Grand Hyatt Bogota

5/5

This review is for family travelers!!! Bogota may not be the top of list for family travelers but we decided to come here for a family holiday for new years 2024 (2kids 8/10 yrs). Why? Just to visit south america and home of Gabriel García Márquez ☺️ The grand hyatt bogota is good in many ways : the rooms are good, the SPA/swimming pool are awesome, it’s close to the airport (12 mins), and the services are good. The only potential downside is the location, it’s a bit far to all the restaurants/places we want to go: the Zona G, la candelaria, the usaquen, etc. We always have to take a uber to any of those places and it’s usually a 15-25 min drive away. It’s not super inconvenient and okay for us. We made sure to go out in off hours so haven’t stuck in traffic. It also means we didn’t go out at night and mostly stayed in hotel in the evenings. That’s when the Spa and swimming pool proved its value. There are some restaurants nearby, a crepe & waffles is just 8 mins walk away and just a few minutes there are good fried chicken place and the first floor bakery has very good pastries. So that made the stay inside hotel totally ok for us. Hotels inside the Zona G should be more convenient for walking to restaurants and places. But they won’t have the SPA /swimming pool that we had spent a lot of time to relax during this laid back family holiday. Overall it was the right choice for our purpose. Highly recommended this hotel if you have older kids who will be okay for multiple daily car rides to places. Things to improve at the hotel: the breakfast could be better; some basic breakfast items like beacon and good bread are missing. The hot food section is really not good. You can order omelette waffles and pancakes but the waiters didn’t tell us and we had to figure it out from looking at others table. The breakfast could also have more variety since we stayed six nights and it gets boring if breakfasts are all the same things.
