Our story
Since 1973 we set out to explore Savegre
We made our way through a mountain of dreams and found a river whose beauty captured us. We had arrived home.
The adventure was only beginning. Generation after generation we have kept searching for new horizons and ever more remarkable ways to bring the vastness of Savegre closer to those who visit us.
We are more than a hotel on a mountain: we are explorers of hospitality.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Savegre Mountain Hotel?
Savegre Mountain Hotel is located in San Gerardo de Dota, in the Savegre river valley, county of Dota, province of San José, Costa Rica. It sits in the cloud forest of the Talamanca mountain range, next to Los Quetzales National Park, about 87 km (54 miles) southeast of San José city.
How long does it take to get from San José to San Gerardo de Dota?
The drive takes 2 to 3 hours from San José city, and 3 to 4 hours from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). It is about 87 km (54 miles) along the Pan-American Highway south, plus a 9 km descent into the valley. The final stretch is steep and winding, so allow extra time and avoid driving it after dark.
What should I pack for San Gerardo de Dota?
Pack layers: long sleeves, a sweater or fleece, a waterproof jacket, and closed shoes with good grip. A warm hat and thick socks are welcome at night.
When is the best time to visit Savegre?
Savegre is worth visiting year-round: the cloud forest has no bad season. December to April brings clearer days and drier trails. May to November is wetter, mostly in the afternoons, and the forest is greener and in fuller bloom. For quetzals, the best window is January to June.
How many nights should I stay?
Two or three nights let you enjoy the place without rushing: early-morning birdwatching, the reserve's trails, an unhurried meal at Las Bromelias, a treatment at the spa, and switching off from city noise. A single night leaves little time: the round trip takes up much of two days.
