The Hilton Garden Inn is located in Liberia, an up-and-coming town that is part of Costa Rica's Guanacaste region. Only five minutes from the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport, and close to a number of popular national parks and beaches, Liberia's location couldn't be better.

With the recent opening of the international airport, this once sleepy cowboy town is being transformed into something of a tourist hub - visitors won't have any trouble finding tasty restaurants, hot bars, and entertainment to fill their days while staying here. However, this small town - with roughly 40,000 residents - is also one of Costa Rica's oldest towns, a fact that visitors can witness for themselves in the buildings, churches, and neighborhoods which make up Liberia. Indeed, colonial architecture abounds, with white-washed, red-roofed buildings making up a large percentage of the town's structures. Liberia also has some serious cowboy roots, and not surprisingly, is surrounded by cattle ranches. Every July 25 - called Guanacaste Day - there are celebrations which feature parades, bullfights, and a rural fair, all of which will please the cowboy-friendly tourist. In addition to its own gems, Liberia is surrounded by many outdoor attractions that visitors will likely enjoy. Tamarindo and a number of other popular beaches are nearby, as well as several national parks - Rincon de la Vieja, Santa Rosa, Barra Honda, and Palo Verde.
