Fodor's Expert Review The Orchids Hotel

A true boutique-hotel experience, The Orchids offers guests the chance to "live" in La Candelaria, thanks to its convenient location around the corner from the Museo Botero and the Teatro Colón, and its rich, Republican-era decor. The hotel's interior is detailed and opulent, with antiques scattered throughout. Each suite, named for a famous opera, is unique, with 10-foot ceilings and curtains that cover floor-to-ceiling windows; some even have a fireplace, lit at your request, and a freestanding tub.
