Art Homes 85 Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Art Homes 85 feels more like visiting a friend’s stylish apartment than checking into a typical hotel. The building itself — Edificio Universal — has this understated elegance that fits perfectly with Chapinero’s creative vibe. You know what struck me immediately? The way they’ve managed to create something that feels both contemporary and welcoming without trying too hard. It’s a three-star property, but honestly, the attention to detail rivals places charging twice as much. The design philosophy here emphasizes quality over ostentation, making it an excellent choice for discerning travelers.

Location & Neighborhood

Chapinero is where Bogotá really comes alive, and Art Homes 85 sits right in the sweet spot of it all. I mean, there’s a reason couples rate this location 9.7 out of 10 — you’re walking distance from some of the city’s best restaurants, galleries, and that whole Zona Rosa scene. The neighborhood has this perfect mix of local authenticity and international flair that makes you feel like you’re experiencing the real Bogotá. Plus, having free private parking here is actually a big deal — anyone who’s tried to park in this part of the city will tell you that. The accessibility to cultural attractions and dining venues is truly exceptional.

The Rooms

The rooms at Art Homes 85 live up to the “art” in the name without being pretentious about it. Each space feels thoughtfully designed, with local artwork and modern furnishings that actually make sense together. What I really appreciated was how they’ve maximized the space — these aren’t huge rooms, but they’re smart rooms. The beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the bathrooms are well-appointed with good water pressure. There’s also this nice balance of having everything you need without feeling cluttered. Every detail contributes to an overall sense of refined comfort.

Breakfast & Amenities

The American breakfast here is solid and filling — think eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and good coffee that’ll fuel you for a day of exploring Bogotá. It’s not elaborate, but it’s done well and consistently. What sets this place apart though is how the staff seems to genuinely care about your experience. They’re knowledgeable about the neighborhood and happy to point you toward hidden gems that most tourists miss. The whole operation feels personal in a way that’s becoming rare these days. This attentiveness extends to all guest interactions throughout your stay.

Why Guests Love It

Art Homes 85 works because it doesn’t try to be something it’s not — it’s a well-run, thoughtfully designed place that puts you right where you want to be in Bogotá. The 9.3 rating makes sense when you experience how everything just flows smoothly, from check-in to checkout. Couples especially seem to connect with the intimate scale and the romantic energy of the Chapinero location. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next visit to Bogotá before you’ve even left. The combination of location, service, and design creates a memorable experience.
