“My room was Old World charming with great bed, wifi and TV. The atmosphere from the age of the building and antique furnishings made you feel like you are in a different time period with Bogota to explore just outside your door. The staff were extraordinary! Carlos, Pancho, Marta and the attentive doormen made my stay personal, safe and comfortable.”

“The Orchids quickly became one of the best places I've ever stayed. The interior of the building really is gorgeous - decorated in a sumptuous way and filled with character, our room (A Midsummer Nights Dream) was amazing. High ceilings, four poster bed, soaking tub, it had everything you could have wanted. To finish the experience the staff were delightful; they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and looked after, and the made-to-order breakfast couldn't have been better. It was a faultless stay and I would thoroughly recommend visiting the hotel if you're staying in the city - don't bother with a faceless chain hotel, treat yourself to something special and you won't regret it.”

, United Kingdom
