WHERE TO STAY
The price of hotels in Medellin is low, so take the opportunity to get yourself a beautiful hotel room right in the center of town! Make sure you stay in the El Poblado / Laureles area - where you'll want to be for anything tourist.
Stunning hotel that will make you feel like you're in the jungle of Tulum, but with the streets of Medellin right below :)
Great hotel option right in the heart of El Poblado & a popular rooftop bar on top of the hotel!
Tucked away in a quieter part of the El Poblado neighborhood, you will enjoy the peace and quite that this jungle city has to offer while still being only a walk away from the hustle & bustle of the city!
A quieter hotel to stay at with less commotion but still beautiful and well kept!
You can't go wrong with any of these hotels, they are funky, decorated well, and clean! Enjoy your time in Medellin :)
Smaller, boutique hotel option - still in the heart of El Poblado :)
