5/5
Location was great, easy to get in and out of- I liked that it was just outside of El Poblado. When picking a hotel, we wanted to make sure it was safe for our family and we felt that the entire time. The staff did a great job- my kids had fun on the playground, swimming in the pool (food service was also very good here, convenient to be able to charge to our room), restaurant, room, minibar, laundry service was great- very convenient. We LOVED the breakfast! Huge selection. We ate at one of the on-site restaurants at night and the portions were generous and very good. Although the hotel in general was a bit understaffed, they definitely did a great job accommodating us. Whenever we go back to Medellin, we will definitely be staying here at the Intercontinental ❤️

I liked this hotel a lot. I am platinum member and I was upgraded with executive lounge access. They have food there from 2pm onward. That was very handy. Food was good. They have free clay tennis courts. Nobody begged for tips like in Bogota or gave attitude. Pool was warm. Steam room was good. Macaws were passing above the pool in the morning.
