Four Seasons Hotel Bogota is a reworking of the city’s former Hotel Charleston and when it opens in April, the group said it will “usher in a new era in luxury hospitality in one of the world’s most exciting destinations”.

The completely remodelled building joins the just-opened Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina Bogota.

More than half of the Four Seasons Hotel Bogota inventory will be suites and all have been designed by Lauren Rotett, of US practice Rotett Studio, which has an extensive portfolio of corporate and hospitality projects.

The hotel is in the heart of the city’s Zona T, where there are several blocks of pedestrian-only streets with restaurants, nightspots and Calle de la Moda, or Fashion Avenue.

“Our two Four Seasons hotels in Bogota complement each other, and both are unlike any other in the world,” said general manager Luis Argote, who grew up in the city.

Bathrooms have been completely replaced, and in-room technology overhauled throughout, while a new spa will offer treatments by French brand Biologique Recherche.

Four Seasons will also launch Kuru, overseen by chef Pablo Penalosa and inspired by Japanese robata grill cooking. The grill features prominently at the centre of the restaurant, which also has a sushi bar and has been given streetfront and back terraces by designer Saul Sasson.

Politiet i Stockholm får ikke lenger lov å oppgi etnisitet, hudfarge, nasjonalitet eller på annen måte beskrive signalement på antatte gjerningspersoner som begår lovbrudd, av frykt for å bli oppfattet som rasistisk.

Fra tirsdag kveld kan du høre David Bowies «Changes» i klokkespillet i Oslo rådhus, skriver nrk.no/ostlandssendingen. Låten blir spilt hver kveld kl.19.

– Jeg sitter og arrangerer låten nå, sier klokkenist Laura Marie Rueslåtten Olseng til NRK mandag kveld.

Olseng sier videre at det var en felles beslutning på Rådhuset om å spille en av Bowies sanger, etter at de i løpet av dagen hadde fått mange henvendelser fra folk som ønsket dette, blant dem tidligere ordfører Fabian Stang (H). 

Det er Ed Sheeran-låten “Thinking out Loud” som nå byttes ut med “Changes” på rådhusklokkenes spilleliste.

Det tyske utenriksdepartementet er blant de mange som hyller David Bowie i dag, etter at det ble kjent at rockelegenden var død i en alder av 69 år.

Nettstedet eurobserver.com skriver blant annet dette om tysk UDs twitter-melding og siste hilsen til Bowie:

Germany’s foreign ministry in a message posted on Twitter thanked David Bowie for “helping to bring down the wall”, referring to the wall that divided Berlin during the Cold War.

David Bowie bodde i Vest-Berlin fra 1976 til 1978, og spilte inn tre album der.
