HOTEL DUNN INN – A HISTORIC MASTERPIECE

An extraordinary urban acquisition awaits in the soul of San José’s most storied historic district. Housed within a beautifully restored 1929 landmark mansion, the Hotel Dunn Inn seamlessly pairs timeless architectural elegance with massive, modern redevelopment potential. Refurbished to high standards in 2022, this operational estate stands out as a high-yield asset for visionaries, hospitality magnates, and urban developers alike.

Property Overview:

• Accommodations: 28 beautifully curated guest rooms
• Bathrooms: 29 full bathrooms
• Land Footprint: 1,634 m² (comprising 5 consolidated urban lots)
• Current Structure: Charming 2-story historic main building
• Zoning Advantage: Mixed-Use Residential Commercial (ZMRC)

Unmatched Investment & Development Features:

• Vertical Growth Potential: The property boasts substantial unused air and development rights. Backed by a generous 2.50 construction coefficient, a developer can expand the site into a mid-rise 7-story urban tower yielding up to 10,437 m² of premium buildable space. This makes it an ideal canvas for high-density boutique studio apartments or multi-use commercial spaces serving San José's growing workforce.
• The Coveted Casino License: A truly rare and powerful asset included with this sale is a fully active casino license. In today’s regulatory climate, securing a new license of this nature in Costa Rica is nearly impossible. A hotel-and-casino concept positions an investor to drastically amplify immediate operational cash flow.
• Restaurant, Bar & Street Frontage: The building layout features an integrated tropical bar and restaurant boasting prominent street corner exposure. Capitalizing on both internal hotel guests and the high-volume foot traffic of trendy Barrio Amón, the hospitality spaces offer excellent scope for a reimagined culinary destination.
• Guaranteed Downtown Parking: While central downtown real estate routinely struggles with vehicle logistics, this package includes a dedicated connecting parking lot structured on one of the integrated rear parcels—ensuring seamless arrivals for guests and patrons.

Premium Interior & Exterior Assets

• Interior Craftsmanship: Soaring high ceilings, rich natural wood millwork, and expansive great room floorplans.
• Modern Amenities: Full air conditioning, ceiling fans, private en-suite bathrooms, and an elegant business center.
• Outdoor Spaces: Picturesque gazebo area, lush nearby public parks, and panoramic urban vistas.

The Location: Barrio Amón

• Set in the culturally rich heart of San José, the property is highly walkable and sits just moments away from the National Theater, historic plazas, renowned museums, and artisanal galleries. Its strategic highway connectivity distributes transit effortlessly to the western suburbs, Heredia, and Juan Santamaría International Airport.
• Offered at well below replacement cost, this turn-key operation offers a perfect equilibrium of immediate operational revenue and long-term land-value appreciation.
