Hyatt is opening another new hotel in Costa Rica, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The new Hyatt Place San Jose Cariari will be set in the heart of the most important economic hub in the country, about a mile from the recently-launched Costa Rica Convention Center. 

It will be set in the province of Heredia, about six miles north of San Jose. 

The new Hyatt Place will join a pair of existing Hyatt-branded hotels in Costa Rica: the Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo and the Hyatt Place San Jose Pinares. 

“We are thrilled to expand the brand’s footprint in Costa Rica with the development of this new Hyatt Place hotel,” said Camilo Bolaños, Vice President of Development and Real Estate – Latin America and Caribbean, Hyatt. “Hyatt Place hotels offer high-energy professionals who want to balance the priorities of work and life with elevated amenities and added conveniences that help guests do more. The proximity and connectivity to Costa Rica’s international airport and brand new Costa Rica Convention Center will set Hyatt Place San Jose Cariari apart and will ensure business travelers will get the most out of their stay.”

The property, which will have a total of 120 rooms, is slated to debut in the second quarter of 2021. 

It’s the latest Hyatt Place project in the wider region; Hyatt Place’s first-ever Aruba hotel opened earlier this month.
