Art
Every room is its own creative space — from our colorful garden casitas to riverside suites with museum-quality contemporary art and custom-made furniture.
About us
Art, Nature and Heartfelt Hospitality
An intimate retreat at the foot of Costa Rica's highest peak.
Our philosophy
More Than a Place to Stay
Chirripó Art Hotel is a retreat for travelers who want to connect with nature, discover local culture and find moments of peace, inspiration and adventure.
With just eight accommodations, every guest receives a private, personal experience. It never feels crowded — and you'll never feel like a number.
What we stand for
Three Things We Never Compromise On
Nature
Tropical gardens, natural rock pools, riverfront trails and a private waterfall — all at the gateway to Chirripó National Park.
Hospitality
A warm, personal team that treats every guest like family — from your welcome cocktail to your last breakfast.
Thoughtful touches
Because the Best Memories Are in the Little Things
True hospitality lives in the details. From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel welcomed, cared for and at home.
A Warm Welcome
A complimentary cocktail on arrival and a bottle of red wine waiting in your room.
Always at Hand
Coffee, tea and fresh juice all day, and a chocolate on your pillow at bedtime.
Special Occasions
Seasonal fruit and fine local cheeses to celebrate the moments that matter.
Our place
San Gerardo de Rivas
Tucked in the Talamanca Mountains of southern Costa Rica, San Gerardo de Rivas is the gateway to Chirripó National Park, home of the country's highest peak.
Our guests don't have to choose between the mountains and the beach — the Pacific coast at Dominical and Uvita is about an hour away.
