Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in Colombia

Vacations in Colombia 

 This gateway to South America acts like something of a spectacular tick-box for what travelers expect from the continent. What’s in store? Coasts on the southern Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, the snow-capped Andes running north-south and great swathes of rainforest; indigenous Mesoamerican heritage stretching back 12,000 years replete with lost cities and archaeological curiosities; and the modern country having emerged from the relatively more recent activities of conquistadors and colonizers with a multi-cultural diversity and vibrancy. Our luxury hotels in Colombia invite you to experience it all. 

Diverse is certainly the word: Colombia’s varied territory sits at a crossroads of Latin American countries, sharing parts of the Pacific coast with Panama and Ecuador; the Amazon rainforest with Venezuela, Brazil, Peru and Ecuador; and the Andes with Ecuador and Venezuela. From its mountains and volcanoes to its great plains, grasslands and deserts, it’s truly a natural wonder that invites exploration. Add to that the humming sprawl of its high-altitude capital, Bogotá, and other major cities including Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla and Cartagena that mix modern, multi-cultural energy with historical charm, and travel in Colombia makes for an exhilarating experience. 

History and modernity mix: our best luxury hotels in Colombia 

 Take the pulse of the country from our luxury hotels in Colombia: think Moorish-inspired palaces, built in times of earlier splendor, with painted ceilings and carved stone windows, shady courtyards and palm trees waving in the warm breeze. Feel transported to an earlier era in city-center accommodation secreted amid charming historical streets. Discover modern interpretations of Colombia’s rustic charm, where double-height ceilings feature slowly turning ceiling fans and indigenous fabrics conjure the heritage and romance of the region. Outside, refresh yourself in inviting swimming pools, or walk amid exotic gardens full of aromatic, vividly colored tropical blooms. 

The vibrant flavors of our fine dining restaurants in Colombia  

Colombia’s multi-cultural culinary heritage makes for flavorful combinations of ingredients and dishes that fuse the best parts of different gastronomic traditions. Our fine dining restaurants in Colombia are led by talented chefs who pay tribute to the unique terroir, creating delicious, contemporary takes on the country’s delightful staples and combining Spanish, Arabian and African influences with indigenous flavors. Discover gourmet interpretations on ancestral Colombian ingredients, from cassava to coconut, palm hearts to hibiscus. Our gastronomic restaurants in Colombia pride themselves on sourcing local products, ensuring their menus are always fresh, seasonal and tell an authentic story about their culinary heritage. The country’s two coastlines ensure there’s plentiful fish and seafood. 

Adventures in the Andes and the Amazon, all from our hotels in Colombia 

 Guests at our luxury hotels in Colombia benefit from helpful concierges who can help plan your trip, depending on your preferences and appetite for adventure. Whether you prefer to explore the streets of its towns and cities, want to get out into nature or really push the envelope with adventures in the high peaks of the mountains or the heart of the Amazon rainforest, we’ll be able to advise on how to make the best of your time here. Guided tours, local experts, transport and suggestions of where to shop and eat will immerse you in Colombia’s urban life, or perhaps you prefer to set off on your own into Colombia’s unspoiled nature or want to spot its unique wildlife–in which case our staff will suggest routes and offer advice on what to see. 

Maybe adventure is not quite what you had in mind? Chilling by the pool, enjoying treatments from our luxury spa hotels in Colombia or enjoying the best local beaches and watersports are always options, especially for couples looking for a romantic getaway in Colombia.  

Relais & Châteaux in Colombia: at the heart of our communities 

 Our hotels in Colombia, just like every hotel and restaurant in our global Association, are all independently owned, mostly by families whose passion for hospitality stretches back generations. It’s an approach that ensures every property is unique, and the smaller nature of our establishments ensures a more intimate style of hospitality that’s warm, sincere and always welcoming. Because our property owners are so embedded in their local community, they are also important hubs, employing the local population–again, sometimes for generations–and also sourcing food, drink and other resources from within the local economy. It means our luxury hotels in Colombia are often on first-name terms with suppliers who share our values. 

Eco-hotels in Colombia: protecting the environment for future generations 

 With the Amazon rainforest on their doorstep, our boutique hotels in Colombia care deeply about their surroundings, maintaining their own grounds organically and participating in wider projects to protect, preserve and restore nature wherever possible. This is a crucial part of Relais & Châteaux’s values that conveys our approach to responsible travel in Colombia and also many of our guests’ priorities for sustainable holidays in Colombia. We can’t wait to welcome you.
