Hotel Directory
Casa Medina
Atmospheric and full of character, this Bogotá hotel offers modern facilities with an Old World atmosphere. Located in a restored historic building, it feels more like a home than a hotel with roaring fires, thick rugs, timber-framed ceilings and leather armchairs. The king-size beds are enough to lose a weekend in, while its La Casa Restaurant offers fine dining in a country cottage setting.

Hotel de la Opera
Situated in two buildings next the Teatro Colon, the Hotel de la Opera is probably the best accommodation in La Candelaria. Housed in a wonderfully restored historic building, it has class, charm and character, and its rooftop restaurant offers great views over the old part of town. The hotel has 42 rooms, each decorated with Italian furniture, but the best have views over Plaza de Bolivar. Booking ahead is essential.

Hotel Abitare 56
While bedrooms give off a student dormitory vibe, the sleeping quarters at this budget choice are spotless. Rooms are bright and each of the 28 on offer comes with Wi-Fi, satellite TV and a private bathroom. Tucked away from the nearby bars and restaurants, this hotel also offers a little sanctuary from the buzz of central Bogotá.
Celebrities Suites
With contemporary touches and a modern palate of creams, whites and flashes of red, the Celebrities Suites could be modelled on a famous personality's own pad – if it weren't for the huge murals of superstars sitting above each bed. Each individually designed apartment comes themed around a superstar (think Brad Pitt or Beyonce) and is fully equipped with a kitchen, generous lounge area and beautiful bedroom. A flatscreen TV and Wi-Fi come as standard, while breakfast in bed with Brad is available on request.

Wyndham Hotel Bogota
While it may not look like a work of genius from the outside, behind the doors Wyndham Hotel Bogota flexes its creative muscles. Its 261 rooms are well-appointed and spacious with huge windows letting in plenty of light, but it's the blossoming of primary colours, mesmerising carpets and patterned wallpaper that make it such a pleasure to stay in. The steaks from the restaurant are more hearty than arty.

Portal de Oxum Hotel
Located in the financial district, Portal de Oxum Hotel is a short ride on the TransMilenio from the bustling nightlife of the Zona Rosa neighbourhood. Clean and overtly colourful, this hotel only has seven rooms, but each comes with Wi-Fi. Ask for a room away from the street for the best night's kip.

B.O.G. Hotel
Childish giggling over the name aside, B.O.G. Hotel is a gleaming luxurious masterpiece that's spared no expense over modern amenities, artistic strokes of creativity or lavish comfort. If you're not taken by the golden decoration or the emerald touches masterminded by Portuguese interior designer, Nini Andadre Silva, the 55 rooms will still wow with opulent queen-sized beds, huge TVs, hydro massage rain showers and deep spa baths. The rooftop infinity pool has some incredible views across the city too.
