Four Seasons Casa Medina

Bogotá


Easily the most interesting of Bogotá's two new Four Seasons hotels (the other is in Zona Rosa, both converted from previous hotels), this Zona G hotel occupies two historic mansions boasting Spanish colonial accents (beamed ceilings, original tiling) and a gorgeous sunlit breakfast room/bar with a lush vertical garden.

Four Seasons couldn't change much when it revamped the former Charleston Casa Medina in 2015, but rich hardwood flooring and leather-accented desks, nightstands and antiques in some rooms keep things historically luxurious. The in-house Spanish restaurant, Castanyoles, does a bang-up Sunday brunch with unlimited mimosas (COP$89,000).
