Several events spaces are equipped to handle business and leisure gatherings with catering provided. There's also a tiny fitness center with a treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical machine, and free weights.Ī business center holds two computers and a printer for guests to use. Thermae Spa offers a full menu of services, including body, facial, and massage treatments, plus a sauna. Cushioned lounge chairs are available for relaxing poolside. The indoor pool isn't particularly large, but it's a bright, sunny space. Unfortunately, food only gets mixed reviews from previous guests. There's also a cozy bar called El Automatico, named after a famous Bogota coffee shop, that serves drinks and light fare. Room service is available around the clock.

The menu features pizzas, burgers, meat, and fish. A second restaurant, El Mirador, is located on the top floor and offers views over La Candelaria. A free breakfast buffet with cold selections and cooked-to-order eggs is served there daily. La Scala restaurant serves Mediterranean, Colombian, and vegetarian dishes in a lovely setting that includes a charming courtyard terrace where guests can dine alfresco. This little hotel offers a surprising number of features, particularly for its central location. Certain rooms also add balconies or terraces, and Art Deco rooms offer views of the Plaza de Bolivar, the domes of the cathedral, and Monserrate. Note that the elevator doesn't reach top-floor rooms. Some have just showers, and others feature shower/tub combos. Bathrooms have marble countertops, tiled floors and showers, toiletries, hairdryers, and robes and slippers. Unfortunately, there's no air-conditioning, and extras like the MP3 clock radios are outmoded. Standard features include flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, minibars, safes, and free Wi-Fi. These units are arguably more pleasant than the colonial-style rooms. The Art Deco-style rooms are located on the top floor of the adjacent building, which dates to the late 1940s.

The buildings in front of the San Carlos Palace hold 27 colonial-style rooms, with yellow walls, wood floors, wooden armoires, and traditional artwork and light fixtures. This historic hotel offers colonial- and Art Deco-style rooms, though the look isn't exactly the freshest or most elegant, and can appear dated.
