What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
living plant walls, botanical room installations, and dense tropical planting throughout the public spaces.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Provenza's busiest cocktail bars and restaurants line the street outside, and Parque Lleras is a short walk away.
The rooms
Soundproofed walls block the street noise, and select suites add private hot tubs on open-air terraces.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The seventh-floor plunge pool looks past glass railings toward brick high-rises and the green slopes of the valley.
The hot tub and sauna
A tiled whirlpool tub sits beside vertical wood slats, and a sauna is on hand for quiet recovery.
At the table
The rooftop bar serves cocktails and Asian-Mexican dishes beneath woven circular shades and a wood-slatted counter.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
