I am looking for a hotel in Ciudad Kenndy in Bogota. Anyone have any names of hotels in that area that you have seen or tried?

mandotech says on Jul 27, 2009, 09:28: I have been to bogota many times. I am aware of the area. Ciudad Kennedy is where my fiance lives. Also puente aranda would be acceptable, or any where near the tranmilenio line from ciudad kennedy.

We get a simple straightforward request for information and it took about 15 comments to get to the point. Sure we know that Kennedy is not where we would stay but after a warning then come up with the information Mr. Bill Somondoco 0 funny, 1 helpful. |

christobeldawg says on Jul 27, 2009, 21:46: Hey Kat, I remember you are from Kennedy. I have spent alot of time in Suba. I know both areas are very large, but would you say they are somewhat similar, as far as safety. I have never actually been to Kennedy, but I would imagine it is, in general, similar to Suba. What is your thinking on that, as far as which you would consider more safe for foreigners, and in general? traveling hopefully is always better than arriving 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

christobeldawg says on Jul 27, 2009, 21:54: and, by the way, I know of no hotels in Suba. Motels, yes, which have a different connotation than in the US, but hotels, no. I like Suba, overall, and I said, it is huge, and not very far from downtown or the north, but I am curious how it compares to Kennedy, if anybody knows that area, which is equally huge. If I had to guess, I would say Kennedy is a bit more poor, and therefore, a bit more dangerous to foreigners, but I'm not sure on that. traveling hopefully is always better than arriving 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

kat1 (Moderator) (Trustee board) (☼Travelguide writer) says on Jul 28, 2009, 01:22: Kennedy goes from estrato 1 to 4, as Kennedy is the biggest area of Bogota, estrato 1 being Socorro or Britalia, estrato 4 around Las Americas. As i said Kennedy is dangerous but depends where you go, Bosa, Britalia, Roma I would not go there at night or around Corabastos, but Techo, Banderas, Catilla near Plaza de la Americas those areas are fine.
