Posts: 6Hotels & Places That Are Chica-Friendly
So I'the like to contribute to this great site with a little info about chica-friendly hotels / apts in Medellin.
I went last year, and loved it. Will possible live there part time in the future. In any event, I did a little homework befpre taking off on the trip. I asked about this topic here on the forum last year, but did not see the responses until after I was already in Medellin. Hope this info helps some folks out there.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites.
This place was a great choice, since the hotel is attached to basically a small mall (centro commercial) where there are at least 20 different restaurants, bars and cafes, all kinds of food, very modern, really nice, I loved it. Took a couple of Colombian cupid dates here, very convenient. The hotel itself is chica friendly. You do have to pay $25 to take a chica up to your room. But they just add it your bill, so at least you don't have to fork out the cash at that moment. The girl shows her ID, she registers, and up you go. As long as everyone is discreet about it, not a problem. Took a couple of girls up this way, all went OK both times. I would definitely stay there again, great central location in El Poblado.
Blux Apartamentos.
I read about this place somewhere. Was going to book online, but decided to contact the management company instead. They were very nice, they showed me 4 different units, and chose one with a great view and a washer / dryer inside. This place was like the Ticuan Hotel in Tijuana. The girl arrives, the front desk calls your room to see if you are expecting a visitor, why yes I am, thank you, and the girl is knocking on your door a couple of minutes later. Easy peasy. The main downside is there's not a ton of places for food downstairs, I used the Rappi food delivery app a lot, and from that perspective found myself missing the multitude of options in Poblado.
Told About 2 more, but not verified personally.
I corresponded with a guy on another review site. He told me that he stayed at the Hotel Dann Carlton Medellin and the Hotel Poblado Plaza. Same sort of situation, you register the girl, she goes up with you, didn't tell me if you were charged additional for bringing the girl up, but it would not surprise me. He did tell me that he ran into a driver and hired him while he was in Medellin, so that definitely helped the cause at both hotels. Again, I haven't verified this info myself, but I thought it would be worth sharing, nonetheless.
I definitely prefer to stay in nicer places, nicer suites. I'm not looking to break the bank, but travel is one of the only things I splurge on, so the places I stayed at and the others mentioned are definitely up my alley. Hope this post helps, cheers.

I spent 3 months in an apartment in Laureles as well, no air conditioning, no fan. It was comfortable all day. Laureles does get a nice breeze almost every afternoon.
Temperature drops fairly quickly after sunset, which is about 6 pm year round. Daytime high is about 85°f during the dry season and 78°f during rainy season. Nighttime lows 60-64°f.
You'll find air conditioning in higher end apartments.

Where is this place "Llenas"? Are you talking about Parque Lleras? If so, it is in Poblado.

Posts: 6Air Conditioning
Hi everyone,
My friends and I are looking into AirBnB for an early November trip in Poblado or Llenas area. We find a number of locations don't have Air Conditioning. Someone that know that went said that there is always a cool breeze and his place had no AC.
Is AC needed even when doing the deed?
Thanks.

If chongos are a go for a chino-gringo, then its for sure on the horizons for the future.

Let's of tourists. The couple times I've stayed there were many Europeans.
The hotel is kind of remote although there are some small restaurants nearby and a decently short walk to an Exito market or the Metro.
The biggest problem can be getting a taxi. Especially on weekend nights or rainy days (like today).
Not too sure about their guest policy as when I was there I brought my own and checked in with me.
Barkey.

I had wondered about the pool. In certain places the info references a hot tub but pool and hot tub was the same pic. LOL And thanks for the night safety info. Easy to get complacent. Glad your story turned out well.

I wouldn't call what they have a "pool. " It's more of a tub, and not even a big one.
If you do stay there be alert walking up / down Calle 5 and 5 A to Avenida Poblado late at night. That's the only time I've had an attempted robbery in Medellin (and I spend time in Centro, occasionally at night). I turned the corner walking down the hill and two guys came at me with knives. I ran and easily avoided the situation, but it could have been different.

Can anyone provide info on the Sites Hotel, in Patio Bonito? I have searched for information on this site, but have come up empty. If nothing else, can someone point me to information on this property? They have the perfect situation for me: 1 br with a small kitchen, heated pool and small balcony. I have written them directly regarding their guest policy, but they have yet to respond. Thanks in advance to those who refrain from RTFF, as I have tried! LOL.

Medellin threads are more active because more people go to Medellin. It's cheaper, has a better climate and has more options for your mongering pleasure.
