What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s still immersed in nature — the modern wood and stone building is positioned on the shore of the turquoise Peñol-Guatapé Reservoir, with floor-to-ceiling windows revealing sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and forest — but the atmosphere is sophisticated and upscale.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On the shores of Peñol-Guatapé Reservoir, framed by Andean forest with direct dock access to the water.
The rooms
Private wooden balconies look toward the water. Select suites add open-air jacuzzis right on the terrace.
The outdoor jacuzzi
The outdoor heated jacuzzi sits among palms on the terrace, illuminated green each evening above the water.
Restaurant
Epicurian by Tau House
Dining tables surround an indoor ficus tree beneath woven baskets, and an illuminated bar pours cocktails beside the reservoir.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
