The hype
Travelers love the breakfast buffet and the embassy proximity, but often find the rooms a bit clinical.

Защо хората я обичат
- Walkable to the US Embassy (5 mins) and Corferias

Бързо резюме: A sterile but highly effective fortress of sleep and Wi-Fi in the middle of Bogotá's business district.
Преглеждано от @cvvergara1: I stayed here for a quick business trip and it was flawless. The rooftop terrace is a hidden gem for evening cocktails, and the room felt like a proper sanctuary. If you need a stress-free base in Bogota, this is absolutely it.

Преди да резервирате
Добре е да знаете
- Foreign tourists are EXEMPT from the 19% VAT (IVA) if they have a PIP/PTP stamp—check your bill carefully at checkout.
- The 'Seguro Hotelero' (hotel insurance) fee of ~$5/person is often added automatically but is technically voluntary; you can decline it.
- Uber works well here but sit in the front seat; taxis are also plentiful.
Какво да пакувате
- Universal travel adapter (Colombia uses Type A/B like the US, but voltage can vary)
- Light jacket (Bogotá is 8,600ft up and eternally cool/chilly)
- Swim cap (mandatory for the lap pool at the gym)

Is breakfast included?
Yes, a robust buffet with eggs, arepas, fruit, and coffee is standard for all guests.
Does the hotel have AC?

Съвети на инсайдъра

The hotel is connected to a small mall/plaza; the 'Hornitos' bakery there is a local legend for cheap, delicious lunches.
- ✨
Ask for a 'mountain view' room to see the Cerros Orientales instead of the office buildings.
- ✨
If the shuttle schedule doesn't work, a taxi from ELD airport is only ~$8-10 USD.
5 неща, които трябва да знаете преди да отидете
💡The 'pool' is a serious lap pool in a commercial gym, not a leisure pool for lounging with a cocktail.
💡You might find a draft coming from the closed windows on windy nights (common on 10th floor).
💡The hotel restaurant '1921' is decent but overpriced compared to the excellent local options just across the street.
💡Housekeeping is aggressive about replacing towels even if you hang them up.
💡The lobby can get chaotic with large tour groups or airline crews checking in at once.
