Colombia’s emeralds inspire Four Seasons Bogota
Four Seasons has opened a hotel in Bogota, Colombia that takes its design inspiration from the surrounding mountains.
The 64-bedroom Four Seasons Hotel Bogota includes a spa with five treatment rooms, including an oversized couple’s suite, as well as relaxation lounges, steamrooms and a spa shop. The spa menu features facials, massages and body treatments using skincare brand Biologique Recherche and Colombian spa brand Loto del Sur. Signature treatments include the Emerald Body Wrap, using mineral-rich mud from the country’s emerald-producing regions.
The hotel also includes a 24-hour fitness centre with cardio machines and weight training from Matrix, or guests can rent bicycles to partake in the ciclovia in the cycle-friendly city.
Houston, Texas-based Rottet Studio created the design aesthetic for the Four Seasons Hotel Bogota, drawing inspiration from the mountains surrounding the city. Pattern, texture and craftsmanship combine in the lobby, where wooden screens form airy “walls” that climb up across the ceiling. Accents of rich green are designed to reference Colombia’s emeralds.
Rooms feature custom-made beds framed by dark leather headboards and paneling, paired with pale floors of locally-sourced hardwood. Colombian materials, furnishings, finishes and artwork feature throughout the hotel, along with local artwork by Pablo Tomayo, Alicia Garavito and José Antonio Suárez Londoño. A custom-designed, hand-beaded installation made in traditional styling spanning 40 feet (15 metres) is the backdrop for the Biblioteca restaurant.
“Bogota is having its moment on the global stage, and Four Seasons is thrilled to be part of it as we welcome both world travellers and local guests,” said Luis Argote, general manager.
