Policy For The Accommodation Of Minors
Accommodation with One or Both Parents (Biological or Adoptive):
If a minor of Colombian nationality visits OSH HOTELS accompanied by one of their parents, no authorization from the other parent is required.

The mandatory documents to present upon arrival (check-in) are:
• Original identification document of the adults.
• Original identification document of the minor.
• Civil birth certificate, which verifies the first degree of consanguinity (biological parent-child) or first degree of civil relationship (adoptive parent-child).
It is not permitted to use auxiliary criteria to prove consanguinity or civil relationship.
Accommodation with a Guardian:
The mandatory documents to present upon arrival (check-in) for a Colombian minor who is NOT accompanied by their parents but by a guardian, whether or not they are an employee of OSHPITALITY GROUP SAS, are:
• Original identification document of the adults.
• Original identification document of the minor.
• Public deed of testamentary guardianship or judicial ruling of legal or voluntary guardianship that confirms that one of the adults accompanying the Colombian minor is their legal guardian.
It is not permitted to use auxiliary criteria to prove guardianship or custody.

Accommodation of Foreign Minors:
The accommodation of foreign minors with parents, guardians, or responsible adults is permitted, provided they present the following documents:
