June 13, 20233 yr Active Members Can anyone recommend some mid-range hotels in a safe, nice area? I have a Colombian friend who will be staying with me for a week. Do Medellin hotels have any problems with a local joiner? Thank you.
June 14, 20233 yr Art Hotel Boutique Medellin (or The Art Hotel Medellin) in Poblado Carrera 41: Coming with a guy and checking him in as a regular guest for the whole stay wasn't a problem. But overnight guests strictly forbidden as posted at the reception.
June 17, 20233 yr Haven A Design hotel, lovely hotel with heated roof pool and good breakfast served in the roof terrace, completely safe area plenty of bars and restaurants in a walking distance. No problem checking in your Colombian friend as a regular guest for the whole stay that's what I did couple months ago too.
June 21, 20233 yr Active Members Will quickly add that the hotels will NOT have any issue with your guest for the week (Colombian or otherwise) if registered with a valid cédula civil. What they are concerned about is using the premises for multiple sexual encounters which indicates prostitution which carries penalties for the property. Have posted about this before. So most hotels and buildings want to colour within the lines in Medellín and avoid issues with police -- like an inspection of guest visitor logs which hotels keep by law. My suggestion (for all travellers to Medellín) is to treat your security guard (vigilante) with great respect -- offer them a coffee, an empanda, hell, buy them lunch if you are getting food -- and most of them will look out for you and not report what you are up to with guests. Most Paisas are fine with gay visitors but don't piss them off and you should be just fine.
