Welcome to La Mansion Inn, one of the most truly unforgettable destinations in Central America and the only hotel in Costa Rica with its own Bat Cave.
Located in Manuel Antonio, near Costa Rica's famous National Park, La Mansion is nestled in one of the last remaining "natural zoos" of the world. During your unforgettable stay, you may see an incredible variety of animals: monkeys, sloths, anteaters, large iguanas and "pizotes" and more than 200 species of birds.
The Hotel:
La Mansion Inn, a 22-guestroom boutique hotel in Manuel Antonio, was chosen as a “Best for Romance” and “Best Luxury” Hotel by TripAdvisor® in its 2009 Travelers’ Choice® awards. Your host, Harry Bodaan (former co-owner of the nearby five-star El Parador hotel), has personally attended to hundreds of distinguished guests and celebrities such as Vanessa Williams, Elizabeth Taylor, Stephen Stills, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ricky Schroder, Robert Redford, Don Johnson, Nicholas Cage, and Kevin Costner...to name but a few! We are confident that we can satisfy your needs as well!
Situated on a mountainside overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Manuel Antonio National Park, the Inn provides fabulous 360 degree views from its rooftop "Sky Lounge" yet is just minutes away from pristine beaches, sport fishing at Quepos harbor, and the local airport.
Built as a luxurious private residence in 2000, the five-star suites and rooms are anything but "standard". The hotel is of elegant Mediterranean design and was constructed by a team of Swiss architects and decorated by Italian interior designers. Our interior displays a wealth of original paintings by some of Costa Rica's top artists. An eco-friendly project, water at the Inn is heated by solar energy.
The luxurious West Wing was opened in 2006 and extra Penthouse Suites were added to the East Wing in 2009. All rooms are air-conditioned and have bathrooms, a dresser, television, and an in-room telephone system. Private outside sitting areas are accessible through sliding glass doors from every room, which open to incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding jungle.
Situated in the heart of the Inn is a genuine bat cave bar, unique to Costa Rica and a must see for guests! The Inn also has its own restaurant for fine dining, including other intimate areas for dining and relaxing. These include a patio with barbecue, an infinity swimming pool with Jacuzzi, and the Sky Lounge, which is open 24/7.
