GHL Hotel Tequendama Bogota

GHL Hotel Tequendama Bogota is a landmark of mid-century Bogota at Carrera 10 No. 26-21 in the Centro Internacional of the Santa Fe district, Colombia. It opened in 1953 and remains one of the largest hotels in the country. Its location puts the Museo Nacional and the Monserrate funicular within a short walk, and La Candelaria, the Gold Museum and Plaza de Bolivar are a short taxi or TransMilenio ride away. El Dorado International Airport is roughly 30 to 40 minutes by car depending on traffic. The building is a large tower with the scale and public spaces typical of 1950s grand hotels. Rooms are dated but spacious, in Standard, Superior and Executive categories plus Suites, and all have wifi. Facilities include a restaurant, a bar, a fitness center, a business center and meeting rooms, and parking is available. Reception operates around the clock, which helps early and late arrivals. The property is now part of the Colombian GHL group and caters to business groups, events and budget-conscious visitors who want to be near the historic centre and the museums. It is not a design hotel, and travellers seeking modern interiors will find better options in Chapinero. Rates run roughly COP 260,000 to 450,000 per night (about USD 82 to 142), a considerable saving over the northern districts. The Centro Internacional area is busy on weekdays with offices and quiet in the evenings, and visitors are advised to take care after dark, using registered taxis or ride-hailing apps instead of walking. Monserrate offers panoramic views over the city and is easily reached from the hotel in daytime.
