Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina, Colombia

Overview

Nestled in the elegant Zona G neighborhood, Four Seasons Casa Medina is housed in a restored neoclassical mansion built in 1946, a structure declared a national historic monument. Designed by architect Santiago Medina Mejía, the hotel preserves original colonial features – stone columns, carved doors, wrought-iron railings – while offering modern Four Seasons service and quiet luxury. The leafy sidewalk terrace and courtyard garden give a residential feeling rare at this scale, making the hotel feel like a private home in the cultural heart of Bogotá.

Inside, each of the 62 rooms and 19 suites is completely unique, featuring hand-carved wooden furnishings, beamed ceilings, marble-clad bathrooms, and original antiques salvaged from local convents. Club-level accommodations include fireplaces, balconies, and sumptuous spa-style whirlpool baths; meanwhile the Penthouse and Executive suites offer expansive layouts with living and dining areas ideal for longer-term stays. With thermo-acoustic windows and custom-designed beds, its sense of comfort is both refined and deeply Colombian.

Beyond its architecture, the hotel’s standout strength is its intimate cultural connection: breakfast features Colombian coffee tastings, La Bodega and Castanyoles restaurants serve Spanish-style tapas with local flavours, and the gemstone-inspired Emerald Spa includes lush hydrotherapy pools surrounded by tropical greenery. With staff who remember your name and anticipate your needs, Casa Medina is quietly graceful yet richly grounded in place.
