About This Property
Chirripo Art Hotel is a fully operating boutique hotel nestled in the cloud forest of Costa Rica's Chirripó highlands, where the Río Chirripó Pacífico moves below the property and quetzals and white-faced monkeys are regular visitors. Four individually designed casitas — Casita Amarilla, Casita Naranja, Casita Celeste, and Casita Verde — each offer guests a private gated garden and terrace, queen bed, full three-piece bathroom, and kitchenette, with the surrounding rainforest as the constant backdrop. Outdoor jacuzzi tubs, private trail access to a hidden waterfall, and al fresco dining at the on-site Fucsia Restaurant give the property a layered guest experience that goes well beyond a standard lodging offering.
The hotel has been thoughtfully built around the philosophy that design and nature should be inseparable. Art sourced from Costa Rican artists adorns the interiors, tropical flowers bloom throughout the grounds, and over 230 species of birds — along with wild orchids and butterflies — make the landscape feel alive at every turn. Guided horseback rides to rock caves and a centuries-old higuerón tree are available at a nearby finca, with summit views of Cerro Chirripó as a reward along the way. The Reserve at Monte Azul is reachable in under 10 minutes by trail from the property, and Chirripó National Park, Cloud Bridge Nature Reserve, and Sendero de los Gigantes are all within easy reach.
San Isidro de El General, the regional hub for banking, medical services, and shopping, is 30 minutes away — close enough for everything practical, far enough to preserve the quiet that makes this property what it is. The Pacific coast is within 90 minutes, offering an easy escape to the beach when the mountains call for a change of scenery.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a functioning, income-generating boutique hospitality property in one of Costa Rica's most scenic and sought-after highland corridors — a business with an established identity, a loyal guest following, and a setting that speaks for itself.
