Medellín in the past two years has been a city with a growing number of tourists and an increasing number of hotels. This not only means the city is on the right growth path but also set to receive swarms of tourists in the coming years.
If you’re coming down to Medellín or at least thinking about it. You will get mixed responses as far as accommodations. Some will say the best option is a fully-furnished apartment. While others will recommend a hotel. Where not only will breakfast be taken care of but also convenience take center stage. So what are the best hotels in Medellin?
Before we begin, we want to clear up that we are by no means in favor of staying at a hotel in Medellín. It’s not that they’re not good, on the contrary, we have a couple of hotels that are sure to impress. But the idea of limited privacy is too much for us.
But, certain situations (solo travel and vacationing with children) do need giving a hotel room a second glance. So what are the best hotels in Medellín? Check out our take on our top 3 most popular hotels.
Best Hotel in Medellin – Hotel Diez Categoria Colombia
First on our list is Hotel Diez. This hotel was completed about 5 years ago and features a wide array of amenities that will help improve your Medellín experience. Each floor is set up to depict a specific region of the country and even the rooms are decorated with art and paintings of that region.
It’s located about 5 blocks from Parque Lleras and not only is the area safe. But it’s only a block away from the Provenza and Via Jardin strip which holds the city’s best restaurants.
The 5-star hotel has a pool on the terrace and spa area for deep relaxation and massages by experts.
I’d consider this hotel better suited for families and couple retreats. This is in large part because of the general feel of an ambiance created for a more calm vacation. Not recommended as much for groups of bachelors and groups looking for nighttime excursions. Not to mention they reserve their right to admission for overnight guests and also charge a fee if you have a female guest come over.
Hotel Park 10
Like the Hotel Diez, Park 10 is located 5 blocks from Parque Lleras. If you’re looking for comfort and tranquility this might be the best hotel in Medellin. Guests appreciate classic decoration and Park 10 looks like a smaller Ritz Carlton in a more tranquil area. Close enough to the action-packed Parque Lleras but far from the noise.
Park 10 is also a 5-star hotel that tends to keep more of a low profile. Due to it being more hidden than the other two hotels on this list. But that doesn’t take away merit from its luxury, friendly, knowledgeable staff, and great restaurant.
This hotel I’d say is also more for a different crowd than that of a bachelor party setting due to its business vibe. They will not tolerate late-night debauchery or noise. So avoid this hotel if you’re looking to come down with a group of guys for a bachelor party gathering.
The Charlee Lifestyle Hotel
The city’s most popular hotel for the wealthy, The Charlee is smack dab in the middle of Parque Lleras. Ideal hotel for group travelers looking to embark on more nighttime adventures than anything else.
The Charlee is the perfect combination of a luxury hotel with a wide range of guests. From families with children to single guys looking to party.
If you don’t mind the noise of partying on the street below, The Charlee might be the best hotel in Medellin. With a rooftop bar, a pool, amazing view, and sushi bar on the 18th floor, this is the preferred hotel of tourists looking for luxury and convenience. With suites starting from $150 a night to $400, the Charlee is not cheap but it will do the trick for solo travelers.
Accommodations in Medellín
A lot of you are wondering why we don’t speak in favor of hotels. The short answer is hotels hinder you from doing a lot of things. Especially if you’re here on a guys’ trip. Hotels are good because you get the convenience of not having to worry about breakfast, having a clean room, or even ordering dinner.
But in the comfort of your own apartment, the level of privacy you get is different. You might have to wake up and scramble your own eggs and make your bed. But if you have a lady friend with you, you don’t have to worry about paying a visitors’ fee at your apartment. You can avoid awkward stares in the elevator when children walk in asking how you got pinkeye.
