Your hotel in Bogotá

The capital of Colombia, Santafé de Bogotá, more commonly known as Bogotá, will charm you in many ways. The landscape offered by the high mountains surrounding it is breathtaking: Guadalupe at over 3,320 m and Monserrate at 3,200 m proudly dominate the city. The savannah, or Sabana, of the Eastern Cordillera is the garden of all Colombia, with plantations of every kind: coffee, varieties of flowers, plantains, wheat, cassava and much more.

La Candelaria and its centre are a real tourist attraction. Located in the heart of the city and its historic district, La Candelaria is home to colonial buildings converted into museums, narrow streets, a host of events and Plaza Bolívar. This square once hosted sumptuous festivities, markets, bullfights and also masses. Continue your discovery of the capital along Avenida Jiménez, a must during your stay in Bogotá. You will witness emerald trading in the open air, with the stalls of the esmeralderos, the emerald merchants. A real treat for the eyes and ears. Resolutely focused on tourism and culture, Santafé de Bogotá is home to more than fifty museums, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the Museo del Oro, with thousands of gold objects, 36,000 artefacts, figurines and tableware. A pleasure to share with family or friends.

And if you like to get off the beaten track, take a few excursions around Santafé de Bogotá to visit the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, rightly considered the eighth wonder of the world. The quintessence of art and engineering, the cathedral subtly plays with light and shadow alongside its sculptures. Built directly into the wall of the mine, 200 metres underground, this site dazzles with its technical prowess and beauty.
