you’re arriving late or flying out early, but still want a true Costa Rica experience, this is the one. Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belén delivers all the character of an inland retreat—coffee fields, colonial charm, spa rituals, and mountain views—without sacrificing convenience. It’s also a top pick for weddings, conferences, and longer stays thanks to its sprawling layout and luxe amenities.

This is not your typical airport hotel. This is hacienda living with a Marriott polish.
