Casa Blanca Medellin

[QUOTE=HuskerDude;2979174]Yes, true, M2 will NOT reopen. The Mansion is gone. I stayed in the Novelty Suites close to the old Mansion by Oviedo mall in Dec. & it is pretty good there. No partying, but guests (chicas) enter free before 10 pm, only check ID at desk & you escort them down when through. After 10 PM. , I believe it's like 130 K. The hotel is descent and great breakfast buffet that's included. Also has good restaurant on site.[/QUOTE]I thought there was a new hotel almost right next door to the Mansion at a decent price too. But I guess without the Mansion bar, it's value for us is greatly diminished.

Interested to know if anyone tried to request a deposit refund. I have almost $100 of advanced deposit and can't get a reply from anyone at the hotel.

Please share any information that could be helpful.

Georges.

Georges.[/QUOTE]I believe you have 0 % chance of getting a refund. *****houses don't give refunds.

Any updates on Gregg? I know he was having a rough time of it.

[QUOTE=Rover2;2980657]Any updates on Gregg? I know he was having a rough time of it.[/QUOTE]You are right about a 0% chance of the guy getting a deposit back. The Mansion is gone, no more! Greg was in bad health. Last I heard, the former night Mansion guy Juan Carlos was helping taking care of him. He has moved out of M2. Don't know where to.

M1 is being torn down. My buddy took these photos of the demolition.

And M2 is for sale.

So the Mansion is no longer. Is there a new go-to "mansion"? Any potentials?

"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. ".[/QUOTE]Yes, however, towards the end the Casa Blanca had been neglected, girls were prohibited from socializing around the pool deck area, the cushions of the couches for the men around the pool deck were stained and tattered, many room safes were non-functional and the staff were not much help. All of the bathroom towels were shreds- I am not exaggerating, everyone will agree with me on this!

10 years ago that place was wonderful! Quality and friendship among men. Beautiful women who made it like the Playboy Mansion.

Aussie Greg put no money into maintaining the house. Yet Aussie Greg continued to charge Gringo prices $$$ and suck the gringos for more money that a stay was worth. My last stay was only one night in February, 2024, and I was glad to leave. Glad its gone.

I've stayed at the Mansion twice and liked it even though yes the towels were shredded. Pool life was non-existent but the breakfast, security and bar were all still pretty good. Now that the Mansion is gone, just wondering where most of you former guests will choose to stay now on future trips?

A lot more expensive like 160/ night but I love it. Very strict on chicas ID. No fees before 10 pm. Heard lots of guys staying in Laureles San Peters apartments. Trouble with that is it's very noisy. No limits of chicas visiting, must check in & out.

I've pulled a few chicas from the Medellin Sports Bar downstairs too.

I would think they might be too far for the girls at Parque Lleras to walk to though.

With all the different options in Medellin with very little effort!
