Two restored colonial and republican houses joined together on Calle 10, next door to the Teatro Colon and a block from Plaza de Bolivar. The rooftop restaurant looks across the tiled roofs of La Candelaria toward Monserrate.
Hotel de la Opera is at Calle 10 No. 5-72 in La Candelaria, the historic centre of Bogota, Colombia. It stands next door to the Teatro Colon and a block from Plaza de Bolivar, so the Capitolio Nacional, the cathedral and the Gold Museum are all within a short walk. The Monserrate funicular is a short taxi ride away. Streets in the centre are busy on weekdays and quieter at night, and visitors typically use taxis or ride apps after dark.
The hotel consists of two restored colonial and republican houses joined together, and the combination gives it a distinctive layout of courtyards, stairways and rooms of different sizes. Room categories reflect the two buildings, with Colonial Rooms and Republican Rooms alongside Junior Suites and a Master Suite. Each room has its own shape and character, in contrast to the uniform rooms of modern hotels.
The rooftop restaurant is the main attraction for dining, looking across the tiled roofs of La Candelaria toward Monserrate, and a bar serves drinks in the evening. Wellness facilities are unusual for a heritage hotel, including a spa, a sauna and a small indoor pool. Wifi is available throughout.
Service is attentive and suited to leisure travellers, with a concierge and parking, which is valuable in the crowded old town. Rates run from about COP 420,000 to COP 750,000 per night (roughly USD 133 to 238), making it one of the better mid-priced heritage stays in the centre. The historic setting means some rooms are small or irregular, and street noise can reach lower floors, so visitors who prefer quiet may ask for an upper room. The hotel is well placed for museums, theatre evenings and walking tours of the old town.
