hotel The hotel that is literally closet to the American Embassy (I assume you want the American Embassy) is one called Hotel de la Feria www.hotelesestelar.com but the hotel Capital www.ghl.com.co and the Four Points Sheraton www.starwood.com are also very close.

Calle 70 # 6-22

[This is a Bed & Breakfast style House or Hacienda with 7 rooms, which people
have said is homey & safe with an on-site owner 24/7 who has been kind
enough to sometimes even look over some visa applicants' papers.]

The question is... Why do you want to be near the embassy? It seems you've been glued to your TV and watched to many movies of Americans saved from evil forces when they finally reach the embassy gate opened by a sparkling marine. Hey... am I right? Chill out and enjoy your stay in Colombia... suspend your USA Today subscription, remove CNN from your TV and discover the REAL Colombia. Paranohia kills dude...
