here is a part of a post i recently made on WLC regarding hotels in MDE:
-------------------------

on places to stay, I checked out 2 places but have not yet stayed in either place. Prices range depending on who makes the res (gringo vs latina) from about $80000 - $110000 pesos including breakfast

Torre Poblado
Cra 42 No 9-28
268.0244

Plaza Rosa Hotel
Cra 32D No 9-17
312.0005

The Torre is an Aparta-Hotel - nice large rooms. Gary Bala, the attorney on PL recommended the place to me. The Plaza looks ok but the rooms are larger at the Torre, however, there is another Body Tech across the street from the Plaza. Again, have your girl make the res - she's likely to get a lower rate. Another option is to stay at CSH without intro services - rates are lower if you just use the B&B, no citas.

Brandon2253,

You have several very good hotels, but you will need to book them in advance as the Medellín hotels fill up very quickly:

1. Dann Carlton, Pobaldo: 3 blocks from Parque Lleras (Night Life Hot Spot).  
Price:  130,000-250,000 pesos

2. Pobaldo Plaza:  2 Blocks from Parque Lleras
Price:  130,000-150,000 pesos

3.  Torre Plaza (Apart-hotel):  1/2 Block from Parque Lleras
Price:  120,00-150,000 pesos.

These are just a few but you can also search Planet-Love for more information as there have been several write-ups.

Colombian Sweethearts also offers competitive Bed & Breakfast rates without introductions and we are a 5-7 minute taxi ride to Parque Lleras (Cost $1.00) and only 5 minute taxi ride to Mangos (Hottest Disco in Medellín). We also have contacts for apartment rentals.  The Bed & Breakfast stay with us includes:

When walking past the Dann Carlton yesterday I noticed that they are having some promotion on daily rates.  It might be worth checking out.
