Hotel Belmar Becomes First Costa Rican Member of Design Hotels™

Monteverde, Costa Rica

Hotel Belmar is proud to announce its official inclusion in Design Hotels™, a globally curated collection of independent properties known for exceptional design, cultural authenticity, and a strong sense of place. With only around 300 hotels worldwide, Design Hotels™ selects members for their originality, creativity, and meaningful storytelling.

As the first Costa Rican hotel to join the Design Hotels™ community, Hotel Belmar brings a legacy of thoughtful aesthetics, local craftsmanship, and hospitality grounded in sustainability, regeneration, and community. This milestone honors the hotel’s essence and reflects a continued commitment to elevating Monteverde’s culture and natural beauty on a global stage.

“Our hospitality remains unchanged: independent, rooted in Monteverde, and guided by our deep relationship with the land and people around us,” said Pedro Belmar, Executive President. “This imprimatur does not redefine who we are. It amplifies our voice, helping us reach more travelers who value authenticity, creativity, and a deeper sense of meaning. We see this as an opportunity to speak to a global audience, and to inspire more mindful travel that values excellence while honoring culture, community, and the planet.”

Hotel Belmar’s inclusion in Design Hotels™ affirms its vision to celebrate the art of nature through intentional design, mindful hospitality, and experiences that are locally grounded yet globally resonant.
