Our last night in Costa Rica, we stayed in San Jose, the capital, at the Hotel Don Carlos. The hotel is centrally located, yet small and quite charming. I loved how filled with light and art it was!
Wrought-iron railings galore.
Detail of a hammered copper artwork.
On the wall outside my room...looks like a Putamayo record label.
Elaborate tiled fountain in the central courtyard.
"The Conversation" in the breakfast courtyard.
Beautifully-painted old cart wheels, re-purposed as tables.
The fountain in the breakfast courtyard.
Interesting use for pre-Columbian statue.
Pre-Columbian figure and mask, in the lobby area.
Also in the lobby area, a statue I affectionately dubbed "Big Guy, Little Guy."
Interior stained-glass windows.
Two examples of tile art found throughout the hotel.
And a close-up for Stefanie!
