The stately main entrance to the Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina, once an aristocrat’s residence in the 1940s.

In the front entry, original plaster walls, brick, and a winding staircase are enhanced with a custom candlelit iron chandelier, a colorful rug that reinterprets a traditional design, and contemporary art.

A carved wooden wall backs and cantilevers over the locally crafted ornate and asymmetrical wood reception desk, while a newly added window offers a glimpse into the courtyard.

Contemporary furniture and a blue and white rug complement the reception lobby’s original elements.

 The city’s lush greenery is on view from a guestroom’s intimate desk alcove, featuring a throw with the word “Chusco,” a commonly used expression in Bogotá meaning cute.

A corner suite’s original beamed ceiling and fireplace get new life thanks to additions like hand-embroidered pillows, beige drapery, and a diamond-patterned throw rug.

White bedding and lampshades juxtapose original handcarved wood paneling in a suite bedroom.

A seating area with a tufted linen sofa at Castanyoles restaurant is backed by a cascading wall of rainforest-inspired greenery.
