Medellín


This elegant place in the historic Prado neighborhood is a great base from which to explore the sights around the center. The spacious renovated rooms have high-beamed ceilings and touches of art throughout and there is a fine rooftop terrace. The decent on-site restaurant is open around the clock. Light sleepers might want a room at the rear.
