Patio del Mundo

0 1 2 3 4

A delightful upmarket boutique hotel in a tranquil garden oasis in a smart Medellin neighbourhood.

Patio del Mundo is a charming boutique hotel tucked away in woodland gardens just a few minutes’ walk from Medellín’s El Poblado, where you’ll find plenty of top quality restaurants, boutiques and bars.

It’s set in two renovated villas, and each classically-furnished room is subtly decorated to reflect the traditional décor of contrasting destinations, including France, Africa and Mexico.

The accent is on relaxation: there’s a hot tub, yoga, beauty and spa treatments; you can swing in a hammock on the terrace and take breakfast on the patio, surrounded by tropical foliage. Indeed, with orchids and mango trees on display, you’ll hardly believe you’re on the edge of a huge city.
