Lounges in Bogotá

Usaquén is Bogotá's most charming colonial village entertainment and lounge district — a former colonial town incorporated into the expanding city where beautifully preserved whitewashed colonial houses have been converted to outstanding cafés, cocktail lounges, and restaurants creating an extraordinary heritage atmosphere. Usaquén's remarkable Sunday flea market (one of Colombia's most beloved outdoor markets) and its outstanding independent hospitality establishments create lounges of genuine Bogotá colonial heritage significance.

Criterión is Bogotá's most acclaimed luxury restaurant and cocktail lounge — a Zona Rosa institution consistently ranked among the best restaurants in Latin America and recognized in the World's 50 Best Restaurants extended list. The restaurant's extraordinary French-Colombian cuisine and its sophisticated cocktail lounge create a dining and drinks experience of considerable Colombian gastronomic significance in a city rapidly emerging as one of South America's most important culinary destinations.

Hotel Casa Medina in Bogotá is the most elegant historic boutique hotel in Colombia — a spectacular 1946 Spanish colonial revival mansion on Carrera 7 that has been designated a Colombian National Monument, housing one of Bogotá's most beautiful and atmospheric cocktail lounges within its extraordinary interior courtyards and vaulted corridors. The hotel's remarkable architectural preservation and its extraordinary position as the finest historic hotel in Colombia create a lounge of genuine Colombian luxury hospitality heritage significance.

Bogotá's rooftop cocktail lounge scene offers extraordinary 360-degree views over a metropolis of 10 million people at 2,640 meters above sea level — a highland city where the spectacular Andean mountain backdrop, the extraordinary urban density, and the remarkable cultural transformation of recent decades create rooftop lounge experiences of considerable Colombian urban significance. Bogotá's remarkable altitude (the third highest capital city in the world) and its extraordinary contemporary art scene create rooftop lounges with a genuine sense of being above the clouds.
