Botánika - Costa Rica - 2024
Botánika, the unprecedented luxury eco-destination on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, has completed construction on phase one. The first ever ground-up construction in Hilton’s Curio Collection, Botánika methodically and intentionally rewilds a former agricultural site; restoring a degraded ecosystem and providing authentic floral and faunal habitat through what might be called Rainforest Rejuvenation of the property. It is envisioned that wildlife will again move freely to, from, and through the forest canopy of this transformed property which features direct links to the fabled Corcovado National Park.
