I stayed at the Hilton Bogota for two nights and booked the first night using 30,000 Hilton HHonors points. I booked the second night for $79 using an MVP corporate rate. There was a disparity in price because the first night fell on a business heavy weekday where the rooms were going for over $300. My second night fell on a weekend where business travel slows down and is pretty much non-existent which is why the rooms were going for less than $100.<\/p>\n

I took a 20 minute cab ride from downtown Bogota to the Hilton Bogota located in the Chapinero neighborhood for $5 USD which was really cheap.<\/p>\n

The lobby was very modern in d\u00e9cor and throughout my stay, it was very busy and felt almost like a \u201cW hotel\u201d living room.<\/p>\n

Before arrival, I was pre-upgraded to a one-bedroom suite as indicated on my Hilton HHonors reservations profile. I am only a Hilton HHonors Gold member. Since my rooms were booked separately, I asked the front desk agent if I could have the two reservations combined. He said it was no problem so I could stay in the suite for two nights consecutively without checking out the first night.<\/p>\n

I went up to my suite at room 815 and made a video of the room.<\/p>\n
