Hotel Pure is pleased to announce the addition of its fourth member in Alajuela, Costa Rica.

San Jose, Costa Rica February 19, 2008 – As a result of Hotel Pure’s recent brand introduction to the Futuropa Travel Market in San Jose, Costa Rica, the Orquideas Inn Hotel & Resort has agreed to join the growing list of Hotel Pure properties. The introduction of the Hotel Pure brand to the Costa Rican hotel industry at the Futuropa Travel Market this past February 12^th, has made way for at least 25 properties which have shown great interest in joining the Hotel Pure concept. The Orquideas Inn Hotel & Resort’s inclusion responds to Oriens Travel and Hotel Management’s strategy to promote Hotel Pure in Europe through the upcoming ITB Travel Trade Show in Berlin.

The Hotel Pure Marketing strategy will target the thousands of visitors as well as exhibitors to be present in the largest professional convention within the travel industry this upcoming March in 2008. The Orquideas Inn Hotel & Resort, Spanish for Orchids, is conveniently located in the province of Alajuela at just 10 minutes from the International Airport while at the same time away from the city hustle. The addition of this new property will bring a new area into the Hotel Pure terrain giving its customers variety and convenience when booking their accommodations and trip to Costa Rica. The Orquideas Inn’s geographic location serves as an excellent starting point for visiting Costa Rica’s many attractions in the central valley as well as a departure point for relaxing before flying back home. This new addition will also enhance the Hotel Pure tours product due to its proximity to attractions such as volcanoes, beaches and popular rural areas where real estate attracts retirees as well as foreign investment.

“I was very interested in the Hotel Pure concept and franchise opportunity being offered to the Costa Rican Hotel industry. The midsize and unique hotels which thrive in Costa Rica and do not fall into the larger hotel chains’ model are pretty much left alone to survive on their own. The Hotel Pure concept allows for us to maintain our identity while at the same time being sponsored by a worldwide hotel brand.”, said Mr. Izmendi Alvarado, the Orquideas Inn Hotel & Resort Operations Manager.

The Costa Rican management team foresees the Hotel Pure brand to rapidly gain popularity and acceptance nationwide. A number of hotels will be visited within the next couple of weeks for inspection and final details before being displayed within the Hotel Pure website (http://www.hotelpure.com). Other Hotel Pure properties will be added in the near future in countries such as China, Canada, Greece, Bahamas, Panama and Nicaragua.

About: Hotel Pure (http://www.hotelpure.com) and Overseas Hotel Management of Costa Rica, S.A., are wholly owned subsidiaries of Oriens Travel & Hotel Management Corp (www.OriensCorp.com) trading on the US OTC Exchange under the stock symbol: OTHM.PK , is an upcoming consolidator in hotel accommodations worldwide, including a vast selection of unique hotels in China as well as customized tour packages in Costa Rica and China.

Located in the mountains, just at the starting point of Costa Rica’s countryside, is the Orquideas Inn Hotel & Resort. The hotel is conveniently located at just 10 to 15 minutes from Costa Rica’s International Airport which gives Las Orquideas the advantage of being a perfect starting point for your trip to Costa Rica.

The area, famous for having one of the most ideal climates in the world, is surrounded by friendly people and beautiful vegetation indigenous to this part of the country. Spanish for Orchids, Las Orquideas hotel was once a Spanish colonial style residence of a coffee farmer. The hotel’s 10 acres have been neatly kept and worked into a relaxing and peaceful area perfect for strolls along its paths. A short walk will take you through beautiful trees adorned with vibrant colored orchids, a fish pond and Fred, the hotel’s 15 year old scarlet macaw.

The Orquideas Inn offers a total of 26 rooms that range from standard, deluxe, master suites to their unique geodesic 2 bedroom dome. All rooms have their own bathroom with hot water, air conditioning, satellite TV, safe deposit box and phone. Another feature the hotel offers is free wireless internet service in all their rooms in case you need to sneak in some work while on vacations.

The great thing about Las Orquideas has to be its location. Although you are close to Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose, and downtown Alajuela, the hotel is just outside the city hustle. The hotel’s open distribution, great staff and glorious weather makes this a place to just kick back and relax.

The hotel’s social area is all located in one area thus giving privacy to the rest of the property. The restaurant, located on the second floor, overlooks the swimming pool and the property’s paths. On the first level you will find the famous Marilyn Monroe Bar where pictures of Marilyn glamorously adorn the bar’s walls. I was told that one of the hotel’s previous owners was a die hard Marilyn Monroe fan and collected her photographs. Many guests even mail back Marilyn pictures to be put up on the bar’s wall. So if you happen to have any Marilyn Monroe pictures put away somewhere in your attic, the folks over at the Orquideas Inn will be more than happy to receive them!

Now, if the Orquideas Inn’s peaceful setting isn’t already good enough, you will definitely be won over by its cuisine. The Orquideas Inn offers one of the best Costa Rican cuisines I have ever tasted! I was served Costa Rica’s typical casado dish, a wonderful combination of rice, refried beans, salad and sweet plantain. The casado is served with your preference of chicken, beef or fish. I ordered it with fish. A delicious breaded tilapia filet with tartar sauce…heavenly! I have been told that breakfast is even better … can’t imagine that!

If you are planning to come to Costa Rica, I highly recommend staying at the Orquideas Inn. It’s a perfect spot for enjoying nature, great food, relaxing settings with an inviting swimming pool and Jacuzzi as well as a magnificent view.
