Hilton Bogota Corferias Opens in Colombia

Hilton Bogota Corferias opened as the first full-service hotel in Bogota, Colombia's fair and convention district. The 410-room property features more than 13,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including the largest terrace in the area that offers both indoor/outdoor space and mountain views.

“Colombia’s tourism industry continues to set records with a nine percent growth in visitor arrivals last year, maintaining a positive year over year momentum,” said Jorge Giannattasio, senior vice president and head of operations, Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton. “The market’s consistent growth paves the way for further tourism development and we are proud to play a significant role in this boom with the opening of our 20th hotel in the destination – Hilton Bogota Corferias. Hilton has been welcoming guests for nearly 100 years, and we are thrilled to continue extending our mission to be the world’s most hospitable company throughout this incredible country.”

Hilton Bogota Corferias forms part of the Corferias complex, spearheaded by the Chamber of Commerce of Bogota to promote industrial, commercial, social and cultural development in the region. Serving as the official hotel for the complex, the property boasts a contemporary design inspired by the city’s natural elements and landscape.

Overlooking the 10,341-foot Monserrate Hill, the hotel’s guest rooms each have floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of the city and natural light throughout the room.

The hotel amenities include:

Paying homage to Colombia’s culinary traditions, Hilton Bogota Corferias features three dining concepts that embrace Colombian culture and showcase locally sourced ingredients. Featuring an urban design with an open kitchen taking center stage, OKA Grill House and Four Eleven Bar offers a dynamic atmosphere with lounge seating inspiring social connectivity where guests can enjoy the tastes of Colombia’s authentic dishes, paired with options from an extensive wine list.

Guests on the go can stop by Bon Market and Bar, which offers a variety of grab-and-go items, including specialty sandwiches and salads. The Executive Lounge offers complimentary hot breakfast, evening refreshments and hors d'oeuvres.
