The property features indoor vertical gardens that create a tranquil oasis within the historic structure, while the rooms themselves showcase colonial architecture with high ceilings and lavender blue walls in the colonial suites. Guests have access to a rooftop pool with 360° panoramic views of the old city and the Caribbean, one of the largest pools in the walled city.

The hotel houses Harry's Bar, the exclusive restaurant of renowned Colombian chef Harry Sasson, serving international cuisine with local influences in a lobby setting. Three on-site restaurants offer extensive menus of international and local cuisine, including an exclusive breakfast buffet featuring traditional Colombian dishes like made-to-order eggs and waffles. The dining area features an open roof and indoor vertical gardens, and guests can also order from a 24-hour room service menu.
