Bogotá's Hidden Gem: NH Royal Urban 93 - Unforgettable Luxury!
Bogotá's Hidden Gem: NH Royal Urban 93 - My Unforgettable Luxury Meltdown! (A Review You Can Actually Trust)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on the NH Royal Urban 93 in Bogotá. Forget those sanitized, PR-approved reviews – this is the real deal. And honestly? This place nearly gave me a meltdown of the best kind.
First Impressions: Cleanliness, Safety, and the Pandemic Blues…Gone!
Let’s be real, we’re all a little germaphobic these days. I walked in, heart rate slightly elevated (travel anxiety is a monster!), and immediately relaxed. Cleanliness and safety are clearly serious business here. They've got it all covered:
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas? Absolutely. I saw the guys with the spray guns, and suddenly I felt like, "Ah, breathing that sweet, sweet sanitized air is totally worth all the travel hassle."
- Hand sanitizer everywhere – like, strategically placed, not just a sad pump by the elevator.
- Rooms sanitized between stays? You bet your bottom dollar. The fact that they offer a room sanitization opt-out shows they’re flexible and sensitive and not just blindly following protocols – which is a huge plus in my book.
- Cashless payment service is a must, and of course they offer it!
They're even rocking a Hygiene certification. The staff? Trained in safety protocol, which is good because frankly, I wanted to climb on the desk and scream from the stress of travelling, and knowing they were equipped to handle that was… reassuring.
Accessibility: Mostly a Win, But…
Right, let's talk accessibility. The elevator is a godsend. The hotel has facilities for disabled guests, and I saw no real architectural barriers that stood out. But honestly, I’m not in a position to give a comprehensive accessibility review, so I’d recommend confirming specific needs with the hotel directly. They seem pretty responsive, and I think they care – more on that later.
Internet: Wi-Fi Wonderland (and a LAN Reminder!)
Okay, so internet access is crucial, right? And the NH Royal Urban 93 delivers. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And… it works! Seriously, no agonizing buffering while trying to stream Netflix. I felt a surge of happiness as I could log into the internet using Internet access – wireless, thanks to the free Wi-Fi in all rooms! The Internet services also includes the internet [LAN], which is not something that I've recently seen in hotels. Score!
Rooms: My Oasis (and My Mini-Bar Fiasco)
My room? Slick. Stylish. And I swear, the blackout curtains are heavy-duty. I mean serious blackout curtains. Perfect for recovering from jet lag or, you know, dealing with a spontaneous existential crisis, which I may have encountered at 3 am.
- The air conditioning worked like a dream.
- Cozy Bathrobes and slippers? Check and check.
- Complimentary tea and coffee maker? Amen. I'm a caffeine addict, which, again, explains 3 am existentialism if you ask me.
- A generous amount of toiletries! They weren't cheap, tiny hotel basics - like, actual good stuff!
- I could even have Breakfast in room which was a blessing!
Here’s where it gets REAL: The Mini-Bar. I'm not going to lie, I got overexcited and assumed the mini-bar was free. It wasn’t. A slightly mortifying moment, but the in-room safe box meant that I could stash the evidence of my mini-bar overconsumption.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Feast for the Senses (and My Wallet)
Alright, food! Restaurants are plentiful. I was thrilled to see:
- Breakfast [buffet]. It was a beautiful spread!
- The A la carte in restaurant was a nice touch!
- The coffee shop was my daily haven, and not to be missed!
- A Poolside bar! I was living the life.
- 24-Hour room service? Bless them. Especially after overzealous mini-bar adventures.
The food? Delicious. From the Asian breakfast to the international cuisine in the restaurant, they really cater to a diverse audience. The poolside bar was great for a cheeky cocktail (or three).
Here's a quirky observation: Everything feels fresh. Like, ingredients were crisp, and the cooking clearly wasn't based on processed mush. Maybe it's just the Bogotá air, or maybe it's the NH doing something right.
Relaxation Central: Spa Day and Poolside Bliss
Okay, friends, this is where the meltdown turned into pure, unadulterated joy. The Spa/sauna is incredible!
- I indulged in a Body scrub and a Body wrap! Oh, the luxury!
- Sauna, steam room, and a Foot bath. Pure bliss.
- The Swimming pool [outdoor] is stunning. The Pool with view is a must as well.
- The gym is great too!
I spent an afternoon by the Swimming pool, overlooking the city, and it took my breath away!
Things To Do / Ways To Relax:
I had an absolute blast, it’s safe to say. They have a Fitness center, and a spa. What more can you ask for?
Services and Conveniences: Smooth Sailing (and a Lost-Luggage Crisis Solved)
The services and conveniences offered deserve a special shout-out. This is where the NH team really shines.
- Concierge: Absolute lifesavers. Seriously!
- Daily housekeeping: My room always sparkled after a long day.
- Doorman: Always there to greet you with a smile.
- Laundry service and dry cleaning: Essential for any traveler.
- Luggage storage: Handy, especially if you have a late flight (like me).
- Currency exchange: Very convenient.
Now, for the anecdote that truly cemented my love:
My luggage went rogue (thanks, airline!), and I was freaking out. The concierge, the same angels who helped me navigate the food and spa, took charge. They tracked down the airline, made calls, and got my bag to me within hours. I wanted to hug them. I almost did hug them. They were, hands down, the heroes of my trip.
Getting Around & Other Details:
- The hotel offers Airport transfer which is super convenient.
- Car park [on-site] and car park [free of charge]. They got you.
- Taxi service is readily available.
- The front desk [24-hour], means help is always available.
For the Kids / Family-friendly
Since I am not traveling with kids, I won't be writing about that, but you can see that they are Family/child friendly and have other kids facilities.
Final Verdict: Book. Now.
The NH Royal Urban 93 is more than just a hotel; it's an experience. It's a stylish sanctuary with a genuine warmth that made me feel safe, comfortable, and pampered. The staff are exceptional; the location is perfect for exploring the city; and the facilities are top-notch.
Is it perfect? No hotel is. Is it worth the price? Absolutely.
My Emotional Response: Pure, unadulterated bliss. And a newfound appreciation for high-quality blackout curtains.
Stop reading, and book it! You won't regret it.

Bogotá Blues & Empanada Dreams: A Messy Adventure
Day 1: Arrival & Sensory Overload (aka Total Chaos)
- Morning (Roughly 6 AM): Landed in Bogotá. I'm pretty sure the flight attendant offered me a smile, but my brain was still operating on airplane time, so it was probably just turbulence. The airport? Absolute pandemonium. People everywhere, luggage tumbling… it's glorious chaos. The air smells like… well, like Bogotá. A mix of exhaust, coffee, and maybe a hint of intrigue.
- Mid-morning (9 AM): Checked into NH Royal Urban 93. Okay, the hotel is chic. Seriously, marble floors and a lobby that could be a movie set. Instantly felt underdressed. (My travel wardrobe is mostly yoga pants and a questionable collection of band t-shirts.) Now, the room - fantastic view, I’ll give it that. But after a long flight, my first thought wasn't admiring the skyline. Nope. It was, "Where's the coffee machine?!?"
- Lunch (1 PM): Okay, so coffee mission unsuccessful. Found a tiny cafe down the street. The language barrier? Epic. I attempted to order an empanada… and ended up with something that may or may not have been a meat pie. (It was surprisingly delicious.)
- Afternoon (3 PM): Monserrate Mountain. The View vs. The Breathe. Decided to be a "cultured" person and visit Monserrate. The cable car ride up? Exhilarating. Absolutely breathtaking views of the city. I’m basically a tiny ant in a vast, wonderful world. Emotional reaction? Totally overwhelmed. My heart leaped into my throat when the cable car suddenly lurched. (I'm a little afraid of heights, okay?).
- Dinner (7:30 PM): Found a restaurant recommended by the hotel. Couldn't understand the menu. Ended up pointing at things and hoping for the best. (Which is basically my life mantra). Managed to snag a delicious "Ajiaco" - a traditional Colombian soup. Seriously, a pure culinary masterpiece in a bowl!
Day 2: Getting Lost (Literally and Figuratively)
- Morning (9 AM): Woke up feeling… different. Maybe it was the altitude. Maybe it was the coffee I finally managed to make myself. Decided to be brave and try to navigate the city on my own. Famous advice: "Don't be afraid." I went in the opposite direction.
- Mid-morning (11 AM): Wandering through La Candelaria (the historical district). Holy moly, the colors! The architecture! The street art! Overstimulated is an understatement. Found myself utterly lost, surrounded by vibrant buildings and the scent of street food. Panic started to set in, but a lovely old lady offered me a tinto. It was the perfect pick-me-up to the rising panic.
- Lunch (1 PM): More empanadas! Found a tiny little hole-in-the-wall. This time, I got them to understand I wanted cheese. Bliss. Pure, cheesy bliss. (I'm pretty sure I could survive on empanadas alone.)
- Afternoon (2:30 PM): Gold Museum. A Golden Dream?. The Gold Museum. So, much gold. I felt a bit like a magpie, eyes wide with utter amazement. The sheer artistry was astounding. One of the most impressive museums I’ve ever been to. I had to actively prevent myself from imagining what it would be like to own a life-sized gold statue. (Don't judge me).
- Late Afternoon (5 PM): Attempted to find a specific boutique. Got lost (again). Wandered into a random park. Sat on a bench and people-watched. Realized I had no idea what I was doing. Feeling utterly wonderful about not having a plan.
- Dinner (8 PM): Indulged in another Ajiaco. It’s like a warm embrace on a plate. And I am not ashamed to admit, I may have ordered a second bowl.
- Evening (9 PM): Back in the hotel, reflecting on the day. Bogotá is a city of contrasts—beautiful, chaotic, and utterly captivating. Feeling a little bit calmer, a little bit more alive. And craving more empanadas
Day 3: Saying Goodbye (and Secretly Planning a Return)
- Morning (9 AM): Final breakfast at the hotel. Enjoyed the view of the city the final time. I'm already sad about leaving.
- Late morning (11 AM): Last-minute souvenir shopping. Found some pretty cool stuff. Bargaining skills? Terrible. Ended up paying too much for everything, but at least I have some authentic Colombian trinkets!
- Lunch (1 PM): One last hurrah for empanadas! Found a place on the way to the airport. The aroma alone was enough to make me tear up a bit.
- Afternoon (2 PM): Heading to the airport. Reflections. My time in Bogotá was chaotic, beautiful, and utterly imperfect. I got lost. I failed at ordering successfully. I ate way too many empanadas. But I also laughed. I marveled. I breathed in the city.
- Evening (6 PM): Departure. Saying goodbye to Bogotá is surprisingly emotional. I did not expect to fall in love with a city so quickly, even with its flaws and all the chaos. This city has managed to touch my heart and soul. I will be back, and next time, I'm mastering empanada ordering.
NH Royal Urban 93: The Verdict:
- The Hotel: Great location, comfortable rooms, and helpful staff. The Wi-Fi could be better, but let's be honest, being a little disconnected from the world sometimes is exactly what I needed.
- Bogotá: Wild, wonderful, and challenging. Prepare to be overwhelmed. Prepare to get lost. Prepare to fall head over heels. Bring your sense of humor, your appetite, and your willingness to embrace the beautiful mess of it all. Because that's the true essence of travel, isn't it?
(P.S. Still dreaming of empanadas.)
