The 5 Best Hotels in Medellín (Updated 2025)

"This three-star hotel in the artsy Ciudad del Río neighborhood is bright and airy and sits right around the corner from the Medellín Modern Art Museum and less than a block from Mercado del Río, the city’s biggest food market. I appreciated the breakfast buffet full of fresh local fruit and baked goods and the relaxed 12pm checkout. The rooms are a bit sparse but include the usual mid-level perks—a desk, flatscreen TV, and a wardrobe with a safe—and the bathrooms are decently sized with a large sink counter and complimentary toiletries. It’s a pleasant, no-frills choice if you want to stay in an interesting area without fuss." - Matthew Kepnes
