luxury hotels in bogota

Try these
I think the Radisson on the Northside is the best luxury place - Super secure, nice rooms, decent restaurant, friendly English speaking staff. Goes for about $130/night. Also has an indoor pool and workout area and a guy playing the piano in the lobby. Internet.

La Fontana Near Unicentro in the north is also supposed to be very expensive. The staff speak English too.

Hotels Have stayed at all three of the hotels recommended: The Radisson Royal Bogotá, Casa Medina and La Fontana. You cannot go wrong with either. They each have a unique personality.

The Radisson is very secure,quiet, across the street from an upscale shopping mall Hacienda Santa Barbara and Usaquen (bohemian district) and within walking distance of the best hospital, Fundacion Santa Fe de Bogotá.

La Fontana is very nice and secure and is located directly across the street from Unicentro shopping mall. A little more active than the others. Also within walking distance of the exclusive Country Club de Bogotá.

Casa Medina has personality plus. The hotel is secure and close to the business district. You will find many business types staying here.

I would be hard pressed to choose between these three. It would depend on the activities you have planed for the trip.

ws244 Better yet find a nice Colombian wife and get your own apartment, somewhere around Unicentro and Hacienda Santa Barbara malls. Near La fontana and the Radisson hotels. La fontana is across the street from unicentro mall, the largest in Bogota. On sunday they have a service in the hotel courtyard which has a little church, and flea market afterward. The internet at the La fontana is free if you bring your own laptop, while the Radission is free period. As stated the Radisson is across from the Hacienda Santa Barbara mall. Take an umbrella as it rains almost every day about noon or thereafter. The temperature is 75 at most during the day and 45-50 at night.

How about for a longer stay I'm planning on being in Bogota for a couple 4 week stretches, would that change anyone's opinion of a good hotel to stay in? Any comments about the Park House or Hotel Charleston?

Thanks!

La Fontana We have stayed here for a month at least three different times. You can get a better rate if you are staying a full month. There are actually three separate operations at the La Fontana facility. Each one offers a slightly different package. The more expensive is the one offered by the hotel itself.

Hotel Charleston I stayed at the Hotel Charleston for a week in 2003. It was great! My reservation was originally for the Casa Medina, their sister hotel but got changed at the last minute due to plumbing repairs. I didn't regret it. The Charleston is in a comfortable neighborhood with a variety of restaurants, shops, malls, grocery store in walking distance. Their own restaurant is very good and the staff were friendly and very helpful. They have a small business center where you can go online for no charge. One caution I would make is to be careful walking back after dark. Several homeless people camped out on the sidewalk by the corner at the intersection. The hotel is only a short distance up but it was dark enough that a friend and I had to make sure we weren't stepping on someone in the dark. Enjoy!
