While we'd been staying in Medellin for a few weeks, a friend got us some time at the Intercontinental. The room was huge, and comfortable for our family with two children. The pool was the best for us; the beautiuflly cool nights in Medellin ensure that a pool must be heated or else it will be cold! This was was... more

This property is an InterContinental hotel in name only - certainly not by standards. Check-in was abysmal. Front desk staff kept walking by without acknowledeing my presence. Finally, after about 3-5 minutes, I was dismissively addressed. The hotel did not want to respect the rate and amenities I got from my Expedia reservation even though I had the reservation and... more

Considered one of the better hotels in Medellin. Approx 30-40 minutes from the airport. Be sure to call the hotel in advance to have someone pick you up. While they may pick you up in a personal vehicle, it is an easy and safe way to get around. The hotel has a very friendly and helpful staff that speaks English.... more

This a very nice hotel with great grounds and great staff. First the positives: very nice grounds; great restaurants on site, including a great poolside bar/restaurant; wonderful swimming pool; and wonderful service. The negatives are that the hotel is pretty far from both downtown Medellin (20 minutes) and Medellin Airport (40 minutes); and little annoyances like having to pay $4... more

I stayed for three nights at the Intercontinental in Medellin with a colleague. There was an international conference in Medellin at the time but the hotel still wasn't too busy. Our room was quite small and there was a murky cigarette smell in the room. The beds were comfy and the bathroom clean. Apparently there are rooms with kitchenettes as... more

Well, let's say that the IC website paints a different picture than reality for this hotel. Yes, the location is upscale, but there's really nowhere to go without a taxi. The closest store is a half-mile downhill, which means an uphill walk back. Hatoviejo is right across the street, but that's about it. I seriously doubt the King of Spain... more

By far the best and most important hotel in Medellin. The remodeling has done wonders, from the rooms to the pool to the newly installed wine bar. Keep in mind, along with the state-of-the-art wine bar, there is also another bar, a club, a cafe, an indoor buffet-style restaurant, a wonderful outdoor restaurant serving amazing steak and fun cook-your-own hot... more

I've stayed in the Interconti for my businesstrip towards Pensilvania. The Intercontinental Medellin is a safe and comfortable place to stay for both tourists and business. There are better options in Medellin but for the first time visitting Columbia it's a good place from where you can start finding out more about the streetlife and other hotel / dining options.... more

Very clean and comfortable remodelled room on Club Floor. Nice facilities in general even if it is clear that the hotel is not yet completely renovated. more
