Hotel de la Opera

Beautiful old villa in the heart of Calanderia. Our room had a lovely balcony looking out over the theatre and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Service was accommodating, with no problem checking in off our flight at 04:30. They even gave us a packed breakfast to take to the airport. Great value and location for the main tourist sights.

We found this jewel on a previous trip and upon returning we decided to stay. The hotel has a great feel and has a privileged location a couple of blocks from Old Bogota Center Square. Built using two houses from the colonial and republican era this hosted is full of charm. We stayed at the Eco wing, the other is the colonial wing and the view from our window was superb. The room was spacious, although a little short on closet space but that no issue. As for the staff, very friendly and always available without being intrusive. The current concierge is charming and always available to answer questions and provide information.One big detail that surprised us was when we asked Edwin where can we find an exchange place. He not only gave us the location but offered to have a staff member to escort us. When was the last time that happened to you? |The hotel has a very nice and breakfast is included. |The location of the hotel is privileged to explore the city and its charms. Recommendation always verify the times because not always what you find posted is what they abide with. Security is tight around the hotel due to the fact that the Chancillery is across the walkway, which is a huge plus.

It was horrible. Even 3 star hotels can't afford this. Very dirty. The rooms haven't been updated for decades. Look at my photos. The water in the shower is barely warm. No soundproofing. The breakfasts are terrible and the service at these breakfasts is like at a 1 star hotel.

Very well located hotel - art deco rooms are very spacious and mine had a lovely view over La Candelaria (Room 701). Spa area is relaxing and the treatments are good. ||Breakfast was average, the bar wasn’t open while I was there and the restaurant offer is limited (although there’s a lot of choice in the area).

Really lovely hotel. I had a great stay here. The staff was super helpful, the breakfast was very tasty, and everything was more than I could have asked for. There was hot water in the showers and free wifi! Comfortable bed and quiet. I did get there early so could not check into my room but they watched my bag until the room was ready. I saw some other comments about the staff not speaking English and I just disagree. We are guests in their country and if you can't take the time to learn some basic Spanish then at least know you can use Google translate to communicate with them. I do not think the onus should be on the staff; it is on us as guests to be good visitors. I know rudimentary Spanish and I think they appreciated my attempt to be understood. The hotel is really well located and would totally stay there again.

It was great to stay in the hotel. Staff was very kind and helpful. My check-in was afternoon but they let me leave my bag at 6am so I didn't carry it on with me while walking on Bogota.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience for our wedding reception and stay than at Hotel de la Opera in Bogotá. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—attentive, professional, and always warm. The hotel itself is stunning, blending colonial charm with modern amenities, making it the perfect setting for our special day. The wedding reception was nothing short of magical. The team at the hotel worked closely with us to ensure every detail was perfect, from the elegant ballroom décor to the exquisite catering. Our guests were blown away by the quality of the food and the seamless execution of the event. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of, and we felt like we were truly treated as royalty. As for our stay, the rooms were beautiful, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with a great view of the surrounding historic neighborhood. The bed was perfect for unwinding after a long day of celebrations, and the breakfast each morning was a wonderful start to the day. The location of Hotel de la Opera couldn’t be better—right in the heart of Bogotá’s charming La Candelaria district, with easy access to cultural sites and local attractions. We took a few moments to explore and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of the area. Overall, our wedding and stay at Hotel de la Opera exceeded every expectation. It was the ideal choice for our big day, and we’re incredibly grateful for the exceptional service and unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a beautiful venue and a memorable stay in Bogotá. Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day so special!

Well located hotel - colonial style rooms and also art deco. Some of the art deco rooms have great views across the city. Pool (for relaxation not exercise), steam room and sauna. Can have spa treatments too. Reception and concierge staff helpful.
