A sustainable boutique hotel in Medellin’s El Poblado neighbourhood.

Quinta Ladera sits on a quiet residential street in the lively neighbourhood of El Poblado and is a hotel with a strong sustainability ethos at its core. Its 20 guest rooms, decorated in a palette of muted tones, have a calming, minimalist aesthetic and feature works by Colombian artists and artisans. Some rooms offer private terraces with hammocks, while family rooms sleep up to four guests thanks to a mezzanine bed. In keeping with the hotel’s natural philosophy, there are no TVs or air conditioning.

Throughout the hotel there are multiple inviting communal areas in which to unwind after exploring Medellín. These include a comfortable lounge, a sun terrace, and a peaceful courtyard with a pond at the centre of the property. The hotel’s restaurant, Ganso & Castor, serves traditional French cuisine and is open for breakfast and lunch. Many of El Poblado’s excellent restaurants, cafés, and bars are within easy walking distance.
