A national monument built in 1945 by Santiago Medina Mejia from salvaged colonial stonework and hand-carved beams, now a 62-room Four Seasons in Zona G. Every room differs, and the glass-roofed Castanyoles restaurant occupies the original central courtyard.
Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina occupies Avenida Carrera 7 No. 69A-22 in Zona G, in the Chapinero Alto area of Bogota, Colombia. Carrera 7 is one of the city's main north-south axes, and Zona G, known for its concentration of high-end restaurants, is within easy walking distance. The financial district around Calle 72 and the boutique streets of Quinta Camacho are also close, and the Carrera 7 TransMilenio corridor runs nearby.
The building is a national monument, constructed in 1945 by Santiago Medina Mejia from salvaged colonial stonework and hand-carved beams. It now operates as a 62-room Four Seasons, and its character is the main reason visitors choose it: no two rooms are identical, and details such as stone arches, timber ceilings and fireplaces recall the colonial style rather than a standard chain design. Room categories include Superior and Deluxe Rooms, the Casa Medina Suite and a Penthouse Suite.
Dining is anchored by Castanyoles, a restaurant set under a glass roof in the original central courtyard, and a bar serves drinks in the evening. Breakfast is a standard highlight for guests staying on the property, and room service is available. A spa and a fitness center provide wellness facilities, though the hotel has no large resort-style pool.
Service follows Four Seasons standards, with a concierge team, valet parking and a business center for work travel. Rates run from about COP 1,200,000 to COP 2,400,000 per night (roughly USD 381 to 762). The hotel suits travellers who value heritage architecture and a walkable, restaurant-rich neighbourhood over modern high-rise amenities. Visitors are advised to use hotel taxis or ride apps at night when leaving the immediate district.

When to visit
The drier months of December to March and July to August are best for walking the surrounding streets. Weekday evenings suit quieter dining in Zona G.
Accessibility
As a heritage building, some corridors, stairs and room layouts may be less step-free than in a modern hotel. Visitors with mobility needs should confirm accessible room options with the hotel in advance.
