Why People Love It
- Spacious suites with kitchenettes that feel like a private apartment

Quick Take: A solid, spacious home base for work or families, provided you skip the cheapest rooms and bring earplugs for the Bogota traffic.
Reviewed by @cvvergara1: I honestly didn't expect the suites to be this huge. Having a full kitchen and living room changed the whole vibe of our Bogota trip—we actually looked forward to coming back to the room. If you're traveling with family, this spot is a total no-brainer.

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is there a swimming pool?
No. There is a steam room and spa, but no swimming pool, despite what some outdated third-party sites might say.
Do all rooms have air conditioning?
No. The entry-level 'Superior' rooms often rely on ventilation. Book a Deluxe or Suite to ensure AC.
Is the area safe?

How far is the airport?
El Dorado International (BOG) is about 30-45 minutes away by car, depending on Bogota's notorious traffic.
Is breakfast included?
It depends on your booking rate. If purchased separately, it costs approx. 38,000 COP (~$10 USD).
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, pets are allowed for a fee of approximately 70,000 COP per night.
Insider Tips
- ✨
The rooftop gym has a surprisingly great view of the Andes—go for a morning run just for the scenery.
- ✨
Ask for a 'quiet side' room specifically; the staff knows the street noise is an issue and will try to accommodate.
- ✨
The on-site restaurant 'Cornelia' is decent, but you are 10 minutes from world-class dining in Parque 93—don't settle.
