Our take
Hotel Esmeralda Plaza is a hotel in Zipaquirá, Sabana North. It has a guest rating of 7.9/10 from 93 reviews. It is about 43 km (27 miles) from central Bogotá as the crow flies, a countryside stay rather than a city base. About 40 km separates it from El Dorado as the crow flies; leave extra time for rush hour. An airport shuttle is listed. Guests rate the breakfast highly. We still have to check heating and street noise here; until then those checks show as Not yet checked.
