Zaitania Spa,
Grand Hyatt Bogota
Bogota, Colombia
Bogota is known as ‘the lady of the shining mountain’. The
Muisca were the indigenous inhabitants of the region and
called the settlement where Bogota was founded Bacata,
which in the Chibcha language means ‘the lady of the Andes’.
As the capital and largest city of Colombia, it’s the political,
economic and industrial center of the country, and is located
on a high plateau at 2,640 meters above sea level. Standing
proud in the north of the city is the Grand Hyatt Bogota, a brandnew
hotel with open, airy rooms overlooking one of the town’s
business hot spots. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the suites
overlook the gardens, the bright lights of the metropolis and
over to the cloud-topped Andes.
The Grand Hyatt is also home to the Zaitania Spa, where they
have dedicated an entire floor solely to spa and wellness with
a well-equipped gym boasting excellent views over the city.
Zaitania, which in the Muisca language means ‘the beginning of
the world’ is a sanctuary created, in their words “to rejuvenate
their guests, energize their soul and ultimately reconnect with
the best version of themselves.”
Zaitania Spa is the largest urban spa in Latin America and
features a mixed gender hydrotherapy area with hot Jacuzzi,
cold pool and sensorial pool with jets and water cascades for
the back. In each changing area, there is a spacious sauna and
steam room with two levels of heat. A semi-olympic lap pool with
floor-to-ceiling windows and a beautiful glass roof allows guests
to swim with an alfresco feel.
