Camelia by Masaya Collection
Modern comfort inside the old town's oldest streets
About this hotel
Camelia by Masaya Collection sits inside La Candelaria's historic footprint, one of the district's best-rated locations, close enough to the Luis Angel Arango Library, five minutes on foot, and the Church of Our Lady of Candelaria, roughly four hundred meters off, to treat the old town's landmarks as a natural extension of the stay. Rooms come with private bathrooms, work desks, minibars, TVs, and wardrobes, modern comfort inside a colonial-district address. The on-site restaurant serves local cuisine for lunch and dinner, with buffet breakfast included every morning. Bolivar Square sits under a kilometer away, walkable in a few unhurried minutes through the neighborhood's cobbled streets and colonial facades that give La Candelaria its distinct, historic character throughout the district.

Our take
Camelia works well for travelers who want modern hotel comfort without leaving La Candelaria's colonial core, with the restaurant and proximity to the Church of Our Lady of Candelaria genuine advantages worth booking around. The five-minute walk to the Luis Angel Arango Library keeps culture close at hand. It suits sightseeing-focused stays more than nightlife-driven ones, since the district quiets down earlier than Chapinero most evenings.
- ✓Walk to the Church of Our Lady of Candelaria in the late afternoon, about four hundred meters, before the light fades.
- ✓Eat at least one dinner in the on-site restaurant, which serves local cuisine rather than a generic hotel menu.
- ✓Visit Bolivar Square early, under a kilometer away, before the plaza fills with midday visitors and vendors.

Why guests love itWe ate dinner at the hotel restaurant twice and both meals leaned genuinely local rather than generic, a nice surprise for an in-house hotel menu. The Church of Our Lady of Candelaria was close enough for an evening walk, and Bolivar Square took under fifteen minutes on foot most mornings before the plaza filled up with the day's very first crowds.
