The hype
Travelers love the massive rooms and the heated pool, but the decor is starting to feel like a 2010 time capsule.
San Fernando Plaza
$95-150/คืน
จองหาก You want the 'Wolf of Wall Street' Medellin vibe—business luxury on the Golden Mile—without the Manhattan price tag.
ทำไมคนถึงชอบ
- Prime Golden Mile location near La Strada and Oviedo malls
- Heated rooftop pool that actually stays warm (82°F+)
- Breakfast buffet that guests consistently rate as 'best in class'
สรุปด่วน: A polished, slightly aging business hotel that feels like a steal until you get hit with the strict guest registration fees.
รีวิวโดย @cvvergara1: Checking into San Fernando Plaza felt like a total upgrade. My room had incredible city views, and that sunset by the pool with a glass of wine was the perfect reset. It’s right on the Golden Mile, so the location is unbeatable for a luxury solo trip.

Reality check
The '5-star' rating is more of a solid 4-star by international standards; don't expect ultra-modern tech or brand-new carpets.
- You need a reliable workspace and fast Wi-Fi
- You want to be close to El Poblado's nightlife but sleep in a quiet zone
- You appreciate a classic, old-school hotel service style
ความสะอาดและการบำรุงรักษา
8.8
- Housekeeping: Diligent but aggressive. They clean thoroughly but will knock early if you don't have the sign up.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though some guests have reported slow-draining sinks or minor grout wear in older rooms.
- Maintenance: Good overall, but watch out for 'tired' AC units and the occasional reported ceiling leak in top-floor rooms.
- Linens & towels: Crisp white cotton, hotel-standard. Towels are plentiful but not overly plush.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers and polish; rooms are neutral, though some lower floors can smell of exhaust if windows are open.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย & เคล็ดลับที่ซ่อนอยู่
ทุกสิ่งที่คุณต้องการรู้จริงๆ ก่อนที่จะจอง
Is it guest friendly?
Yes, but strictly regulated. You must register any guest at check-in and pay the ~99,000 COP fee if they stay overnight.
Is the pool actually heated?
Yes, it is consistently heated, which is rare for Medellin rooftop pools.
How far is Lleras Park?
It's about a 15-20 minute walk or a 5-minute Uber ride. Close enough to party, far enough to sleep.
Does the hotel offer airport shuttle?
Yes, but it's a paid service (~$40 USD). Uber or a white airport taxi is often cheaper.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's a highlight—huge buffet with local arepas, fresh tropical fruit, and eggs to order.
Is the Wi-Fi good for video calls?
Yes, speeds are generally reliable (20Mbps+) in rooms, suitable for Zoom/Teams.
เคล็ดลับท่องเที่ยว
- ✨
The 'Spezia' restaurant has a great wine list, but service slows down significantly after 8 PM.
- ✨
Ask for a 'turndown service' explicitly if you want evening towel refreshment; it's not automatic.
- ✨
The gym is better than average, with free weights and decent cardio machines, but go early (6 AM) to beat the business crowd.
5 สิ่งที่ต้องรู้ก่อนเดินทาง
💡The 'cleaning lady' starts rounds very early (around 8 AM)—use your Do Not Disturb sign religiously.
💡There is a $100 USD fine for smoking that they will charge without hesitation if they smell smoke.
💡The hair dryers are old-school wall-mounted units that overheat; bring your own if you have thick hair.
💡You can walk to 'San Fernando Plaza' (the mall next door) without really going 'outside'—great for rainy afternoons.
💡The lobby bar makes a killer Gin & Tonic that isn't on the main menu—ask the bartender.
