Hotel is the Second Crowne Plaza by Sociedad Hotelera Tequendama with IHG in Colombia

One of the most experienced hotel companies in Latin America, announces the opening of the Crowne Plaza Suites Tequendama Bogotá, located adjacent to the iconic, 573-room Crowne Plaza Tequendama Bogotá. 

Both properties are owned by Sociedad Hotelera Tequendama.

The 30 story, 271-suite Crowne Plaza Suites Tequendama Bogotá is located at the International Center Tequendama, a mixed-use building featuring meetings facilities, offices and apartments.

 It is just minutes from downtown and the financial district, modern shopping malls, gourmet restaurants and cultural attractions. 

The property is also located just 20 minutes from El Dorado International Airport.

The hotel, which was a conversion from an independent property, underwent an extensive renovation and features two well-designed, spacious suite options (deluxe and executive club), ranging from 580 square feet to 1,000 square feet. 

All suites have breathtaking views of the city’s skyline and include a living room with a sofa-bed, a dining room table, a fully-equipped kitchenette and a highly-functional work station with wireless Internet access.

The Crowne Plaza Suites Tequendama features rich marble and wood decor, along with a variety of amenities, including a spa facility, health and fitness center, business center, four restaurants and an indoor pool. 

The new property also boasts three meeting rooms on the 30th floor that can accommodate up to 700 people.

“We are thrilled to open a second IHG property with Sociedad Hotelera Tequendama and we look forward to continuing to work with them and flourishing our business relationship,” said Alvaro Diago, COO, IHG, Latin America and Caribbean.

“The new Crowne Plaza Suites Tequendama complements the existing Crowne Plaza Tequendama by providing more rooms and meeting space to an area of Bogota that is in high demand from travellers and meeting planners,” said Ricardo Lopez, vice president, Sales and Marketing, IHG, Latin America and Caribbean. 

“With both properties, there are now 800 rooms, all offering an upscale experience, affording the brand a competitive advantage among meetings and business travelers who are looking for not only a comprehensive meetings program, but also generous amenities, a great location and high level of comfort.”

The Crowne Plaza hotels offer a signature comprehensive meetings program that ensures a seamless planning process and exceptional meeting experience consisting of three key components : a Two-Hour Response Guarantee, a Crowne Meetings Director and a Daily Meetings Debrief.

Consistent with the Crowne Plaza brand, the hotel features the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage® that encompasses the entire sleep experience, from training staff on how to create and maintain a restful environment to providing innovative products and services. 

Program components include signature bedding, guaranteed wake-up calls, designated quiet zones and aromatherapy.
