Laureles Loft

Medellín


In a quiet street just a couple of blocks from the best dining options in the heart of Laureles, this bright and professionally run hotel is popular with business travelers. The standard rooms are tidy and comfortable although some can feel a bit closed in. The best choice are the spacious, light-filled lofts.
