This hotel has everything you need for a fantastic trip to Bogota, full stop.
Check out the full tour to see why, coming up.
Parque 93 or 93rd Street Park is the center point of one of Bogota’s best little neighborhoods
and the Salvio Parque 93 overlooks every inch of it.
The hotel has many strong points, among them- this great location.
Let’s take a closer look.
Skip to the next chapter to start the tour now.
Bogota has a really straightforward layout with numbered north south avenues and east
west streets dominating the areas that you’ll be visiting.
From the airport to Salvio it’s around a 30 minute ride to the neighborhood of El Chico
which surrounds the park.
Around the park there are many restaurants and shops including plenty of coffee shops,
pharmacies and convenience stores.
The entrance to the hotel is on the side.
The ground floor is just the security desk- for reception, we head up to the fourth floor.
Note that if you’re searching for this hotel, in Google Maps you’ll find it as Salvio
Apartasuites, not just Salvio as listed on most booking sites.
Besides the check in desks and small lounge area the fourth floor is wrapped with a terrace
spanning the length and width of the building and fronting the park.
Built in 2019, the property has 72 rooms- or apartments- or apartasuites- depending
who you’re asking spread across nine floors, plus the fourth floor for conference rooms
and common areas and the eleventh floor for the breakfast area and rooftop bar.
The design throughout the hotel is modern and neutral with a distinctly Latin feel to
it that I can’t really put my finger on.
One of the few things I’m not a fan of was how they designed the rooms to connect, creating
a really large shared entry for certain sets of rooms which is just dead space if the rooms
aren’t connected.
Inside the room though, it’s a really nice and thoughtfully laid out space.
This is an Executive Room among their many categories.
To my knowledge all rooms have balconies and all rooms except the smallest have kitchenettes
and extra apartment like areas such as the dining table.
Especially with the giant walk-in closet, it would be very easy to be happy here for
a few weeks if necessary.
The bed was super comfortable if not a bit soft and there was plenty of space for lounging,
working or even entertaining on a small scale.
The side tables both have outlets within kinda easy reach, just behind on the walls.
In the entryway is a small cupboard.
I actually thought this was the main closet before I opened it and was surprised how shallow
it was- but need not worry, the real closet is plenty big.
Across is a fairly well stocked kitchen typical of what you'd find in any professional serviced
apartment.
Upon check in a few bottles of water and espresso pods were given, but not replenished.
Kinda sorta hidden back here is the entrance to the bathroom and first, the passthrough
closet.
Passing through to the bathroom there is plenty of space to spread out- perhaps not the best
use of space but still very functional.
Here, they’re also featuring the Loto del Sur products that I raved about in my previous
video in the Four Seasons.
And finally we have the thing that in the end made me choose this hotel over the Click
Clack Hotel just around the corner- it’s the massive balcony and view of the park.
Walking out we are facing east- each morning the sun will rise just over these mountains.

A sincere thank you in advance.
In the distance you can kind of make out Monserrate and then further south in the distance the
rest of that strip of Bogota that I drew out before.
Now, up to the 11th floor we have the breakfast area which especially towards the later hours
of service was always packed.
We’ll take a closer look in a second, but first the Rooftop bar.
If you noticed in the opening intro- I mentioned the worst thing about this hotel is the Elevator
Lines at night.
Well, that’s because of this very popular bar.
And I can definitely see why it's so popular- I just wish they reserved one elevator just
from the ground floor to the 11th and the other for guests.
Overall though, it was a very small ‘worst thing’.
The views up here spill out to the north and on a clear night you'll be able to catch a
beautiful sunset as well.
Back over to breakfast.
Each morning they offer a small buffet with some of the essentials along with rotating
soups and hot dishes- in addition to this there was also a small supplemental menu for
egg dishes and the like.
Near the check in area there is a small gym- but unless you’re accustomed to Bogota’s
elevation, I don’t think you’re going to be running too far.
Finally outside on the park side, there is a mixed use area on the ground and lower levels.
They’re more associated with the hotel than a part of it, but there’s a mixture of fast
casual and sit down dining that just adds to the food scene that already surrounds this
ideal slice of Bogota.
And that is all that there is to write, so let’s get into the Flip Flop Score.
No surprises here- I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
The only ticks were for what felt like a very hands off level of service from reception
and not replenishing amenities daily in the room.
Both small things and possibly because it is an Aparthotel- but to be fair, they don’t
market themselves like that on the booking sites.
Overall a solid 91 out of 100.
