Where to stay:
A personal selection of boutique hotels in the historic center of the city. (Pro tip: Both the Bastion and the Santa Teresa have rooftop pools with beautiful views to the city... I'm not saying you should go for those, but...)
Bastión Luxury Hotel

My personal go to, my family and I always stay here (we're even friends with the poolbar waiter who's always in a good spirit ✨).
A casual but elevated experience, with friendly staff and a restaurant by Colombian renowned chef Jorge Rausch.
