Colombia’s emeralds inspire Four Seasons Bogota

by Jane Kitchen | 26 Apr 2016

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.

Houston, Texas-based Rottet Studio created the design aesthetic, 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.
