61Prado Guesthouse

$ | Calle 61 No. 50A–60, Medellín, Colombia

A refreshing alternative to staying in tourist-heavy El Poblado, this friendly guesthouse is close to the historic center and offers a decidedly different view of Medellín. The neighborhood is quite safe, with little corner cafés nearby for a snack or breakfast; it's best to take taxis at night. Rooms are comfortable, with a good bed and shower, satellite TV, and standing fan. There are pleasant common areas to relax, including a rooftop patio, and the little on-site restaurant has a few surprisingly good dishes for dinner, and a well-done and affordable à la carte breakfast.

Aité

$$$ | Colombia Fodor's Choice

Bungalows dot the beach between arching coco palms while the main house, open-air lounge, and restaurant perch on a hill taking in expansive views of the surrounding forest and wave-swept beach---this is the scene at Aité. The well-constructed bungalows maintain a cool atmosphere with ceiling fans that help keep the oppressive heat at bay and screened sliding doors that allow fresh air in, but keep invading insects out. The beds are welcoming yet firm and oversized pillows add luxury, while details like a shower with beach views and a deck hung with hammocks make the bungalows a perfect setting for a relaxing beach holiday. The hotel is enchanting at night, as starlike solar lights create pathways between the main house and the bungalows.

Alfiz Hotel

$$$$ | Calle Cochera del Gobernador #33--28, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

Airy public areas blending whitewashed walls and exposed original brickwork with a lush green minigarden in the middle are perfectly in tune with this ancient city’s style. The cool interiors of guest rooms, which are impeccably furnished with dark-wood antiques, complete the glance into the way the wealthy lived in Cartagena in colonial times. The building, lovingly restored over two years, is typical of early traders' homes, with the high-ceilinged first floor used for warehousing and the second floor as living quarters. Each of the eight rooms is carefully decorated to tell the story of a different era in the city's history, and many details, including the oversized brass showerheads and elaborate woodwork, were crafted by local artisans. The walls are well over a foot thick, keeping rooms cool and insulated from all but the most gentle reminders of salsa from the party in the streets outside.

Anandá Hotel Boutique

$$$$ | Calle del Cuartel #36--77, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

In a city renowned for plush, storied accommodation, it's no easy feat to stand out, but Anandá does so with a welcoming and inclusive sense of luxury, backed by excellent design and attention to detail throughout. The hotel is laid out around two interlinked courtyards, the larger housing one of the city's finest restaurants, Carmen, where tables are arranged on a wooden deck over a gently running water. Above, wooden balconies blend with muted tones of red and blue, with some rooms overlooking the first-floor pool area, a patch of azure with a small palm set against exposed original stonework. Rooms, divided into three categories, are all spacious, with polished wood floors, quality furnishings, and heavy wooden beams above; grand four-poster beds set the suites apart. The pool area, with several white-draped daybeds, is more spacious than most and offers spectacular sunset views.

B.O.G

$$$$ | Carrera 11 #86–74, Bogotá, 11001, Colombia

The hotel’s rather hulking facade leads into a striking, gold-clad lobby that emulates the famous Gold Museum downtown, setting the tone for the tastefully modern design throughout the hotel. Spacious rooms are gently lit and colored in earthy ocher-and-green tones, transmitting an effortless feeling of luxury. The hydromassage shower is a treat, with locally designed bathroom products; the larger suites have an oval-shaped tub and patios. The ground floor has a handful of meeting rooms and every modern necessity you might need. The Emerald Spa is a soothing haven, and the heated rooftop pool with amazing city views is a must.

Bioma Boutique Hotel Mompox

$ | Calle Real del Medio #18–59, Santa Cruz de Mompox, 132560, Colombia

A traditional Mompox home located in the middle of town, Bioma is centered around a courtyard with a blessedly welcome swimming pool. Rooms are basic but comfortable beds, stylish bathrooms, and wood furniture add the necessary charm. A highlight is the rooftop deck and Jacuzzi, with views over the town. The warmth of the customer service at this family-run hotel is notable, from a chilled welcome drink to the service in the restaurant and the efficient organization of any desired day trips.

Bogotá Bed and Breakfast Inn

$$ | Calle 34 No. 17–01, Bogotá, 11001, Colombia Fodor's Choice

It takes just moments for this 1900s manor to feel like home, and for owners Beatriz and Rick to feel like family. Beautifully restored over the span of two years, the mansion has been completely renovated to levels seen in top luxury hotels. Double-paned room windows eliminate traffic noise; heavy, sound-insulating wooden doors were hand-carved; and the hydromassage showers are piping hot. Room design is simple, but each room is unique and furnished with locally collected antiques. The made-to-order breakfasts are superb, with tasty local flavors and Rick’s signature French toast. It is, however, the hosts' openhearted willingness to help with any details of your trip, be it restaurant recommendations or assistance with onward travel, that sets this apart as one of the best places to stay in Bogotá.

Cabañas Agua Dulce

$$$ | Providencia, 880027, Colombia

These white-painted wooden cabins near Aguadulce's beach have simple, dependable rooms with ocean views set around a well-kept garden. Adjoining the complex is a no-frills but dependable restaurant and a bar.

Casa Coraje

$$ | Colombia

This double-story bed-and-breakfast is a soothing haven tucked right on the beach. Downstairs, an open kitchen and lounge area are decorated with rustic touches and wood and white details. Numerous hammocks hang between the surrounding palms and a daybed with flowing white curtains encourages a lazy afternoon. En suite rooms maintain the easygoing style with lovely four-poster beds draped in mosquito nets.

Casa de Isabella

$$$ | Cra. 2 #19–20, Santa Marta, 470004, Colombia

A block away from El Parque de los Novios, a focal point of Santa Marta's nightlife, this small boutique hotel has a cheerful design and plenty of greenery in the courtyard that adds a calming element to the space. After renovations in mid-2016, the hotel feels updated and renewed, notably in the well-decorated guests rooms, with dark, hand-carved furnishings, exposed ceiling beams, and touches of bright Caribbean color in cushions or wall hangings. Rooms are also equipped with free Wi-Fi and Apple TV. Another bonus: there's a pleasant terrace with a splash pool to take the edge off the heat.

Casa India Catalina

$$ | Calle del Coliseo #5--67, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

This is a solid choice for the budget-conscious traveler looking to stay right in the heart of the historic center with all the sights and nightlife close at hand. The basic hotel retains plenty of colonial character from the bougainvillea-covered entrance to the cheerful yellow interior and balconies with wooden balustrades overlooking a small pool surrounded by exposed brick arches. Rooms are colorful and clean, although they could do with a touch of maintenance and upgraded towels, but they have basic showers, a/c, and cable TV. Avoid streetside rooms if you're a light sleeper.

Casa La Fe

$$$ | Calle Segunda De Badillo #36--125, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

The best of the midrange options in the old city, Casa La Fe has a much-loved location on the leafy Plaza Fernandez de Madrid and is comfortable and colorful throughout. The room's design and furnishings are somewhat dated, but they are well-sized and welcoming, and the pricier options with balconies overlooking the plaza are well worth the extra cost. Breakfast is served at charming wrought-iron tables in the green central courtyard, and the third floor offers a small splash pool and bar, where the barman whips up some tasty cocktails.

Casa Lola

$$$$ | Calle del Guerrero #29--108, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia Fodor's Choice

Less than a block away from the central Plaza de la Trinidad, Casa Lola is leading the way in accommodations for the booming Getsemaní neighborhood. The soothing modern interior is impeccably fitted into a finely restored historic building. The entrance charms and sets the tone with a mix of antique furniture and modern art, while the central hallway lulls with a series of burbling channels and pools that you cross on wooden walkways on the way to the rooms or up to the third- floor deck and pools. Rooms are uniquely laid out and decorated with a brashly modern flair by Spanish owner and interior designer Ignacio Garcia de Vinuesa that ensures you'll fall for the space regardless of your personal taste.

Casa San Agustín

$$$$ | Calle de la Universidad, No. 36--44, Cartagena, Colombia Fodor's Choice

This intimate and luxurious boutique's distinctive rooms are scattered throughout the white-washed, beautifully decorated former residence in Cartagena's UNESCO-protected Old Town, separated by flower-filled terraces and cozy, book-lined lounges. Because of the setup, each room has a different layout and view (street or garden); some have shared gardens, private plunge pools, or original elements like wood-beamed ceilings or frescoes, while a couple suites are duplexes. All come with free Wi-Fi, Frette linens, Ortigia bath products, HDTVs, and on-request iPads. A small swimming pool beckons in the main courtyard below an ancient aqueduct, as do a few white couch-lined nooks for alfresco refreshments. Staff are professional and genuinely caring, making visitors feel at home, avoiding airs and graces that can so often mar similarly establishments. Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, the Alma restaurant highlights local seafood. Along with the sexy vibe and relaxed-luxury style, the hotel's biggest plus is the central location in the vibrant Old Town.

Casa Verde Hotel

$$ | Calle 18 No. 4–70, Santa Marta, Colombia Fodor's Choice

There's simply no friendlier place to stay in this city, and the warm welcome extends to comfortable decor and affordable room rates. Rooms are cool, inside thick Republican-era walls, with a few artisanal touches like hand-molded cement basins and rustic wood towel rails in the bathroom. The central patio is welcoming and green, with a small jet pool and scattered hammocks that encourage guests to unwind and slip into the gentler local pace of life. The owner offers customized tours that beat the local operators.

Casablanca B&B

$$$$ | Calle del Tejadillo #38--71, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

Slightly removed from the bustle of the historic center, Casablanca's cool, whitewashed walls and aquatic theme add to the impression of an old city oasis, a welcome hideout from the tropical heat on the other side of the heavy wooden door to the street. Just past reception at the entrance to this grand republican home, a wooden walkway leads past a narrow pool in a leafy, open-air gallery with rooms adjacent or on the second floor. The 14 rooms are large and well-appointed, with particularly spacious bathrooms of white stone and marble stocked with L'Occitane products. Faux weathered wooden furniture detracts a little from an otherwise superbly finished space.

Click Clack Hotel

$$$ | Carrera 11, No. 93--77, Bogotá, Colombia Fodor's Choice

An edgy design and playfully artistic ambience puts Click Clack at the head of the urban boutique-hotel pack. Impressive even from a distance, the 11-story building is wrapped in mesh depicting a street map of Bogotá, but it's the smaller details that close the deal. Sleek-lined furnishings are softened by quality room art, the dark-tiled rain shower is pure luxury, and the minibar is stocked with an interesting selection of local goods, which are included in the room price. Some rooms look onto a multiple-story vertical garden, while others have a small terrace or floor-to-ceiling windows that offer expansive city views, but all avoid feeling cramped. The top-floor bar, Apache, draws a good crowd and serves up quality burgers and drinks. 100 Gramos restaurant, occupying the lower ground floor, is the hotel’s most impressively designed space and has an excellent, modern menu of tapas-inspired dishes.

Cocoplum Beach Hotel

$$$$ | Vía a San Luis 43-39, 880006, Colombia

Surrounded by lush gardens and coco palms, Cocoplum is located right on the beach near Rocky Cay and is the best option for those looking for beachfront accommodation a little removed from the town. While the facilities and rooms need an update, Cocoplum is the perfect base where you can wash the sand off your feet and sleep with good a/c. Breakfasts are a treat, taken almost right on the beach, and the restaurants, though overpriced, are decent if you don't feel like exploring, and offer beachside dining or drinks.

Deep Blue

$$$$ | 880020, Colombia Fodor's Choice

Tucked away in tranquil Maracaibo is Providencia's only luxury boutique hotel. Quality shines throughout, from inviting infinity pools to first-rate furnishings and bedding, and a modern bathroom with L'Occitane products. There's no beach, but you can enjoy views of Crab Cay from the deck or jump off it into the warm water. The hotel's restaurant is excellent, with a strong seafood-focused menu and quality service. Book hotel well in advance.

Diez Hotel Categoria Colombia

$$$ | Calle 10A #34–11, Medellín, Colombia

Centered around the design theme that each floor represents a region in Colombia, this professionally run and well-maintained hotel ticks all the boxes for a comfortable stay. Rooms are spacious, with a glass-walled bathroom; rooms on the higher levels have excellent city views, and some even have hammocks. Another bonus? It's within walking distance of the area's best attractions.

EcoHabs Minca

$$$ | 470008, Colombia

A handful of comfortable cabins scattered over a hillside just outside of town make up this attractive hotel that has been superbly integrated into the surrounding forest. Choices range from a room just above the restaurant to isolated cabins. The spacious cabins, constructed from natural local materials, have fantastic views and simple yet comfortable furnishings. The provided mosquito nets are functional, but be sure to bring plenty of repellent.

Finca El Cielo

$ | San Agustín, Colombia Fodor's Choice

Three kilometers (2 miles) out of town, Finca El Cielo lives up to its name by offering gorgeous views over this little piece of paradise that is the countryside of San Agustín. The friendly and well-informed managers can help with guides and transportation. The property has a tranquil air and, although rustic, rooms are cozy and comfortable. The nicest room, the Uranos suite, has amazing views and ultimate privacy.

Finca La Jorará

$$$ | 470017, Colombia Fodor's Choice

A working organic farm that stretches from the coast into the hills, La Jorará offers an unbeatable experience---picture a fresh mountain stream running down from the hills to the wild, deserted beach that's bordered by lush trees that hang heavy with fruit. Spread over three lodges, the accommodations have a farm-style rusticity that integrates with the lush surrounding gardens. There's plenty to do during the day: climb up to breathtaking lookout points; splash in the river's natural pools; or take a tour of the banana plantation. Come sunset, stretch out in a hammock and listen to the forest come alive, and then saunter down to the main house for dinner at large communal tables.

Four Seasons Casa Medina

$$$$ | Carrera 7, No. 69A–22, Bogotá, Colombia Fodor's Choice

Casa Medina opened in 2015 and donned the mantle of reigning royalty in Bogotá’s hotel scene. An audacious restoration and building project left the 1946 mansion renewed and added a new wing that seamlessly integrates with the original structure. Throughout the property there are details to savor: stone columns rescued from colonial-era convents, sweeping staircases, dark wood ceiling beams, and intricately carved doors unique to each room. Public spaces, like the stone, ivy-covered courtyard next to the restaurant, are inviting. Guest rooms have handcrafted furnishings that ooze old-world class, like aged-leather sofas that beg for lounging, and working fireplaces (in some rooms) that can be lit at your request. Bathrooms are resplendent in ocher or dark marble, with a rain shower and L'Occitane products. À la carte breakfast is served in a glass atrium with modern design touches---Edison bulbs and steel roof girders---and every item is perfectly prepared. The on-site restaurant, Castanyoles, has some of the best Spanish food in the city, and the spa offers some innovative local treatments that feature coffee and coconut.

Four Seasons Hotel Bogotá

$$$$ | Carrera 13 #85–46, Bogotá, Colombia

Ideally located in the heart of Zona T, this hotel is a perfect example of the Four Seasons brand, with spacious, well-designed rooms and a professional and welcoming staff. Bathrooms are particularly luxurious with ocher marble surfaces, roomy rain showers, cozy bath wear, and L'Occitane products. A Nespresso machine in each room is a welcome addition. The spa offers a full range of treatments and products from Biologique Recherche of Paris. The on-site restaurant, Kuru, is excellent, with a good range of sushi and dishes from the traditional robatayaki grill.

Friends to Be

$$ | Calle del Espíritu Santo #10C--105, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

A attractive, refurbished home on a popular but not too raucous street in Getsemaní is just steps away from some of the neighborhood's best restaurants. The hotel is dominated by a central open courtyard that features a plunge pool and lounge bar, which is great for the socially inclined but can be a problem for those seeking a quieter atmosphere. Rooms with tall wooden doors and windows surround the courtyard on two levels; they are comfortable, spacious, and have some charming details like wooden pallet bases for the beds and colorful mosaic tiling in the bathroom. The hotel is clearly aiming for a more budget-conscious market, so quality finishes are lacking, and rooms aren't very quiet.

Hacienda Anacaona

$ | San Agustín, 418068, Colombia

Combining country rustic with colonial chic, the Anacaona is probably the best accommodation from which to explore the ruins and parks of San Agustín. Every room, though simple, has been thoughtfully decorated and serves as a perfect antidote to aching feet after hours of marveling at treasures from times past.

Hill House Hotel

$ | Calle 120a #6–54, Bogotá, 11001, Colombia

Well located on the edge of central Usaquen, this tall, redbrick building is one of the better options for those who want to spend a few days in the area. The interiors are simple, with parquet flooring, but everything is well kept. Rooms are generously sized, with modern showers, and the front rooms have great views over the neighborhood. Apartment-style rooms with kitchenette are also available.

Hilton Cartagena

$$$$ | Carrera 1 No. 4–00, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

At this hotel on the tip of the Bocagrande peninsula, the spacious, airy guests rooms can provide wide views of the city or sea, but the unattractive surroundings that lie far from the old city may disappoint. White-tile floors, pastel hues, and light wood, as well as updated baths with a rain shower, add a soothing vibe. Some rooms have great views of the terrace and its gardens and four pools, including one for kids. The beach past the impressive pool area has essentially been claimed by the hotel and is less populous than others on the peninsula, but despite touches of green remains a rather drab, gray-sand affair. Guests may feel far removed from the bustle of the old town, so decide your priorities in advance.

Hotel 3 Banderas

$$ | Calle Cochera del Hobo No. 38–66, Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

In the historic and increasingly popular San Diego neighborhood in the walled town, this attractive little 19th-century hotel is a decent medium-range option. The simple and sometimes overly colorful rooms, all of which border a pleasant green courtyard, combine colonial style with modern amenities. A lounge area with an oversized Jacuzzi on the third floor offers a space to relax and take in views over the city.
