Our Favorite Hotels in Colombia

Dann Carltons.

When I wrote the original post on this thread, I mentioned

that below-normal guest rates were available at

Dann Carlton Medellin during The Situation.

As we enter March 2023, those rates have returned to

regular market levels, much higher rates being the fact

on certain dates such as holidays or holiday weeks.

There is a second Dann Carlton with a swimming pool

and still offering lower rates, also along Medellin's

Golden Mile.  It's called the Dann Carlton Belfort.

For my hotel stay now ending in Bucaramanga,

the management gave me a 19 percent discount

based on a stay of at least 15 nights.

In my experience, guests can expect

a discount of at least ten percent off rack rates or

rates available on the Internet, at Dann Carlton

properties in Colombia if they request it.

@cccmedia hotel dix on tenth.....been there 7 x in middle of all the fun and close to the medical buildings

Way above my price level..in Colombia...but I will be paying as much as 170 Euros a night for hotel rooms in Cortina D' Ampezzo  Italy this summer.

Seems there are no options for hostales or even cheap camping ( I would have to drag a tent along all over Italy anyway) or sleeping on the Beach like in the 70s or early 80s backpacking day

Even dorm type accomodations in other parts of Italy are at least $60 US a night Per Person.

People keep complaining how high inflation is, how expensive things are, but these resorts and hotels and airlines are fuller than ever during holiday period, everywhere, Europe ,US, Canada  South América.

And people still want their 2000 or 3000 sq foot houses with granite counter tops, 2 car garage , with an EV for occcaisional virtue signalling and a SUV for practicality and convenience and toast with avocado at Starbucks.

What a spoiled, materialistic society we have become.

I.like to go glamping in Colombia. Lots of options there.

Or rent a Finca for the weekend
