"Hotel Alta Las Palomas looks like something out of Provence with its terracotta roof tiles, arching doorways and sweeping vistas of grassy hillsides." Full review
Jetsetter "City living meets mountainside retreat, with old-school style and drop-dead views of bustling San José." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Spanish colonial buildings of the Alta Hotel cascade down a lush hillside above San José, coming to rest at the deck of a brilliant blue, glass-tiled oval pool." Full review
Fodor's "The view from this hotel perched on a hillside above Santa Ana is impressive, but so is the building itself with its blend of colonial and modern style—think archways, hardwoods, and leather" Full review

Guest rooms are spacious, with handcrafted furniture and bathrooms with hand-painted tiles; ask for one on the fourth or fifth floor to take advantage of the view.
