Bogota, Colombia

Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota

There is a distinctly mountain-house character to this address in Bogotá, expressed through a particularly polished take on rusticity. Stone gives the exterior its weight; inside, timber takes over. It runs from the wood-panelled lobby and its monumental staircase, hung with tapestries, to the Colonial One Bedroom Suite, where the panelling and dark wood take on an almost medieval character. It is an interior language that suits a city perched so high above sea level. The suites keep to a quieter register, their warmth and restraint set against the exuberance of Castanyoles. Behind its glass walls and among its abundant greenery, dinner moves through tapas and small plates, with the garden-like setting providing a rather lively counterpoint. At Boulevardier, the hour dictates the drink: a Cho-Wa, delicate with tea notes, earlier in the day; a Royal Salute Gun 62 and a cigar as evening settles in. All of it, naturally, best enjoyed beside the ever-burning fireplace.

Accommodations

What we like

The design

The almost medieval charm of the Colonial One Bedroom Suite's woodwork.

The cocktail

For a change of pace, try the Boulevardier's New Fashioned – walnut liqueur and chocolate.

The moment

Fittingly for Colombia, the spa's Amazonian cacao ritual prolongs the indulgence.
