Thus, rooms follow an open and integrated layout, designed to dissolve boundaries between indoors and out. Connection with the surrounding jungle guided the architect’s every decision, while privacy remained essential—not a single room shares a wall with another, ensuring a deep sense of intimacy and retreat. Embracing imperfection, texture, and authenticity, the hotel is awash in an earth and ash color palette that soothes the senses, while handcrafted pieces by local artisans bring warmth and soul to the minimalist architecture. Every element is designed with intention—to quiet the mind, slow the breath, and create the stillness needed to let imagination and wonder flow freely. Each room features original artwork by Costa Rican artist Mael Victory, whose bold brushstrokes, inspired by Japanese minimalism, embody restraint, texture, and the beauty of impermanence—perfectly echoing Esh’s serene aesthetic. The Why of Esh “He who has a why can bear almost any how” The word Esh means “fire”. Where there is fire, there is transformation. Here, the natural surroundings encourage you to look inward and engage with your own truths to connect to self, nature, and intention. When you enter Esh, you’ll find a mirror—a reflection of who you are and who you aspire to be. Esh is a canvas where every stone, tree, and shadow inspires wonder, a space to question, redefine, and become the architect of your own existence. ## Rooms and suites - **Canopy Suite** (45sqm (484sqft); King bed): The Canopy Suite is a secluded retreat perched above the jungle, featuring a balcony that reaches into the treetops, where you can savor golden morning light or the gentle rhythm of soft rain.
