Review: Hotel Alta is located in Los Altos de Las Palomas, 15 minutes West of San Jose. This small, luxury hotel is the perfect blend of old world colonial architecture and modern extravagance. Work off some stress in the fitness center, sample the wine cellar as you lounge by the Mexican glass-tiled pool, or enjoy the pleasure of a private, in-room massage.
