40-minute drive from Bogota’s historic city center
The three-pearl Movich Hotel Chico 97 is a sophisticated property that’s a 40-minute drive from Bogota’s Bolivar Plaza and other historic and popular attractions. With that in mind, most guests appreciate the stylish design and modern amenities versus an ideal location. The 75 rooms have flat-screen TVs and minibars, but with bottled water for a fee and no coffee- and tea-making facilities, they’re not as upscale as the hotel likes to advertise. With a free breakfast at the restaurant, a lovely rooftop terrace, and a modest gym, there’s enough to keep guests decently entertained in the mornings and evenings. Travelers might want to consider Hotel Tequendama which has a small spa and indoor pool for around the same rates.

Scene
Modern boutique hotel with an attractive rooftop terrace and clientele of mostly business travelers
Movich Hotel Chico 97 is a fresh and modern boutique hotel with contemporary elements throughout. The lobby is stylish with ample seating in a variety of tables and booths. Sophisticated taupe decorative elements combined with native-style prints in pillows, rugs, and decorative wall bowls make for an overall pleasing atmosphere. Though the lobby is a lovely place to interact thanks to a free coffee area and a bar open late into the evenings, the rooftop terrace is a contender for best place to hang out. Modern white chairs and a chic white couch sit on the terraced deck under a wood slated covering, lit by white Chinese paper globe lanterns. Due to a location far from the tourist areas and the sophisticated design, business travelers are the most common guests, followed by couples.
Location
A 40-minute drive to downtown Bogota and lots of dining options within a five-minute walk
Movich Hotel Chico 97 isn’t extremely ideal for Bogota tourists, as it’s a 40-minute drive to Bolivar Square and the Gold Museum. There are some attractions that are a little bit closer, like the Bogota Botanical Garden (30-minute drive), Luckia Casino (19-minute drive), and Centro Commercial Iserra (15-minute drive away), but they still require a car or taxi. There are, however, plenty of dining options and parks on surrounding streets and a bus stop that’s a three-minute walk away. It takes 52 minutes by car to reach the Bancolombia Airport El Dorado.
Rooms
Contemporary rooms with minibars and flat-screen TVs
Rooms at the Movich Hotel Chico 97 are spacious and decorated in a contemporary style with white and taupe decor. Dotted orange and blue carpet and printed pillows add some much needed character to the spaced. All rooms include modern appliances like flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and minibars. Though bottled water is available, it costs a fee. Coffee- and tea-making facilities are nowhere to be seen. Bathrooms are as modern as the rooms. They come with hairdryers, toiletries, and showers. Some rooms have lovely city and mountain views.
Features
An on-site restaurant and free breakfast, plus a modern gym

There’s a chic restaurant that serves local and international cuisine, as well as a free a la carte breakfast of eggs, breads, jams, and fruits. Room service is available, too. Guests can stay fit with the hotel’s modern gym as it offers a handful of cardio equipment and free weights in a room with lots of windows and natural light. Business travelers can take advantage of free Wi-Fi, a business center with a printer, and a single fully-equipped meeting room.
