Really cool vibe at this hotel. The rooftop bar has spectacular views and the food/cocktails are excellent. We almost felt guilty eating here too often because while we wanted to check out other locations, the food here was so good! (Try the club sandwich. It is excellent). The staff are really excellent, they go above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of and this is a pretty quiet hotel for El Poblado.

I had an amazing stay! As a solo female traveler, safety is always a top priority for me, and I felt completely comfortable and secure the entire time. The staff were kind, welcoming, and attentive they truly made the experience even better. It’s located in a prime location so it’s close to everything. The deluxe room was very spacious, clean, and well-maintained, which made my stay feel relaxing and luxurious. I also loved the rooftop bar, such a great vibe and the perfect spot to unwind. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone, especially solo travelers!

Hidden gem in Medellin. Very cool property and the rooms were spacious and spotless. Great location with walking distance to the night life but tucked away. The staff was great and helpful, breakfast was included. This hotel is great for couples or solo travellers. The room was designed to have a very high end feel with great finishes. We can’t wait to come back.
