BOGOTA, COLOMBIA—Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota will open in mid-October becoming the brand’s first opening in the Colombian capital, to be followed by Four Seasons Hotel Bogota in early 2016.
The residential-style hotel has retained the French and Spanish-influenced design details of artist and architect Santiago Medina Mejia’s original 1946 building, while technologies have been fully updated and modern luxuries added, according to Four Seasons. Sixty-two rooms and suites have been redecorated with features such as fireplaces or beamed ceilings.
An all-new dining concept will also be unveiled upon opening. Castanyoles Raciones y Tapas will be named for the traditional hand-held percussion instruments also known as castanets. With a wood-burning grill and Spanish tiles inside and a broad terrace beneath a new glass atrium outside, Castanyoles will serve a Spanish-influenced menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails, as well as offer gourmet items and Colombian coffee to go.
Additional features include a full-service spa retreat and 24-hour gym.
