Medellin is well-known as an important business center, and is regularly visited by entrepreneurs and executives. This fact, in addition to the health-care tourism, regularly scheduled fairs and academic, cultural, and sporting events, or just the pleasure of getting to know the city, make of Medellin a first class tourist destination.
In Medellin, visitors can choose from an offer of more than 200 accommodation facilities, most located in business areas and tourist sectors, featuring amenities and budgets for all tastes and pockets.
Many of the high-end hotels are located in the exclusive El Poblado neighborhood, which has experienced a business and institutional expansion of considerable proportions as of late, though we cannot forget the increasing offer of good quality lodging in the west end of the city. In the environs of the Carrera 70 Street, as well as in the Laureles, El Estadio and La Floresta neighborhoods, visitors can benefit from executive-class hotels offering proximity to downtown and easy access to the city’s Metro System.
On the other hand, lodging facilities located in downtown’s historic center, offer a number of alternatives that satisfy anybody’s budget, and of course there are those facilities meriting architectural heritage recognition that add value to the guests’ experience. In addition, backpackers find downtown a convenient location for their casual informal manner of experiencing the city.
Likewise, just 40 minutes from downtown Medellin and in the environs of the José María Córdova International Airport, visitors can find the quiet and peaceful surroundings of the countryside in the lodging facilities located in the Llanogrande area.
Medellin is a quality destination for the traveler any time of the year, always ready to provide a warm hospitable welcome to every visitor, who get the characteristic friendliness of Paisas (as people from this region are called), while having the pleasure of being in a metropolis that has so much to offer and experience.
