I set out in early 2025 to uncover the most luxurious hotel stays in South America. Having tried and tested some incredible hotels over the past 6 years, I’d never stayed at a Four Seasons hotel. The continent has only 5 Four Seasons properties, 2 of which are in Bogotá. Something about the Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá stood out to me.

Before I knew it, I had a stay confirmed, and I was quite literally counting down the days for my first-ever Four Seasons stay.

The Four Seasons brand evokes the refined, elegant, and understated luxury that I look for in hotels, so I couldn’t wait to experience it for myself.

Casa Medina Is the Perfect Spot for a Cozy Getaway

Colombia’s tropical status can be deceiving when you arrive in Bogotá, the country’s high-altitude capital.

With an altitude of 8,660 feet, the city hovers around a very mild 64 degrees Fahrenheit all year. The 3 times I’ve visited over the past 5 years, the weather was persistently grey and rainy. I’ve come to nickname Bogotá “Fall City.”

The exterior and interior of Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá reflect that autumnal feel. With the brick exterior and wooden features throughout, you could confuse it for a destination in Europe.

During my stay, the temperature dropped to a cool 46 F overnight. Having spent the past few months in tropical South America, the hotel was the ideal place to hunker down and escape the gloom outside.

It’s almost as if Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá was designed with this season in mind, as the whole vibe feels more like a cozy chalet in the mountains.

Luxurious Rooms Have a Classic, Cozy Charm

Opening the door to my first-ever room at a Four Seasons hotel is a moment I’ll never forget.

Stepping into my Executive Suite at Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá was like walking into a stately home in the British countryside. It was a slightly odd sensation, given I was so far away from the U.K. in a Latin American city.

Four Seasons Casa Medina Bogota room furniture — Rustic charm, but make it luxury.

The full name of the room category is “Executive Suite With Fireplace,” for good reason. This was the first time in my life that I’d had a fireplace in a hotel room.

Four Seasons Casa Medina in room fireplace — An essential for the “Fall City.”

It was sheer bliss to spend the evening cozied up with a book by the roaring log fire.

The main room featured a large king bed and a sofa seating area.

The sumptuously plump selection of pillows complemented the fireplace, elevating the coziness level to 100.

I was quite happy the weather was so bleak outside, so I could spend as much time as possible in this room.

I didn’t unpack, but this walk-in closet would have been more than enough space for me.

Four Seasons Casa Medina Bogota room wardrobes — Walk-in closet.

A spacious bathroom with a large shower led off from a door inside the walk-in closet.

It was stocked full of toiletries from premium Colombian brand Loto del Sur, as well as high-quality towels and facecloths.

The Hotel’s Boulevardier Speakeasy Is a Destination

I’m not really a drinker these days, but I couldn’t resist popping into the Boulevardier Speakeasy. It’s open to non-guests, too, and is a hidden gem in Bogotá.

Four Seasons Casa Medina Bogota Boulevardier — Welcome to Boulevardier.

To enter as a guest of the hotel, walk through the main restaurant, head outside, and you’ll find a stairway camouflaged by lush greenery.

Boulevardier prides itself on its whiskey collection, which includes several specialty labels, such as Mars Iwai, Kilchoman Machir, and Jura 12, among others. The skilled bar staff can whip up signature cocktails and other concoctions.

I arrived early evening while the bar was still quiet. A couple was on a romantic date, while a group of friends downstairs sipped whiskey. As the evening progressed, the space filled up, and the atmosphere was electric.

Even if you’re not staying at the Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá, I highly recommend paying a visit to Boulevardier. I know I’ll be back next time I’m in town.

Breakfast Is Decadent

Breakfast at Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá is worth setting an alarm clock for. The hotel’s classic elegance shone through once again in the main dining room.

The buffet area is far from the standard setup that you’d expect.

Stunning displays of cut fresh fruit were used as decorative features between dishes.

It wasn’t just the fruit: Even the cold cuts were folded and displayed artistically.

I was impressed by the wide variety of both cold and hot options.

Four Seasons Casa Medina Bogota healthy breakfast options — Colorful, healthy breakfast buffet.

It couldn’t possibly be a 5-star establishment without an à la carte menu, which I perused from my table tucked away in the corner.

Four Seasons Medina Bogota breakfast restaurant — Breakfast time.

Even though it wasn’t on the menu, I was able to order my staple egg-white omelette.

I wanted to make the most of my last morning at the hotel, and I didn’t want to leave the sumptuous pillows until I had to check out. Breakfast in bed made that possible.

I ordered a plate of fresh fruit, a classic egg white omelet with a side of potatoes, and a pot of coffee. It was delivered within 20 minutes and was of the same excellent quality as I had enjoyed at the buffet the morning before.

Service Is Impeccable

My expectations were highest regarding service. I’ve stayed in plenty of 5-star hotels before, but I had a feeling that Four Seasons would take it to the next level. I wasn’t wrong.

The rainy night that I decided to stay in, I mentioned it to reception and was asked if I wanted them to light a fire. Up to this point, I’d assumed the fireplace was for decoration. Within minutes, a member of the team arrived at my door with a trolley of logs to start a fire for me.

Four Seasons Casa Medina Bogota fireplace lighting — If only I’d have thought about this the first night.

I love a turndown service, as it’s a great way to see what small, thoughtful gestures a hotel might come up with to differentiate itself from the rest. At Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá, along with the standard bottle of water you’d expect, I came back to my room one evening to find a postcard.

On the front was a picture of a typical Colombian dish, and on the back was the recipe. There was also a Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá bookmark left for me on the first night. For me, it’s small things like this that leave a lasting impression for all the right reasons.

Four Seasons Medina Bogota turndown gifts — I’m looking forward to making my first Calentao.

From the check-in team and wait staff to the bellman whisking my case into the hotel, it was abundantly clear that each member of the team had been hand-picked to work at such a prestigious hotel brand.

It’s One of the Best Value Four Seasons Hotels

The level of luxury synonymous with the Four Seasons brand usually comes with a price tag to match. However, a stay at Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogotá doesn’t have to break the bank.

Looking ahead to next fall, you’d pay $590 per night for a 2-night stay in October 2026. Rates are lower than usual thanks to the Bogotá Getaway offer of 20% off when booking directly with Four Seasons.
