Colombia, South America Managed by GHL Hoteles


BOSTON, March 8, 2011 -- Sonesta Collection announced today the opening of its third hotel in Colombia, the 126-room Sonesta Hotel Bogota. This full-service hotel is located in the midst of business, shopping, restaurants and cultural attractions in Bogota. The hotel is located at Carrera 15A #127-03, adjacent to METRO 127 on Carretera, and adjoins a shopping arcade. This hotel, and its sister properties in Barranquilla and Valledupar, Colombia; Peru; and Chile are all branded Sonesta Hotels and managed by Colombia based GHL Hoteles.

"We are excited to bring another full-service business class hotel to our collection in South America -- especially one with such a modern and contemporary design," said Stephanie Sonnabend, president and chief executive officer for Sonesta. "The city of Bogota is one of the most dynamic cities in Latin America, a wonderful new addition to the Sonesta Collection."

Fun, modern and sophisticated, the new Sonesta Hotel Bogota was designed by architect Alvaro Calderon Ruiz. One of the most unique features of the hotel is the "vertical garden", encompassing an entire wall of live plants in the lobby. The hotel offers 126 guest rooms, a full service business center, restaurant, room service, 24-hour concierge service, WiFi throughout the hotel, and 2,600 square feet of meeting and event space. The hotel is conveniently attached to the newest shopping arcade and restaurants in the neighborhood, and is across the street from the Unicentro Mall.
