Sitting in the ‘gourmet zone’ of Bogotá, the Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina is the perfect base from which to explore the sprawling capital of Colombia. The hotel is surrounded by dozen restaurants and bars, and just 20 minutes away, you’ll find La Candelaria, the city’s historic old town. The architecture of the Casa Medina is also one that entwines its history with a splash of contemporary Colombia, with rooms divided between the original 1940s building and an extension built in the 1980s. The original building is all about the charm of mid-century Colombia with original wood-panelling, handcrafted cedar wood doors and fireplaces in the one bedroom suites, but a renovation in 2015 infused it with contemporary comforts, like those leather armchairs and thermo-acoustic windows to keep the city noise to a minimum. The hotel is also home to a superb restaurant, Castanyoles, with a greenhouse atrium and a Spanish-influenced menu, while the spa is your classic Four Seasons wellness paradise with full body treatments, including locally inspired body scrubs and Columbian green coffee wraps.
