Fodor's Expert Review Encanto Inn & Suites

In the heart of San José's historic Art District, this gorgeous and comfortable inn has two separate buildings—one looks onto the verdant gardens and pool; the other one, across the street, is in a charming, historic building with a narrow courtyard. A former hacienda, the property was converted into a hotel and the horse stables into rooms. Surrounded by gardens and adorned with climbing vines, all guest quarters are immaculate and impeccably decorated with wood plank headboards and unusually high beds royal-style. This intimate hotel makes for a great wedding property, and the on-site chapel harkens back to the Mexico of years gone by.
