The first Grand Hyatt in Colombia has opened in the capital city of Bogota, and includes one of the largest urban spas in Latin America.

The 372-bedroom Grand Hyatt Bogota is located in the heart of Ciudad Empresarial Sarmiento, and its Zaitania Spa has 11 treatment rooms spread over 32,000sq ft (3,000sq m).

The spa, located on the hotel’s third floor, features three hydrotherapy pools, a steam room, dry sauna, relaxation room, beauty salon, indoor swimming pool and a fully equipped fitness centre.

Treatments will highlight native products from Colombia, with product lines including Sisley, Loto del Sur and Sothys.

In the mythology of the Muisca people, Zaitania was the era in which the world was created, when the god Chibchacum breathed life into a quinoa seed and another of corn, creating Sua, the sun god, and Chie, the moon goddess.

Sua and Chie have inspired two signature treatments: a four-hour Sua morning treatment begins with chia and lemon water, followed by foot reflexology; Turkish bath and sauna; a water circuit accompanied by a therapist; body exfoliation with oil, sea salt and macerated quinoa; massage; mini-facial and a light lunch.

The three-hour Chie evening treatment starts with a chica of corn, a sacred fermented drink used by the Muisca people, followed by a milk and citrus body bath, hot and cold stone massage, facial or scalp and head massage, and dinner at the Ushin restaurant or room service.

“We are thrilled to announce the opening of the first Grand Hyatt hotel in the country and are confident that Grand Hyatt Bogota will exceed expectations of all who visit the hotel,” said Myles McGourty, senior vice president, Latin America & Caribbean, Hyatt. “The hotel offers an iconic experience for worldly guests who seek first-class hospitality, best-in-class food and beverage and a luxurious stay.”
