This was my very first solo travel experience, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose El Cielo Hotel Medellín. From the moment I arrived, the staff treated me with such warmth and attentiveness (especially once they realized I was traveling alone). I never once felt out of place; instead, I felt looked after and truly at home.||The hotel itself is stunning, down to every thoughtful detail. My room felt lavish! My room had a deep bathtub that was perfect for unwinding. I loved the complimentary minibar, which included daily restocks of beer, mocktails, and snacks (yes, all free!). The pool area quickly became my little sanctuary during the day. I love to lap swim and portion of the pool looks directly bleow to hotel lobby and monsteras! The drinks are also delicious. It is luxury. The hotel is a prime location. I walked everywhere, and as a woman traveling solo, I felt very safe doing so.||The food is excellent across the board. Breakfast gave me the choice of going light and healthy or leaning into local dishes. The last two mornings I went local! And if you’re staying here, you must do the Michelin-starred dining experience at El Cielo. It was a highlight of my trip. This experience consists of beautifully curated courses that tell the story of Colombia’s diverse regions and culture. Was impressed and felt very connected my culture.
||Special thanks to Viviana R. and Monica, who went above and beyond during my stay. They not only ensured everything ran smoothly but also helped me secure reservations for the El Cielo dining experience, arranged a massage right in the hotel, lined up a private tour guide, and even coordinated transportation to and from airport. Their care and attention made me feel truly supported throughout.||Whether you’re traveling solo like me or coming with friends or a partner, El Cielo is the perfect place to balance adventure and comfort: go explore Medellín’s incredible gastronomy, culture, and nightlife, then return here to rest, reset, and feel completely at ease.||I absolutely hope to return!
