Volcano Sunrise 1009, Elegant 1-bedroom apartment with rooftop pool and full gym

Wake up to sunrise views over the volcano and the San José skyline, then wind down under the moonlight from this peaceful 10th-floor retreat in the exclusive Nunciatura district — one of the safest, most walkable, and vibrant areas of the city.
Designed with a calm, airy feel, the apartment offers a balance of comfort and gracious living that makes it easy to settle in, whether you’re visiting for a few days or a longer stay. Work remotely from the different building facilities, spend slow mornings with coffee overlooking the city, explore nearby parks, cafés, and dining, or return after a day out to relax above the skyline and horizon over the mountains surrounding the Central Valley.
One of the highlights of the experience is the rooftop “sky therapy” atmosphere: a warm-water pool, tropical garden surroundings, sun deck, restaurant, and bar that create the feeling of a private urban oasis in the heart of San José.
Ideal for travelers seeking both connection and calm, this space blends city energy with elevated comfort and unforgettable views.

Volcano Sunrise 1009 @ Babylon

A modern home-from-home for tourist and business travelers who value comfort, convenience, and unforgettable views. Located in the iconic, award winning Babylon building, this stylish apartment offers an elevated apart-hotel experience in one of San José’s safest and most central neighborhoods.

Floor-to-ceiling sliding windows and a full-length balcony framed by greenery open onto sweeping views of the volcano, surrounding mountain ranges, nearby parks, the Central Valley, and the Virilla River biological corridor. Wake up to morning chorus and spectacular sunrises over the volcano and, on clear evenings, enjoy stargazing and moonrises illuminating the mountains and city skyline.

Completed in December 2025, the building combines contemporary architecture with carefully curated amenities designed for both short and extended stays. Its elevated position facing the Las Palmas mountain pass often brings cooler breezes and refreshing airflow throughout the day, creating a comfortable atmosphere despite its central urban location.
