The hype
Travelers obsess over the 'jungle-chic' design and the staff's warmth, but the small room sizes catch many off guard.
23Hotel Medellin
$100-160/ notte
Prenota se You want a sexy, adults-only hideaway in El Poblado that feels like a tropical treehouse but is just steps from the best dinner spots.
Perché piace così tanto
- The 'circular window' rooms are instant Instagram gold
- Rooftop pool and jacuzzi bar that actually feels exclusive, not a frat party
- Located in Provenza but just uphill enough to escape the thumping bass of Parque Lleras
In sintesi: A stunningly designed boutique hotel that trades square footage for style—hope you didn't bring big suitcases.
Recensito da @44nouns: I honestly felt like I was living inside a sci-fi movie set here. The mix of raw concrete and massive ferns is stunning. Waking up in that circular window nook was the highlight of my trip to Medellin. Definitely grab a drink on the rooftop at sunset!
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check

- You prioritize aesthetics and design over massive floor plans
- You want a grown-up, adults-only vibe without kids splashing nearby
- You plan to spend your days exploring cafes and your nights at the rooftop bar

💡You have to walk up stairs to get to the rooftop even if you take the elevator to the top floor.
