  • The bathroom was super luxurious. I appreciated that they had a deep bath tub and a separate shower room. 6
  • In the 10-story glass hotel, the 25 suites are easily the most impressive. They are outfitted with a large sitting area, a spacious work desk with an ergonomic chair, a large marble bathroom with a textured gold mirror and a bathtub. 20

  • The location of the JW Bogota can't be beat. It's within walking distance to 93rd Street Park and the coveted Zona G gastronomy district. 20
  • The location is truly perfect for both business and leisure travelers. 3

Room

  • The bed was obviously the focal point of the room - and it made a bold statement. Decked out in black and gold with a cool fabric headboard that ran underneath the bed as support and up to the ceiling, the whole look was impressive. The best part was that it was not only trendy and fun but practical and comfortable at the same time. 4
  • There's also a Club Lounge on the 9th floor, which exceeded my expectations. Also my room was on the 10th floor and had an excellent view of the city. 6

Service

  • Returning to the JW Marriott Hotel Bogota, especially since my daughters were so eager to come back, really highlights just how impressive the service is here. Once again, it truly stood out as top-notch. 3
  • Lounge is decent, has a nice balcony, and breakfast is best downstairs. Staff is A+ 15

Bed & Sleep

  • The bed had a height that would probably not fit standard deep-pocket sheets. It was tall, plush and comfortable. The bed offered great sleep at night. 13
  • Bed was comfortable - plush mattress, plush pillows, and plush covers 10

Value

read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • The JW Marriott Hotel Bogota stands out as one of the city's most luxurious hotels, providing comfortable accommodations with premium rates to match. 3
  • The prices were also surprisingly cheap. A beer at most Marriott bars will set you back eight dollars or more. 13

Food37 mentions · 2 filmed
  • W Bogota - very comfortable, breakfast needs improvement 19
  • Guests can visit the lounge at any time of day for snacks, refreshments, and coffee, although it is fully staffed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, in my experience, breakfast downstairs at The Market offered more variety. 3
  • Room service at the JW Marriott Bogota runs 24 hours - the in-room menu covers mains, snacks, and drinks. I used it once and it was prompt and well-presented. 6
  • The Fantastic Suite was lovely, and the building's hard design elements were on point, as was much of the soft product in the form of food and service. 1
  • Artisan DC - great breakfast, but billing nonsense 19
  • The Market Kitchen was the only restaurant at the W Bogotá, and was open for buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast was 45,000 Colombian pesos (~$15) per person, and consisted of a fantastic spread. 4
  • Breakfast was super solid - extensive choices 10
  • A combination of tastefully decorated guest rooms with premium bedding, a wide selection of exquisite dining options, including a renowned restaurant, and a world-class spa will ensure a unique and memorable stay that will delight even the most discerning travellers. 5
  • In the morning, the open-kitchen restaurant offers an extensive buffet breakfast featuring a variety of Colombian and international dishes. I particularly loved the beef broth soup with short rib. 3
  • Circo Terraza, which literally translates to Circus Terrace, is a charming open-air restaurant situated just a few feet from The Market. You can order delicious wood-fired thin-crust pizzas topped with an array of imaginative ingredients. 3
  • Pros - Amazing hotel gym, I've always been upgraded to the Fantastic Suite which is amazing, great breakfast buffet in the restaurant, I've had rates as low as $89 USD. 12
  • The service in the bar was slow at times, but the food was good. 13
  • The lounge sits on a high floor with sweeping city views. Multiple seating areas, a stocked fridge, and a proper evening cocktail hour with hot Colombian food. 6
  • Circo is the pizza restaurant. Casual, family-friendly, and the pizza holds up - we had lunch there and I'd happily go back. 6
  • I did spend some time in the Executive Lounge, where I ate breakfast most days. I liked the coffee machine which made a killer mocha (although exceedingly small in size). 13
  • Salad, cold cuts and a large pastry selection were also available - the yucca bread was spectacular and unlike any bread I'd ever tasted. 4
  • overall the food tasted good for the basic food that it was knowing i'd be up long before breakfast service though i also ordered a ham and cheese sandwich to put in the fridge just in case i wanted something super early in the morning On camera213:11
  • While there are literally hundreds of restaurants and dining options within a 10-minute walk of the hotel, the on-site options are excellent if you choose to stay in. 3
  • Evening options are a small dinner, though, I already ate - good Mac and cheese 10
  • why eat that trash in the hotel when such good food is easy to get in that city. 8
  • when they wanted a break from the Colombian food they had been eating for a week, they had sushi at Tanoshii and raved about the quality and flavor of the sushi rolls. 3
  • The Market is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., making it a perfect spot for business lunches and relaxed dinners. Its all-day à la carte menu features Colombian delicacies alongside American favorites like burgers, pizza, and sandwiches, and every dish is crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. 3
  • I quite enjoyed the mezcal mule. You can also order food from the lounge as an alternative to the restaurant. Nothing stood out strongly enough to compel me to eat at the lounge, and the menu seemed a bit pricey for the lack of innovation. 1
  • Food was not as appetizing as the presentation. 8
  • Overall, I found breakfast to be tasty, varied, and filling, but not remarkable. 1
  • I was underwhelmed by the breakfast. I did not go for a second round and barely finished the first. It was basic western fare. Where was the Colombian cuisine? 8
  • I went for a coffee, which came from the machine. Which was perfectly good. 6
  • The breakfast is highly recommended, with gluten-free options available, but some guests suggest adding more variety, such as non-dairy milk. 5
  • I ordered sushi from their sushi restaurant for lunch and it was terrible. 15
  • The limited selection of fruits was impeccably ripe; Papaya was among the best, and its creamy texture was an excellent way to wrap up my meal at Jairo. 11
  • I really enjoyed the breakfast at the JW. They had a FANTASTIC fruit selection. Including granadilla, which are my kids' favourite fruit and are grown in South America. 6
  • i booked this hotel for the last night of my trip to colombia in part due to the fantastic rate 159 through amex fine hotels and resorts which also included 100 property credit plus breakfast can't really beat that On camera20:43
  • I also enjoyed a quiet dinner in the Market Kitchen one evening. 4
  • For a break from the empanadas and plantains, have a bite at Tamarine, a cool and chic Asian fusion restaurant that serves fresh Pacific seafood, like lobster tails served on a bed of creamy avocado and butternut puree and tempura and gyoza prawns. 20
  • JW Marriott Hotel Bogota reviews consistently highlight the dining as a strength. Having eaten here several times across my stay, I can see why - the variety is solid and the quality holds up. 6
  • The gym featured state-of-the-art equipment, catering to a wide range of fitness enthusiasts, while the breakfast at Jairo offered a modern take on Colombian cuisine with fresh, quality ingredients. 11
  • I also sampled an appetizer of edamame topped with parmesan cheese and paprika, which was delicious. 4
Room45 mentions · 4 filmed
  • The bed was obviously the focal point of the room - and it made a bold statement. Decked out in black and gold with a cool fabric headboard that ran underneath the bed as support and up to the ceiling, the whole look was impressive. The best part was that it was not only trendy and fun but practical and comfortable at the same time. 4
  • The bedroom was the only place with closet space, but it was roomy enough for us to store our belongings, especially since my daughters had plenty of room in the living room for their luggage and other items. 3
  • The desk was a mixed bag, with a cool touch-activated lamp and a helpful collection of basic office supplies, but not a lot of space and a chair with metal legs that dragged across the tile floor. 1
  • But definitely not a warm and fuzzy feel to the room. 8
  • The rooms feel like they belong in a boutique Colombian hotel. They tout rich dark wooden furniture, splashes of bright red accents, Colombian sculptures and paintings, and tropical plants. 20
  • There's also a Club Lounge on the 9th floor, which exceeded my expectations. Also my room was on the 10th floor and had an excellent view of the city. 6
  • To the right, a minibar was stocked with snacks and Juan Valdez coffee pods. Juan Valdez is a premium commercial coffee brand with single-origin Colombian coffee, and it was nice to encounter genuine Colombian coffee in the room. 11
  • The main living space is divided from the entry and kitchen by white curtains, instead of a door or wall. This added to the feeling of brightness in the suite, with the flexibility to create some intimacy for a large crowd. 1
  • My immediate impression of the room was that it was bright, spacious and inviting. I loved the funky gold-and-black design and I couldn't believe this wasn't an upgraded room. 4
  • Overall, even though some furniture showed signs of wear, the decision to use my Suite Night Award for an upgrade was justified. 11
  • The corner of the suite was allocated for a work desk, which was equipped with various outlets and connectors, facilitating a smooth transition to remote work. 11
  • The Fantastic Suite was lovely, and the building's hard design elements were on point, as was much of the soft product in the form of food and service. 1
  • Despite encountering some cleanliness issues in the shower, my upgraded corner suite was rich in character and thoroughly impressive. 11
  • Opposite the bed, a smart TV was mounted on a golden pole, featuring impeccable wire management. 11
  • I had an appalling experience at the hotel just pre-COVID where it was inferred by the hotel security that my partner, a registered guest, was a local "rent boy" and they tried to prevent me going to my room with my partner "for my own protection". 15
  • Furthermore, the suite's furniture bore visible signs of wear, including scruffs and dents. 11
  • I was also thrilled with the borderline excessive amount of outlets, which is almost never the case at hotels. With a few placed near the beds, some in the bathroom, some near the bathroom and a whole charging port along the desk that included USB ports - with US outlets as well as European outlet options - I finally found a hotel room that allowed me to plug in all my electronics at once! 4
  • The living room featured a convenient half bath, a huge plus for families on the go. There was a lovely round table with chairs, creating a perfect spot for in-room dining or, in my case, for my daughters to enjoy some time on their iPads before we headed out to explore the city. 3
  • The suite was uninspired. It is intended for a prototypical business traveler, a dinosaur that does not exist. 8
  • The rooms were gorgeous, practical and comfortable and I took advantage of amenities like the steam room, fitness center and the complimentary welcome drinks. That said, it would have been nice to have a coffee maker in the room. 4
  • The bed was flanked by two large nightstands integrated into the bed frame, complete with 110 V outlets for convenience. Sadly, the suite lacked a central light switch. 11
  • The room itself was opulent. My king room was spacious. 13
  • I really liked the JW Marriott Bogota room - nice and spacious for a family of four. 6
  • The room is quite bright throughout the whole day, with a mostly westward exposure (plus ample artificial lighting) and floor-to-ceiling windows in both the living room and the master bedroom. 1
  • The in-room Nespresso machine was a nice touch. 6
  • The desk and chair workspaces were comfortable, even after a few hours of typing on my computer. 4
  • I get that the W tries to make things trendy, but what I really needed was a coffee maker or kettle. Then again, that was the only real downside to this room. 4
  • behind the chase is a decent view of the mountains and the terrace below On camera27:08
  • On the right was a large white closet with lots of hangers, which I thought was fantastic, because I always have to request more. 4
  • The theme of gold was thoughtfully woven throughout the premises, from the bedroom and bathroom to the subtle artwork adorning the lobby walls. I valued the hotel's commitment to maintaining and reinforcing this golden motif consistently across various spaces. 11
  • In general, the design elements in the suite were slick and coherent, but I felt they were lacking a bit of consistency in terms of how much they really popped, with some features shining more than others. 1
  • I stayed in a deluxe guest room at the JW Marriott Bogota - two double beds. Located on the 10th floor, with a fantastic view of the city. 6
  • I don't normally drink coffee, I'm a tea man. But I drank coffee on this occasion. As they didn't have a kettle to warm the water, and make a decent tea. 6
  • The value of the Presidential suite is in the spectacular city view from the balcony. 14
  • Finally, the room had enough lighting, with a switch system that was easy and simple to master - sometimes at W properties, figuring out the lighting is like solving advanced algebra equations. 4
  • The closet area was standard size but felt super cheap to be honest and standard size except for the three-way mirror which was fun to film On camera210:38
  • Overall, the Junior Suite was perfect for what we needed, and at $98 more per night, I could double my space and enjoy access to the executive lounge, which felt like a fantastic deal. 3
  • I was in "Wonderful" room 904, in what was essentially a standard room, but I ended up pleased as punch anyway. 4
  • first we are going to head out to the elevated terrace that connects the buildings in this development wow while the space is beautiful i'd recommend not filming and getting promptly shut down like i was apparently it's not allowed out here 2
  • The view of Bogota is magnificent from the upper floors and from our presidential suite. On camera162:04
  • The window spanned the entire side of the room, and the view was nice, overlooking the office park with the mountains in the background. 4
  • Comfy couch and desk chair 10
  • The rooms are described as perfect, although some guests feel that a renovation is needed due to worn-out furniture and surfaces. 5
  • if nothing else the room was exactly as expected which is generally a strong point for w hotels in general it's spacious and also in w fashion design takes priority over functionality but at least here in bogota not to the extreme On camera26:14
  • The in-room safe was large enough to hold my laptop. There was a three-way, full-length mirror with a stool in front of it, the perfect place to try on various outfits and check yourself out from all angles. 4
Location15 mentions
  • For families or business travellers visiting Bogotá, this is the right call - the neighbourhood is safe and walkable, the club lounge is better than most, and the hotel delivers exactly what you'd expect from the JW Marriott brand. 6
  • The location is truly perfect for both business and leisure travelers. 3
  • It's a place to see and be seen, with nobody to see and nobody to see you. Also, as much as I adored Usaquén, it's not an ideal neighbourhood for most tourists, as it's rather far from many attractions for a first-time visitor to Bogotá. 1
  • The JW Marriott sits in Chapinero, close to the financial district. Cosmopolitan, creative neighbourhood. Young professionals, independent coffee shops, bookshops, design studios. The kind of place you wander into by accident and end up staying two hours. 6
  • The good thing about the hotel's location being within an office park was that there were plenty of coffee shops in the vicinity. 4
  • The hotel is located in a nice area between the T (tourist) Zone and the G (gourmet) Zone of Bogota. 13
  • Having spent quite a bit of time in Bogotá, I can say that one of the main draws of this JW Marriott is its exceptional location. 3
  • The W Bogota's location in Usaquén did indeed make things a bit more challenging in terms of efficient sightseeing on a quick visit to Bogotá. The journey from the airport took a breezy 30 minutes in the evening, but getting to La Candelaria the next morning proved to be a slow journey in the midst of Bogotá's notorious traffic. 1
  • The location of the JW Bogota can't be beat. It's within walking distance to 93rd Street Park and the coveted Zona G gastronomy district. 20
  • JW Bogota - great upgrade, comfortable , delicious lounge, best location 19
  • The hotel's perfect location is incredibly convenient as it's near all the places we enjoy visiting in the city, such as malls, restaurants, and tourist attractions. 3
  • Cons - the staff can be a bit standoffish, the location is not great although I do really like the Usaquen neighborhood 12
  • The JW Marriott Bogota Hotel is all about location, location, location. Located in the city's financial district and just 30 minutes from the Bogota International Airport, the JW is also near the Avenida Chile shopping mall, the National Theatre and the "Zona G" (Zona Gastronomica), with some of the finest restaurants in Bogota. 14
  • Located in the Usaquén/Santa Barbara section of the city, the hotel was in an affluent and safe area that's home to many offices and businesses. 4
  • Despite its location being a bit removed from the various sites I explored in Bogota, my experience at W Bogota was thoroughly enjoyable. 11
Bed & Sleep5 mentions · 1 filmed
  • Sheraton - great bed, nice lounge offering 19
  • The bed had a height that would probably not fit standard deep-pocket sheets. It was tall, plush and comfortable. The bed offered great sleep at night. 13
  • Bed was comfortable - plush mattress, plush pillows, and plush covers 10
  • As Peter would say, "You know what grinds my gears?" Let me tell you: blackout curtains that are not long enough. There was either a gap in the middle of the curtains or at the end. 8
  • as with most premium mario properties the bedding and bed itself are fantastic On camera26:42
Service20 mentions · 1 filmed
  • As we made our way to the check-in desk, a friendly desk associate greeted me with a warm welcome back to the property and thanked me for my Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status. 3
  • The rooms are beautifully furnished, the service is friendly and refined, and the indoor pool is a major highlight. 3
  • The Fantastic Suite was lovely, and the building's hard design elements were on point, as was much of the soft product in the form of food and service. 1
  • A quick note about the service at the JW Marriott Bogota. I'd seen JW Marriott Hotel Bogota reviews praising the staff before I arrived - they weren't exaggerating. It was fantastic. The staff went above and beyond. 6
  • The W Bogotá had been high on my list of Starwood properties to check out, so when I was planning a recent trip through Latin America, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. Although this hotel is listed as a Category 4, its snazzy décor and sleek vibe gave it a much cooler feel. 4
  • Returning to the JW Marriott Hotel Bogota, especially since my daughters were so eager to come back, really highlights just how impressive the service is here. Once again, it truly stood out as top-notch. 3
  • The finest sushi accompanied by an extensive range of drinks in a modern and friendly atmosphere. On camera163:15
  • The service was genuinely special. When my daughter mentioned that granadilla was her favourite fruit, the breakfast team sent a plate of them up to our room without being asked. My son arrived after breakfast service had finished, requested fresh juice anyway, and the staff made it on the spot. That kind of attentiveness is rare - even at this level. 6
  • The staff members were friendly and efficient, so it only took a few minutes for them to run my SPG Amex and assign me room 904. 4
  • Check-in was smooth, with very friendly, professional staff who were well-trained and eager to please. 1
  • The staff were friendly and attentive to customers. To the point it feels they are fawning over you at times. 13
  • The JW Marriott Hotel Bogota offers complimentary Wi-Fi for Marriott Bonvoy members throughout the hotel, including guest rooms, public areas, and event spaces. I experienced consistent service without any interruptions or slow upload times. 3
  • I was warmly welcomed by a receptionist stationed at a sleek, asymmetrical desk, who efficiently facilitated my check-in. 11
  • We had a wonderful stay here just 18 months prior, and my daughters were eager to return. We quickly discovered that each and every time we walked by the front door, the staff greeted us warmly with a hand on their heart, saying things like "Good morning" or "Welcome back." 3
  • The front desk unobtrusively blends in, as if not to distract from the living room-esque open lobby, but the service is immediate. 14
  • Overall, the accommodation received positive feedback from guests. It is praised for its excellent location in the heart of downtown and friendly and helpful staff. 5
  • The service in the bar was slow at times, but the food was good. 13
  • Guests appreciate the hotel's consistency in providing good service and its effort to rectify any mishaps. 5
  • Despite this, the hotel is commended for its service and the club lounge. 5
  • Lounge is decent, has a nice balcony, and breakfast is best downstairs. Staff is A+ 15
Value10 mentions · 1 filmed
  • Cons - the rates can be astronomical 12
  • do i need to go back no but it served its purpose and was a good value if you can get it for the same price On camera213:50
  • The JW Marriott Hotel Bogota stands out as one of the city's most luxurious hotels, providing comfortable accommodations with premium rates to match. 3
  • Corner room on the 10th floor, full club lounge access, a welcome gift - all off a base rate of $507 in April. That stacks up well for a five-star - considerably better value than the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London, where rack rates are a different conversation entirely. 6
  • The prices were also surprisingly cheap. A beer at most Marriott bars will set you back eight dollars or more. 13
  • The deluxe room rate was around $507 during my April stay - reasonable for a five-star in a South American capital. 6
  • As I mentioned, we upgraded to a Junior Suite, which included lounge access, for $98 plus taxes. If you're traveling with your family and can upgrade for around that price, it could be a good deal, considering how extensive the lounge offerings typically are at this property. 3
  • Pros - Great but expensive spa treatments, multiple restaurant options (I believe 3), lounge, I've only staid in the a "Junior Suite" which is really just a suite, centrally located for the majority of activities in Bogota 12
  • Courtyard - comfortable for how cheap it is 19
  • The minibar seemed a bit naked if i'm honest there was drip coffee available but i remember the days when w hotels used to have some of the most thoughtfully stocked mini bars out there with all sorts of overpriced goodies you could buy 2
Bathroom17 mentions · 2 filmed
  • The bathroom was segregated into sections and may be the largest at any Marriott I have visited. 13
  • The 5-star accommodations provide spacious beds and luxurious bathrooms with separate bath and shower. 14
  • The bathroom was super luxurious. I appreciated that they had a deep bath tub and a separate shower room. 6
  • In the 10-story glass hotel, the 25 suites are easily the most impressive. They are outfitted with a large sitting area, a spacious work desk with an ergonomic chair, a large marble bathroom with a textured gold mirror and a bathtub. 20
  • The bathroom was bright and beautiful, with emerald tiles and a separate rainfall shower and toilet. 4
  • Additionally, the presence of noticeable black mold in a corner of the shower stall was a letdow 11
  • Discovering black mold in the corner of the shower booth was a letdown, falling short of the high standards I associate with the W brand. 11
  • The shower pressure was great, and the usual Bliss amenities were provided. 4
  • The full bathroom showcased beautiful marble all around, complete with a lovely deep soaking tub. The tub was perfect for bathing our youngest daughter. 3
  • the hairdryer is missing let's see if this is across it over here i guess that here we have some amenities or at least we used to have some energies they're still there On camera72:02
  • The open plan bathroom has an oddly deep shower room with a mishmash of products on offer otherwise there's plenty of space to spread out On camera29:11
  • The wall design not only paid homage to Colombia's golden legacy but also aligned with the W brand's energetic aesthetic. Although the walk-in shower featured a rainfall showerhead, the low water pressure somewhat diminished the experience. 11
  • While the bathroom's innovative design contributed to the suite's spacious feel without compromising functionality, the issues with the shower area's maintenance marred an otherwise impressive setup. 11
  • the bathroom is very spacious and they have the aromatherapy line of bathroom amenities one of the standards of the cheddar married hotels 7
  • The shower featured a rain showerhead and handheld spray option, delivering strong water pressure and hot water - just the way I enjoy i 3
  • Shower pressure was quite strong - I used the wand head as it was nearly head level for me and very strong 10
  • The living room featured a convenient half bath, a huge plus for families on the go. 3
Noise4 mentions
  • You can't miss Circo, whose live music and pizzas are some of the best in the city, but the small space can crowd on Fridays and Saturdays. 20
  • Elevators are physically slow - they're also super quiet, so perhaps this is on purpose 10
  • With a busy financial district location, thankfully the windows are soundproofed, so when it's time to sleep, street noise doesn't interrupt your slumber. 14
  • The room seemed fairly soundproof until the third night, when a group of party animals came back around 1:30am screaming and yelling, banging on doors and blasting music. I called the Anytime, Anywhere number to complain, but the noise wouldn't subside. I finally managed to fall back asleep, but was surprised the hotel staff hadn't remedied the situation. 4
View4 mentions
  • There's not a whole lot of skyline to see - but also not a whole lot of skyline to obstruct the view. 1
  • The Junior Suites feature large, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer sweeping views of the sparkling skyline and surrounding Monserrate mountain. 20
  • Because the suite was positioned on the 10th floor, it delivered a panoramic view of Bogota; however, I must admit it couldn't rival the Andean vistas from the Grand Hyatt Bogota. 11
  • There's not a whole lot of skyline to see - but also not a whole lot of skyline to obstruct the view. There's an L-shaped leather couch partially against the window facing the TV, plus some other individual seats. They weren't uncomfortable by any means, but they did strike me as form over function. 1

    The desk was a mixed bag, with a cool touch-activated lamp and a helpful collection of basic office supplies, but not a lot of space and a chair with metal legs that dragged across the tile floor.
