About Medellin

Medellín has become one of South America's most exciting urban escapes, where leafy neighbourhoods meet edgy design, rooftop pools glint above jungle-covered hills, and the hotel scene matches the city’s creative energy. From sleek suites designed for foodies to calm garden hideaways and affordable urban pads, the best places to stay in Medellín reflect the city's stylish reinvention — with something to suit every kind of traveller, whether you're here to explore or just unwind in comfort.

The heart of Medellín beats loudest in El Poblado, a vibrant district where the city’s best dining, shopping and nightlife converge. It’s also where many of Medellín’s most stylish hotels are found, making it a smart base for those keen to explore on foot. By day, stroll the leafy streets of Provenza, dotted with indie boutiques, third-wave cafés and galleries; come evening, rooftop bars come alive with DJs and cocktails — and some hotels even host the party themselves, making late nights effortlessly local.

But Medellín isn’t just about the buzz. Hop on the Metrocable and soar over the city’s hills to reach Santo Domingo and Arví Park, where you’ll find green trails and panoramic views. Back in the centre, wander among Fernando Botero’s iconic sculptures in Plaza Botero or visit the Museo Casa de la Memoria to better understand the city’s powerful transformation story. For a more immersive glimpse of Medellín’s resilience, join a walking tour of Comuna 13 — now one of the city’s most colourful and creative districts. Those after a quieter stay might prefer a base in the city’s more residential neighbourhoods, where larger rooms, family-friendly layouts and leafy surroundings offer a calm contrast to the urban pace. These spots are perfect for longer stays or anyone seeking a bit more peace and quiet!

Food lovers will feel especially at home here. From traditional bandeja paisa and buzzing street stalls to ambitious tasting menus led by renowned chefs, the city’s food scene is as diverse as its hotel offering. Whether you’re craving calm, design, or a rooftop to toast the view, the best places to stay in Medellín are woven into the city’s energy, making it easy to find the right fit for your trip.
