Modest isn’t a word you’d use to describe the W Hotel Bogota. It’s a shiny, amenity-studded hotel with luxurious features, from the 24-hour Whatever/Whenever service (which is exactly what it sounds like) to the state-of-the-art technology and beautiful décor in all of its 168 rooms and 34 suites. And the special twist on the quintessential W design model? W Hotel Bogota is inspired by the Colombian legend of El Dorado, which translates into lavish splashes of gold throughout the interiors. Eye-catching, indeed.

There are many reasons that the W does so well worldwide, and the Colombian outpost doesn’t disappoint. In fact, the hotel offers guests so much that – were the thrills of Bogota not beckoning beyond its impossibly shiny front doors – there would be virtually no reason to leave the hotel. Need a deep tissue massage? Float on up to the 300-square-metre Away® Spa. Got to check in with the office? Grab your briefcase and head to the WIRED Business Center. Fancy some market-to-table cuisine and an expertly mixed cocktail? Market Kitchen and the W Lounge are just an elevator ride away. Add to that the beguiling views out over Bogota’s skyline and a friendly, multilingual staff and you’ve got a recipe for a unforgettable city break in Colombia’s capital.
