Hyatt Centric San José Escazū, the first Hyatt Centric-branded hotel in Costa Rica, is now open for business.

This full-service new property is located in the lively Escazú neighborhood of Costa Rica’s capital city, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and corporate offices.

Let’s dive into the details of the new Hyatt Centric San José Escazū.

Hyatt Centric San José Escazū — Details

The Hyatt Centric San José Escazú is the first-ever Hyatt Centric-branded hotel in Costa Rica. It joins 7 other Hyatt Centric properties in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as over 60 branded hotels around the world.

The new hotel has 161 rooms and suites with modern décor and views of the city or mountains. Guestrooms and suites include the colors of the Costa Rican countryside in shades of orange, blue, green, and copper, as well as curated artwork in the form of ceramic wall decor, miniature ceramic bath amenities, and watercolor paintings.

All guestrooms have a seating area and a variety of useful amenities, like complimentary Wi-Fi and minifridges, bathrobes, and Drybar hair dryers.

The hotel features 2 restaurants, complimentary parking, electric vehicle charging stations, a fitness center, and 6,000 square feet of event space.

“We look forward to introducing guests to the vibrant local culture and international influence available right here in the heart of San José,” said Natalia Zora, general manager of the Hyatt Centric San José Escazú.

Booking Hyatt Centric San José Escazū

With the Hyatt Centric San José Escazū now officially open, you’ll have the option of redeeming World of Hyatt points for award nights at the property.

From our research, award availability at the property seems to be wide open. In fact, using MaxMyPoint, we see standard room and suite availability for December, with point prices ranging from 12,000 to 15,000 points per night for a standard room and suites starting at 20,000 points.

Cash rates at the hotel start at $160 over the next 2 months, but those are likely to go up as the hotel establishes itself. As a Category 3 property, this might be a decent use of Category 1-4 free night certificates when cash rates are on the higher side.

Hot Tip:

To celebrate the hotel’s debut, World of Hyatt is providing members with an opportunity to earn 500 bonus points when staying at Hyatt Centric San José Escazù from November 20, 2024, to January 31, 2025, part of World of Hyatt’s new hotel member offer. No registration is required.

Final Thoughts

The Hyatt Centric brand makes its debut in Costa Rica today with the arrival of the Hyatt Centric San José Escazū, which has a prime location in the downtown, vibrant district of Escazū in Costa Rica’s capital.

It is always a good thing when more Hyatt hotels open in desirable destinations, especially when you can get a good deal by using points to pay for your stay.
