Boutique Hotels in El Poblado, Medellín

The small independents, design hostels and aparthotels that give El Poblado its character — most of them a couple of blocks from Parque Lleras.

El Poblado’s side streets are full of small hotels: converted houses in Provenza, design-led independents on Carrera 37A, aparthotels a block above the park. They rarely have gyms or big pools, but they have location, character and — on the quieter streets — a decent night’s sleep. This is the shortlist.

Boutiques between the park and Provenza

Carrera 37, 37A and Calle 8A form a small triangle that is close to everything and just off the loudest blocks. Most of the district’s best boutiques are here.

Boutique hostels

El Poblado’s hostels are often the most boutique-feeling places in the district. Los Patios in Provenza (Carrera 35 #7-91) has a rooftop bar that hosts bar crawls; Masaya near the Milla de Oro (Calle 8 #43A-89) has a rooftop pool; Rango, Selina and Purple Monkey are the other established names. All offer private rooms as well as dorms.

Search boutique and small hotels on Expedia

A note on “hotels” that are apartmentsBooking sites list many “Lleras” or “Poblado” branded properties that are in fact short-term-rental apartment blocks with hotel-style names. Some are fine; some have been the subject of the city’s short-term-rental crackdown. We only list properties that operate as hotels or hostels. If a listing has no reception, no reviews mentioning staff, and a party-oriented name, treat it as an apartment rental and read the reviews carefully.
