Rooms are smart and contemporary in neutral shades and natural materials and all come with balconies and lake views.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On the shores of the Guatapé reservoir, two kilometres past the Piedra del Peñol monolith.
The rooms
Calm, contemporary interiors in muted tones frame the lake, with wide sliding glass doors opening to private balconies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A curved infinity pool looks across the reservoir, ringed by built-in stone daybeds and a shaded terrace bar.
Hot tubs and gym
Rough stone soaking tubs sit along the open terrace, and treadmills in the fitness room face straight across the water.
Restaurant
Pismo
Terrace tables sit beneath slatted ceilings looking over the water, serving regional Colombian fare alongside craft cocktails.
At the table
Drinks are served under copper pendants at the curved pavilion bar, and a stone-walled room hosts private wine tastings.
How it began
Vicaría Arquitectura themed the hillside architecture on the classical elements, dividing the four towers between earth, fire, water, and air.

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.
Heritage
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.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
