Who this guide is for
This guide is for the American who travels to Bogotá alongside an appointment at the US Embassy. That is often a partner at a K-1 (fiancé) or CR-1 (spouse) visa interview, or parents finishing an international adoption.
It covers where to stay, how to reach the embassy, and how to plan the days around the appointment. It doesn't cover what the applicant should bring or say. For that, the embassy's own instructions are the only source to follow.
If your Colombian partner prefers to read about hotels in Spanish, our sister site hoteles-bogota.com covers Bogotá in Spanish.
Where the embassy is
The US Embassy is in Salitre, on the west side of Bogotá near Avenida El Dorado (Calle 26), the road between the airport and the center. Corferias, the city's main convention center, is close by.
That location helps with logistics. Hotels next to the embassy are about 9 km (6 miles) from El Dorado as the crow flies, and about 4 to 5 km from La Candelaria, the historic center.
Salitre has more than 340 places to stay in our data, including more than 170 hotels, the most of any area we cover. Read more on our hotels in Salitre page.

For couples: K-1 and CR-1 interviews
Most couples want two things on interview day: a short trip to the embassy and a calm place to wait. A hotel within about 0.5 km covers the first, and a hotel restaurant or lobby covers the second.
Hotel Embassy Park is a 4-star hotel about 0.4 km from the embassy, with a 24-hour front desk and a restaurant. Fairfield by Marriott Bogota Embajada is about 0.5 km away and has a guest rating of 9.2/10, with breakfast and a restaurant listed.
Wyndham Bogota, a 5-star hotel at a similar distance, lists a 24-hour front desk, parking, and a fitness center. Hotel Expo Inn Embajada, about 0.3 km from the embassy, is the closest hotel in our data.
Check the embassy's instructions on whether companions may go inside or need to wait elsewhere, and plan for both. If the rest of your trip depends on the outcome, book a rate you can change.

For adoption families
Adoption trips usually run longer than a single interview, and the embassy visit comes near the end. Many families spend most of the stay in one area and move closer to the embassy for the final appointments.
Close to the embassy, family rooms are listed at Hotel Expo Inn Embajada, De Película Hotel, Blue House Corferias, Hotel Fontana Bogotá - Corferias, and HOTEL MX BOGOTA. Hilton DoubleTree Bogotá Salitre AR, about 1.3 km away, lists family rooms, a spa, and a free airport shuttle.
For weeks with a young child, a kitchen helps. Mr. Huésped is an apartment in Salitre about 4 km from the embassy, with family rooms and breakfast listed and a guest rating of 9.2/10 from more than 1,000 reviews. Our apartments in Bogotá and family hotels in Bogotá pages list more options.
Hotels in Colombia check children's identity at check-in, so keep each child's documents with you. Our guide to hotel rules in Colombia explains what front desks ask for.
Getting to the embassy
From the hotels in the table, the embassy is close, but the main avenues around it are wide. If you plan to walk, check the route on a map the day before and do it in daylight.
For an early appointment, ask the front desk the evening before to book a taxi, or use a ride-hailing app. A 24-hour front desk is listed at Hotel Expo Inn Embajada, Hotel Embassy Park, and Wyndham Bogota, among others.
From farther away, allow a wide margin. Parque 93 is about 7 km from the embassy and La Candelaria about 4 to 5 km, and traffic can double journey times at rush hour.
From El Dorado
Hotels next to the embassy are about 9 km from the airport. An airport shuttle is listed at Hotel Expo Inn Embajada, Hotel Embassy Park, Fairfield by Marriott Bogota Embajada, and Wyndham Bogota. Confirm the schedule with the hotel before you land.
Watch the Corferias calendar
Corferias sits a few hundred meters from many of these hotels. Hotel Fontana Bogotá - Corferias is about 0.3 km from it, and ExpoStay Hotel Corferias Embajada Americana about 0.4 km.
During large trade fairs, hotels around the embassy fill early and rates rise. Check the Corferias calendar as soon as you have an appointment date, and see our hotels near Corferias for the overlap.
The rest of your trip
Once the appointment is done, many couples and families spend a few days elsewhere in the city. Compare the 8 areas on our where to stay in Bogotá page, from the museums of La Candelaria to the quiet streets of Usaquén.
