Which are the best luxury hotels in Bogota, Colombia? Our list includes two Four Seasons hotels; Four Seasons Hotel Bogota and Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota, plus JW Marriott Bogota, Bogota Marriott Hotel, Grand Hyatt Bogota, Hilton Bogota, Sheraton Bogota Hotel.
Colombia is situated on the northernmost tip of South American. This rainforest-covered country of Colombia boasts the Andes mountains, numerous coffee plantations, wonderful colonial architecture, and plenty of fabulous all-night salsa clubs.
Its booming capital, the high-altitude Bogotá, is a magnificent mix of a historic old town and new restaurants, boutique hotels, and craft breweries. Don’t miss Sundays in Bogota when its streets are closed to cars and overtaken by bicycles, Rollerbladers, and runners. It’s also when the Usaquen neighborhood has a weekly market.
Boasting a pleasant climate year-round, the city’s emerging culinary scene, the thriving arts community, and fascinating traditional culture, myriad historic sites, and gorgeous surrounding countryside provide endless opportunities for exploration.
For travelers planning to go to Cartagena or Medellin, Colombia’s rich coffee region, or the Amazon Basin, Bogota is the ideal starting point from which to get acclimatized.
1. Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota
The landmark 1946 building of Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota was designed by Colombian artist-architect Santiago Medina Mejia. The building has been declared a cultural monument, its stoned columns, brick walls, beamed ceilings, and contemporary furnishings.
This hotel has some of the most quietly elegant rooms in the city, complete with beamed ceilings, hand-carved wooden furnishings, and fireplaces to cozy up to. No two rooms are alike. This is also a very small Four Seasons hotel. A boutique hotel with just 62 rooms.
The hotel is located steps from the buzzing financial district and the gourmet paradise of the Zona G, ideal for foodies. This district north of downtown hosts the capital’s finest restaurants (the “G” is for gastronomy).
The hotel also houses a stylish Mediterranean bar & restaurant, with a greenhouse atrium perfect for languorous romantic evenings or a quick bite with a signature cocktail. The Spa is also excellent here and offers green coffee wraps, coconut scrubs, and other locally inspired spa treatments.
Of course, there is no Four Seasons rewards program, but if you are a regular guest of the Four Seasons or even want to try this iconic brand for the first time, you can take advantage of loyalty style benefits at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our luxury travel concierge.
2. Four Seasons Hotel Bogota
Four Seasons Hotel Bogota is the newest Four Seasons in Bogota and provides a warm haven of customised service and sophisticated style for its guests.
Inspired by the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains, Rottet Studio has created a design aesthetic for Four Seasons Hotel Bogota, combining pattern, texture, color, and craftsmanship that is epitomized in the bright new lobby. Here, wooden screens form airy “walls” that climb up across the ceiling, enveloping guests in warmth accentuated with touches of rich green evoking Colombia’s famous emeralds.
Four Seasons Hotel Bogota provides an oasis of quiet glamour with 64 rooms and suites, with custom-made beds framed by dark leather headboards and paneling and pale floors of locally-sourced hardwood. Throughout the Hotel, nearly all materials are Colombian, with furnishings, finishes, and artwork all handcrafted by the country’s artisans and artists.
After beginning the day at Biblioteca restaurant, guests of Four Seasons need not go far to experience Bogota’s red-hot culinary scene. Next door, Four Seasons offers Kūru, a fabulous new Japanese restaurant and bar opening for lunch midday and continuing into the night for cocktails, dinner, and late-night dining. Featuring shareable sushi and sashimi alongside Japanese mains with hints of Latin American flavors, the heart of Kūru is the robata barbecue, which Chef Diego Soriano, most recently of the famed Morimoto in Mexico City, and his team grill skewered meats before the delighted eyes of their guests.
Their Spa encompasses five luxurious treatment rooms, including an oversized couple’s suite, as well as relaxation lounges, steam rooms, and a spa shop. The spa menu features facials, massages, and body treatments using internationally-renowned Biologique Recherche products and the Colombian spa brand Loto del Sur.

JW Marriott Bogota has a prime location in the heart of the financial and entertainment districts, close to major corporate offices, the finest restaurants, bars of Zona G and Zona T and top area attractions, including Santo Tomas University, Avenida Chile Shopping Mall and National Theater Calle 71. The neighborhood is excellent, with lots of restaurants within easy walking distance.

4. W Bogota
The chic W Bogota Hotel adds a vibrant vibe to Colombia’s always-bustling capital. While the hotel is fabulous and happening, the immediate area around is lacking in anything much and is pretty quiet. It is in a more affluent part of the city, so you are likely to feel safe walking around, but there are not a huge number of nearby restaurants to choose from beyond the hotel.
Choose from 168 guestrooms with LCD smart HDTVs, rainforest showers, and other sharp features. Enjoy access to the W brand’s modern gym concept and Away Spa, both are retreats for detoxing and refueling. Market Kitchen restaurant features a farm-to-table menu of world-class dishes accompanied by local fruits and vegetables, open 24/7.

5. Grand Hyatt Bogota
Grand Hyatt Bogotá is 10 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from the historic center and 2 minutes from the American Embassy. While this is an excellent hotel, its location is nowhere near as good as the JW outlined above.
Enjoy the best views of the city accompanied by the mountains of the Andes. View more than 55,000 historical pieces in the nearby Gold Museum, climb to the top of Monserrate hill or admire the art in the different museums that the city offers, and return to relax and revitalize your body in Zaitania Spa. Finish your day with an unparalleled dinner at one of two restaurants, Ushin and Capitalino, or have a drink at Ilustre Bar with signature cocktails.
Designed with bold and vibrant features, the hotel has 372 beautifully decorated guestrooms, including 50 suites, that invite guests to wake up in open, airy rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lush inner atrium garden multicolored lights of the metropolis, or the cloud-topped majesty of the Andes Mountains.

The Grand club lounge here is very good and is open 7 days a week. Breakfast is a smaller spread than in the restaurant with a limited but very good buffet and two warm options, usually including omelets. The lounge includes soft drinks and juices, cappuccinos, espressos, tea, and hot chocolate from a machine throughout the day and limited alcoholic drinks in the evening.

8. Bogota Marriott Hotel
Bogota Marriott Hotel is a Rewards Category 3 Marriott Bonvoy hotel. Located near the area of Sauzalito, this downtown hotel places you near popular destinations in Colombia such as the U.S. Embassy Bogotá, Gran Estactión shopping mall, and Simón Bolívar Metropolitan Park. This Marriott is about a mile from the airport, and usefully, they have a shuttle. This Marriott is basically a very good airport hotel. The location is totally unappealing for a tourist.
Unique rooms and extended-stay suites offer comfort and convenience. Tune out the city with the soundproof windows while you relax on cotton-rich linens and watch movies on your flat-panel TV.
When you’re hungry, stop by Pimento, their casual Italian restaurant, or try Tanoshii, crafting the most authentic Japanese cuisine and trendy sake-based cocktails with live music in the background. There’s also a well-equipped fitness center and complimentary training classes. When it comes time to relax, revel in bliss at the indoor pool and full-service spa.

9. Sheraton Bogota Hotel
Sheraton Bogota Hotel is a Rewards Category 3 Sheraton located next door to the Bogota Marriott Hotel, located in the new business center of Bogota in the Salitre section and near the airport, but in an unenviable location for tourists. If you are visiting Bogata for leisure, the JW Marriott is a much better choice for location.
A few blocks away, you will find the Salitre Plaza and the Gran Estacion commercial centers, the El Dorado International airport, and the Industrial Zone, where major businesses have established their headquarters.
Sheraton Bogota Hotel has a decent executive club lounge on the 10th floor, which is open 7 days a week, with a nice breakfast.
