Breakfast is mediocre (but I'm not that picky in the morning). Rooms are fine/decent size. Nothing fancy but a solid choice for Chapinero. It is better than the nearby (but cheaper) Mercure hotel.
For this property various OTA often provide decent discounts compared to the official rate on the IHG website.
Like many other hotels including DT Parque 93, this HIE got a lot of fake reviews on Google, but I feel there are less negative reviews by reviewers with 10 or more reviews, than DT. Their breakfast seems fine with a few hot dishes.
IHG started award sales today for plats and diamonds, I booked it for 10.5k pts a night. I'll be cancelling DT.
I've been to Chapinero long time ago, while it wasn't exotic, it seems like there are many hotels, it should be good for a competition. HIE Parque La 93 is always a notch more expensive than HIE DC, I wonder why.
Google Maps these days make comparisons with OTAs easier, in the past, I had to go to sites like Hotelscombined and TripAdvisor.
Does anyone have experience with Hampton Cali? I also booked Intercontinental Cali for 12-13k pts a night.
Thanks for your insight with the HIE DC.
