The Hotel de la Opera is set in the historical district of La Candelaria. The hotel has 42 suites decorated with fine Italian-made furniture, central heating, Wi-Fi, cable TV, safe deposit boxes and all the comforts of the best five star hotel tradition of Bogota.

The hotel's historic buildings are just in front of the San Carlos Palace and include 28 suites decorated in vibrant with color - bold yellows on the walls, graced with giant wood armoires and arched entrances, are spread around the courtyards of the colonial and Republican era.
15 other suites in Deco style are located in the top floor of the adjacent building of the late 1940's, the highest point in the neighborhood of La Candelaria. Decorated with bespoken designed Italian furniture this latest addition offers views of the Plaza de Bolivar the domes of the Cathedral and the mountain of Monserrate.

Dining
The restaurants "La Scala" and "El Mirador" provide a very exclusive selection of Mediterranean, international and Colombian dishes. The Bar "El Automatico" - named after a famous Bogota' coffee shop - offers a variety of appetizers, wines and an excellent light food menu.
Thermae Spa
The Thermae Spa provides services including Turkish bath, sauna, massages and beauty room, gym, and heated pool, and innovative treatments focused on relaxation and physical wellbeing.
The design concept evokes typical elements from the 1930's and 1940's Bogotanian Art Deco and a palette of warm tones. The notable materials used include Caqueta cedar wood and Uraba Chocoano Theca, Bogotanian stone for floor finishes and tiling, suspended ceiling plaster work, glass doors and blue and green Spanish vitreous glass tiles in the pool, making a remarkable contemporary and cozy space.
This area is built on two levels, exclusively dedicated to comfort and rest. On the first floor there is a heated pool, Jacuzzi, cardiovascular exercise zone, showers and dressing rooms. The second floor houses sauna, Turkish baths and massage zone.
Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
