Carbon-neutral Hotel Belmar in Costa Rica has unveiled its thoughtful room renovations completed this summer. We stepped inside for a closer look…
The redesigned Hotel Belmar rooms harmonise the property’s focus on its unique natural setting while providing guests with the modern comforts they desire. Local designers with Costa Rica’s NAAS Interior Culture led the project, redefining the guest experience with a subtle balance between contemporary design and the hotel’s forest surroundings. Rooms feature natural materials, such as wood, and a palette of subdued colours to create a warm and welcoming environment.

Mid Century Modern elements and furniture provide clean lines and functionality to each room without compromising elegance and comfort. Textures and patterns on velvet and natural fibres add a layer of luxury and modernity to the renovated rooms. Materials chosen were sourced responsibly and selected for their low environmental impact. This includes the use of sustainable wood, low VOC paints, and organic fabrics that contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
The enhancement and upgrades to the rooms create spaces that invite visitors to bask in natural light and enjoy the sounds of the forest as they transition seamlessly between indoor comfort and the outdoors. The remodelled Sunrise Room, for example, offers a private balcony with panoramic views of the cloud forest and the Nicoya Peninsula, allowing guests to wake up to breathtaking vistas.

The design team integrated local art and craftsmanship throughout the hotel, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Costa Rica. These unique pieces add authenticity and a sense of place, making each space within the hotel feel truly special. The renovations reflect Hotel Belmar’s continued commitment to environmental stewardship, offering guests a luxurious stay that aligns with the principles of responsible travel. This thoughtful redesign has transformed its rooms into eco-conscious sanctuaries, ideal for travellers seeking both comfort and sustainability in an unforgettable setting.

We are delighted to inspire a design that captures our vision of sustainability, ensuring every enhancement supports our long-standing dedication to environmental stewardship”.
