Thumbs up JW Marriott Bógota Master

I did a couple searches and didn't find any reviews of the new JW Marriott in Bógota. If there are any, please remove.
Stayed at the JW Marriott in Bógota on a one-night reward stay last night (a Saturday). Very very impressed.
It is an elegant and high-end hotel with significant security. When I arrived for check-in, they gave me very personalized attention, then had me go up to the ninth floor (executive floor) to check in, and was given detailed info about the hotel and executive lounge, then the bellman gave me a "tour" of the room. I had a king-sized room on the executive floor. There is a separate bath and shower, with lovely marble and hardwood decor.
The bed was very comfortable with great pillows. Large TV channel selection. A safe of course. Fluffy robes and slippers. All the amenities.
I didn't eat at any of the restaurants, but they looked quite lovely with an upscale business crowd. The executive lounge was the most impressive part. There was a full breakfast available. They would make omelettes if you wanted. Already out were benedictine eggs, french toast, bacon, sausage, cereals, fresh juices, yogurt, bread and various sweet rolls, empanadas, lots of fruits, some yogurt/fruit concoctions, cheese, salmon, other meats, a cappuccino/espresso machine. I'm sure I am forgetting things. It offers "tea service" after breakfast until late afternoon with various sweets. And in the evening there is an open bar plus quite an array of hot snacks such as mini-paninis, several kinds of cooked vegetable mixtures, a couple other cooked things, plantain chips and salsa, a few different desserts.
I used the gym which is quite nice. Technogym machines and weights with four treadmills, four ellipticals, a couple bikes. There is also a lap pool and Turkish sauna that I didn't try.
I would highly recommend this hotel. While at the JW Marriott in Rio de Janeiro last week, a fellow guest told me this hotel might be the nicest Marriott property he had stayed at. I might be inclined to agree with him.
