Colombia's first hotel built around longevity science, Wake BioHotel opened in El Poblado as a member of Marriott's Design Hotels collection.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
El Tesoro shopping center sits directly across the street, and El Poblado's dining and nightlife are a quick drive downhill.
The rooms
Cast-concrete rooms pair blackout shades with temperature-regulated beds, while upper-tier suites add infrared PEMF mats for recovery.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A waterfall spout feeds the fifth-floor lap pool, lined with loungers looking out across the valley.
Sauna and cold plunge
Stone cold plunge tubs and hot jacuzzis sit beside cedar infrared saunas facing the city towers.
The spa and gym
Weight machines face floor-to-ceiling glass in the 24-hour gym, and covered terraces host restorative bodywork.
Restaurant
Silo
Under a perforated red staircase, tables receive nutrient-dense Colombian dishes, including bone broths and plantain waffles.
How it began
Architect Eduardo Múnera stepped the concrete structure into the Los Naranjos hillside in 2025 for four Medellín founders rethinking wellness hospitality.
