Overview
Located in Costa Rica's lush cloud forest and nestled in the mountaintops of the Monteverde Reserve, the venerable, world-renowned Hotel Belmar offers guests truly unique experiences full of natural wonder, elegance, and warm friendly service – all within an unprecedented sensitivity to the preservation of the environment. We call this experience The Art of Nature – a simple phrase that sums up our commitment to the exquisite and beautiful natural experiences our guests will enjoy during their time spent at Hotel Belmar.
With the coveted award for 5 levels of sustainability, Hotel Belmar's commitment to the environment as well as the local community has been unyielding for over 30 years. Our guests will have a good night's sleep knowing that we are looking out for the ecosystems and community they are exploring.
Recent upgrades to the hotel were completed in 2012 with the goal of evolving the Hotel Belmar experience into an even greater one. Our guests can expect a variety of exciting new room styles, features, and amenities designed for exclusive, unforgettable comfort and quality.
The Belmar Family
At the heart of the warm, personalized hospitality that characterizes Hotel Belmar, you will find the Belmar family. Vera Zeledon and her children, Pedro and Soledad, are ever present at the hotel. They personally attend to every need of its guests and are one of the key attributes that separate our hotel from others.
The Certificate for Sustainable Tourism is a globally recognized program sponsored by the Costa Rica Tourism Board. It categorizes and certifies tourism companies on a scale of one to five according to the degree to which its operations contribute to a model of sustainability (five being the most sustainable). Its main purpose is to improve the way in which natural and social resources are managed, to motivate the active participation of the local communities, and to support the competitiveness of the business sector.
As the phenomenon of "green washing" becomes more prevalent, more and more discerning travelers are turning to certification programs like this to be able to recognize hotels that are truly committed to contributing to the social and natural well-being of the communities where they operate. CST, being one of the oldest, most rigorous and comprehensive sustainability certifications in the world, has gained more and more support worldwide.
Originally certified with one leaf in 2002 (the first company in the area to join the program), Hotel Belmar led the way for other hotels in Monteverde and was finally awarded five leaves in 2011. Hotel Belmar is currently the only hotel in Monteverde to lay claim to a Level 5 CST certification.
