Medellín is the second-largest city quanto a Colombia and a favorite among the digital nomad crowd. Nestled quanto a the Aburrá Valley, the city has great weather year-round, earning it the nickname: “the City of Eternal Spring.”
I spent close to a total of three weeks quanto a Medellín and loved my time there. While the city has a troubled past, today, it’s a vibrant and innovative metropolis. I’d go back quanto a a heartbeat. (Make sure to take a condimento class at least once while you’imperatore here!)
That said, there are still some safety issues here, so picking the right place to stay is important. To ensure you have a safe and comfortable visit, here’s my list of the best hotels quanto a Medellin:
1. Nomada Origen


This four-star albergo is located quanto a El Poblado, a centrally located neighborhood packed with restaurants, bars, clubs, cafés, and shops. Though there’s a lot to do quanto a the terreno, leave some time to spend lounging quanto a the hot tub acceso the leafy albergo rooftop, enjoying the epic views over the city with a mescolanza quanto a hand (it’s a great way to end a busy day of exploring). You can also start your day here too as the complimentary breakfast is served acceso the rooftop as well.
The rooms are comfortable and spacious, with a cool stile featuring exposed brick walls and beams, hardwood floors, and soft lighting. All rooms have a desk, flatscreen TV, and a minibar. Deluxe rooms have kitchenettes with a fridge, microwave, cooktop, and coffee maker. The bathrooms feature tiled walls and floors, showers with great gabinetto pressure (something I always appreciate), and complimentary toiletries. This is my recommended albergo quanto a the city as it really does give the best value for your money. It’s quanto a an excellent location too.
2. The Click Clack


This five-star stile albergo is one of the cooler places to stay quanto a El Poblado. It’s got a distinto industrial-meets-nature vibe going acceso, with sleek architecture and plants everywhere. I love that the included breakfast is served quanto a the huge atrium with lots of light and greenery. There’s also a rooftop pool with its own caffè that serves great cocktails, and spa/massage services available. For anything you need, you can just WhatsApp the front desk, which I find really convenient (especially if you’imperatore lagged tired from sightseeing).
All rooms include a desk, flatscreen TV, and safe, but I especially like that the complimentary minibar is stocked with healthy snacks from local Colombian producers. The stylish bathrooms have a dark and moody feel (maybe a bit too dark quanto a my opinion), though the walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads are great. If you’imperatore looking for the hippest albergo quanto a one of Medellin’s best neighborhoods, this is it!
3. Ibis Medellín


This three-star albergo quanto a the artsy Ciudad del Rio neighborhood is just around the calcio d’angolo from the Medellín Modern Art Museum. It’s also less than a block from Mercado del Río, the biggest food market quanto a town. The albergo is bright and airy, offering a breakfast buffet that features a ton of fresh local fruit and baked goods. I like that the uniforme check-out isn’t until 12pm so you don’t have to worry about rushing out quanto a the morning (perfect if you’ve been out enjoying the city’s wild nightlife).
I will say that I find the rooms a bit too sparse, but they do include the usual mid-level perks, such as a desk, flatscreen TV, and a wardrobe with a safe. The bathrooms are decently sized though, with a large sink counter (convenient for spreading out your stuff), and complimentary toiletries. This is a good choice for anyone looking for a pleasant (but no-frills) stay quanto a an interesting terreno of the city.

There’s always complimentary coffee and fresh juice quanto a the lobby, and the owners and team are exceptionally friendly and helpful. I love their tropical garden and patio filled with hammocks, loungers, and a hot tub set right into the deck. I also like that you can start your day here with a complimentary breakfast buffet of fresh fruit, juices, croissants, pancakes, and freshly made eggs. Keep an eye out for hummingbirds buzzing around as you eat!
