Colonial elegance in a modern metropolis

The business sector is particularly well catered for here. With four fully equipped event spaces and the flexibility to host cocktail receptions and mixology classes in suites and the outdoor grounds, the hotel mixes business and pleasure with admirable panache.
If you’re in town for meetings or leisure, you will be drawn to the rustic earth-toned furnishings, spacious suites and sweeping passages that invite you to wind back the clock in style.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The warm interiors and cozy rooms are a beautiful — and much needed — contrast to Bogota’s corporate-looking landscape.
- Bogota can be a nightmare to navigate, so location really is everything. Fortunately, Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota just happens to be in Rosales, the city’s most desirable urban district.
- Forget the uninspiring breakfast buffet found in other business hotels. Here you wake to a truly delicious deli bar where you can order fluffy eggs, waffles and pancakes off the menu.
- Don't miss one of the spa's locally inspired body scrubs. Perk up with a Columbian Green Coffee Wrap or wind down with a fragrant Citrus Paradise cellulite reducing treatment.
