Patio del Mundo is a charming boutique hotel tucked away in woodland gardens just a few minutes' walk from El Poblado, where you’ll find plenty of top quality restaurants, boutiques and bars.
It’s set in a renovated villa, and each classically-furnished room is subtly decorated to reflect the traditional décor of a clutch of contrasting places across the globe, including France, Africa, Mexico and Colombia.
The accent is on relaxation: there's a Jacuzzi; yoga, beauty and spa treatments can be arranged; you can swing in a hammock on the terrace and you can take breakfast on the patio, surrounded by tropical foliage. Indeed, with orchids and mango trees on display, you'll hardly believe you are on the edge of a huge city.
