## About the hotel
El Silencio Lodge & Spa sits within a 500-acre private reserve on the slopes of Poás Volcano, reached by a drive of around ninety minutes from San José into Costa Rica's cloud forest. Its suites are built into the landscape with private outdoor whirlpools and views over the forest canopy or a running river, and the lodge has held Relais & Châteaux membership since 2015. Two Michelin Keys and its remote, waterfall-laced setting distinguish it among Costa Rica's lodges.
