Make yourself at home during your stay at family owned bed and breakfast Casa Legado in Bogotá’s Quinta Camacho neighbourhood. There are just thirteen rooms in this bright stay – each inspired by a different member of owner Helena’s family – and breakfasts are served around the long wooden dining table each morning. We’re sure you’ll feel at home: snacks and non-alcholic drinks wait for you in the open-plan kitchen. Feeling active? Borrow bikes to explore the city. Keen to kick back? Soak up the sun in the courtyard garden or cosy up with a book (and a glass of regional red) by the fireplace. Your favourite friend couldn't do better. ¡Bienvenido a la família!

You’ll find Casa Legado in the Quinta Camacho neighborhood, in the heart of Bogotá.

Planes

Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado is 30 minutes away by car. Hotel transfers can be arranged for US$25 each way (you’ll get yours free as a Smith Extra).

Automobiles

There’s onsite parking at the hotel, but we’d ditch the self-drive route in favour of airport pick-up and the hotel’s upright bicycles.

Worth getting out of bed for

Borrow one of the hotel’s photogenic bikes and pedal your way around the neighbourhood, pour yourself a glass of wine and snuggle up by the fireplace, or relax with a movie night in the garden. Achy? Thai massages can be arranged on request. And if you fancy exploring further afield, the family also owns a bucolic farmhouse two hours outside Bogotá. Called Manqué in honour of Helena’s father, it's a cosy countryside cottage that’s well worth an overnight visit. A guide will whisk you away to the farm, stopping at local arepa shacks, markets and hidden gardens along the way.

Browse for bit of locally made bling – made from recycled silver – at Colombian-Pakistani jewellery shop Aysha Bilgrami or search through the tomes at Wilborada for something to read in the garden. Make your way to Italian-inspired ice cream shop Orso and grab a cinnamon ice cream cone, caramel cookie-dough milkshake or warm chocolate-chip cookie topped with a scoop; then if your sweet treat of choice is portable, you can ramble over to Plaza Bolivar, Bogotá’s main square.

 

 

Local restaurants

For brunch, order egg-based migas, ensalada de palmito and savoury corn arepas at Abasto; share a custard-y torta almojabana for dessert. For a mid-morning pick-me-up, swing around the corner to neighbourhood bakery Les Amis for a sampling of cakes and a fortifying cup of Colombian coffee. For dinner, carb-load with comfort food at Italian eatery 18 Scalini, which dishes out lemon-drizzled linguine with purple squid, Spaghetti alla carbonara and classic wood-fired pizzas. It’s a bit of a trek (20 minutes by car), but Andres DC is a date night favourite for good reason: part restaurant, part live entertainment venue, it guarantees you dinner and a show.

 

 

Local bars

Bundle away to wine and tapas bar Nueve for small plates and perfect pairings from a stash of more than 170 varieties of wine. Inspired by Prohibition-era speakeasies, it also has a stand-out cocktail menu for dapper chaps and dames.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this boutique hotel in Colombia and unpacked their bags of coffee beans, a full account of their South American city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Casa Legado in Bogotá…

Bogotá’s boutique stay Casa Legado lives up to its name (it’s Spanish for ‘legacy’). It’s a bright and homey stay with rooms inspired by various relatives of owner Helena, with sentimental momentos stylishly repurposed throughout. That ice-cream cart check-in desk? A childhood birthday gift. The bijou lego model of the hotel? An opening-day surprise constructed by a creative niece. 

After a peaceful night’s sleep, pull up a seat at the communal table in the Mad Hatter–meets-mid-century-mod breakfast room, where a tea-set-turned-chandelier hangs overhead and a dainty trolley of altitude-acclimatising teas waits in one corner. Tuck heartily into the freshly baked bread, tropical fruit juices, homemade granolas and aromatic cups of Colombian coffee: you’ll need your fuel for a day of exploring the neighbourhood by (borrowed from the house) bike. Too active for you? Ask Helena to arrange knot-relieving Thai massages or while away an afternoon with a holiday read on the covered terrace.

Hungry? Wander into the sunny, well-stocked kitchen and help yourself to the wares: salty snacks, fresh fruit and heady bottles of wine. The latter is best imbibed by a crackling fire or out in the greenery-bedecked interior courtyard. Whichever you choose, make yourself at home.
