Sustainability The hotel takes sustainability seriously, with several environmental initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. In 2021, the Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belén became the first Marriott property in Latin America to install a solar-powered microgrid system. The solar panels generate energy to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 20.8 tons annually. Beyond energy efficiency, the hotel is actively involved in the local community through its Serve 360 initiative, which supports local projects and charitable organizations like the Food Bank of Costa Rica and the Roblealto Association. They also lead environmental programs, such as the recycling of plastic bottle caps to create accessible beach paths for people with disabilities, which demonstrates the hotel’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. Meetings & Events The hotel offers over 14,000 square feet of meeting space and 28 flexible rooms for business and social events. The Juan Vázquez de Coronado ballroom accommodates up to 1,000 guests, and the Central Courtyard is perfect for outdoor gatherings. Comprehensive event services, including planning, catering, and audiovisual support, are available. The on-site chapel, the first building on the property, provides a charming and historic setting for weddings. Experienced staff are available to assist with both business and wedding planning.
