Hotel Continental reopens its doors with a new way of staying

The iconic Hotel Continental begins a new era this February 15, now under the operation of Hoteles ByHours. With an innovative approach, it offers its guests the possibility to pay only for the hours they really need, making it the ideal solution for modern travelers who value flexibility and time.

With this transformation, the hotel adopts a new name: Hotel Continental ByHours, preserving its historical legacy while embracing the demands of the present. This change reflects not only its physical renovation, but also a conceptual reinvention designed to provide a more personalized and efficient experience.

Strategically located in the heart of Bogota, the Hotel Continental ByHours is perfect for those who want to explore the main tourist attractions, enjoy a comfortable stay and optimize their resources with the hourly bookings. With this unique proposal, the hotel reaffirms its position as a leader in hospitality in the capital and a unique destination that you must experience.

An icon that has stood the test of time

Since its inauguration on April 9, 1948, the Continental has witnessed the history of the Colombian capital. Born in the midst of the chaos of the Bogotazo, this building survived the riots that devastated much of the downtown area. While other important buildings succumbed to the flames, the Continental not only remained standing, but maintained its operation, punctually serving its famous five o'clock tea.

During its golden years, the hotel was home to national and international figures. Celebrities such as Celia Cruz, Camilo Sesto and Kid Pambelé, as well as former presidents and artists, stayed within its walls. It was also a meeting point for Bogota's high society, who frequented its elegant restaurant and enjoyed French cuisine.

However, the passage of time and changes in urban dynamics led the Continental into a period of decadence in the 1990s. After years of neglect, the hotel was reborn as an apartment building, but its essence as a city icon remained intact. Now, with the reopening of Hotel Continental Bogotá, this place has regained its luster, adapting to the demands of the contemporary traveler without losing its rich historical heritage.
