Hotel Charlee

About this place Hotel Charlee

Hotel Charlee is the finest hotel in El Poblado and one of the most architecturally impressive in Medellín — a contemporary tower with the neighbourhood's most celebrated rooftop, where an infinity pool and bar offer panoramic views of the Aburrá Valley and the surrounding hills that define Medellín's extraordinary urban geography. The Charlee's design sensibility is international and contemporary: clean lines, quality materials, and the kind of aesthetic coherence that appeals to design-conscious travellers. The hotel's location on Calle 9 places it in the heart of El Poblado's gay bar strip — the proximity to Envy, the Calle 9 bars, and Black means that the gay scene is walkable from the front door. The Charlee has established itself as a gay-welcoming luxury property, attracting a significant proportion of LGBTQ+ guests among its international clientele. The rooftop is a social venue in its own right — a place to have a sundowner before heading into the neighbourhood, or to recover from the previous night in the pool with the city spread below. For LGBTQ+ visitors to Medellín who prioritise luxury and design, the Charlee is the definitive answer: the best hotel in the neighbourhood where the gay scene is concentrated.
