Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota

Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota occupies a heritage building at Avenida Carrera 7 No. 69A-22 in Zona G, Chapinero Alto, Bogota, Colombia. The area is known as the city's gourmet district, with many of Bogota's best-regarded restaurants within a few blocks, and the Calle 72 financial district is nearby. Carrera 7 carries buses and taxis toward the historic centre and La Candelaria, and El Dorado International Airport is roughly 40 minutes away by car depending on traffic. The building is a national monument, built in 1945 by Santiago Medina Mejia from salvaged colonial stonework and hand-carved beams. It now operates as a 62-room Four Seasons in which every room differs in layout and character, with timber ceilings, stone details and fireplaces in some categories. Room types run from Superior and Deluxe Rooms to the Casa Medina Suite and the Penthouse Suite. Dining is anchored by Castanyoles, a restaurant beneath a glass roof in the original central courtyard, and a bar serves drinks and light plates. The hotel has a spa and a fitness center, but it is a smaller boutique property and does not have the extensive facilities of the city's tower hotels. Service is attentive and personal, with a concierge desk, valet parking and a business center, and the atmosphere suits couples, leisure travellers who prefer character over scale, and executives who want a quieter base than the downtown towers. Rates run roughly COP 1,200,000 to 2,400,000 per night (about USD 377 to 755). Because the hotel is a heritage structure, room sizes and layouts vary considerably, and guests with specific preferences can request particular room types. The surrounding Zona G streets are lively in the evening with restaurant traffic, though the hotel itself is calm, and registered taxis or ride-hailing apps are the usual way to move around after dark.
