Manifesto
Changing how
a place is lived in
We believe travelling is not only about changing places, but about changing the way you inhabit them.
Altitud was made for people who value design, quiet and the kind of stay that stays with you. It is an urban refuge where architecture speaks with nature, comfort meets what is genuine, and every detail connects the guest to the essence of Colombia.
We are not after display. We believe in an unforced kind of refinement, in rooms that invite you to breathe, and in the stories that make a stay worth remembering. Because the best way to know a place is to live it from another perspective.
Altitud · Medellín View Living
Four principles
What holds
the stay together
Design with a purpose
The architecture, the materials and every detail answer to one intention: contemporary spaces that are comfortable, practical and good to look at.
A connection to Colombia
More than hosting visitors, we bring our guests closer to the country through its coffee, its biodiversity, its art, its culture and its local design.
Another perspective
An invitation to discover Medellín from a quieter place, favouring genuine, considered experiences away from the tourist clichés.
Seven apartments in three formats
The apartments
Seven apartments in three formats, with one idea behind them: square metres enough to live in, not only to sleep in. Full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a terrace or balcony in each. For larger groups, several can be booked together.

Castropol · El Poblado · Medellín
The neighbourhood
before the district
Castropol is the part of El Poblado that stayed quiet. Streets with old trees, brick buildings, bakeries that have always been there, and the Modern Art Museum twelve minutes away on foot.
It is close enough to Avenida El Poblado to move quickly around the city, and far enough from Parque Lleras to sleep well. It sits midway between downtown, Laureles and the hillside.

A connection to Colombia
What we do
that isn't in the rate
Single-origin coffee
We welcome you with coffee from Antioquian farms, and arrange tastings and visits to roasters in the Aburrá valley for anyone who wants to understand what they are drinking.
The long table
Every apartment seats six. We put you in touch with neighbourhood cooks and markets to put dinner on that table without leaving the apartment.
The city, slowly
Walking routes through Castropol and the Modern Art Museum, the Sunday ciclovía and lookouts over the valley. Recommendations from people who live here, not lists off the internet.
Tours and experiences
What to do
in Medellín
We work with operators we know and have tried ourselves. We handle the day, the time and the pick-up at the building, and keep it all on one account with us. All you do is come down at the agreed hour.
In the cityOut and back the same day
Comuna 13
Graffiti and the outdoor escalators, with guides who grew up there and tell you what happened.
Markets and paisa cooking
The Plaza Minorista with someone who knows what to ask, and the option to cook what you bought.

Parque Arví

Paragliding over the valley
A tandem flight from San Félix, at 2,450 m. No experience needed, and with a certified instructor.
Out of MedellínA drive in between
Guatapé and the Peñol Rock
Two hours on the road, 742 steps to the top and the painted town below, with a boat ride.
A coffee farm
From plant to cup on farms in Antioquia: picking, hulling, roasting and cupping.

Frequently asked
What people
usually ask
Where is Altitud in Medellín?
At Calle 23 #41-60, in the Castropol neighbourhood of El Poblado. It is a 19-minute walk from Parque El Poblado, 1.2 km from the Modern Art Museum and 1.7 km from Industriales metro station.
How many people fit in each apartment?
Up to six per apartment. There are seven apartments in three formats: 138 m², 150 m² and the 280 m² penthouse. The first two have two Queen beds and a single; the penthouse has a King and two Queens. For a larger group, several apartments can be booked at once — message us and we'll arrange it.
Do the apartments have kitchens?
Yes, all three. A fully equipped kitchen with fridge, gas hob, oven, dishwasher and complete kitchenware, plus a laundry area inside the apartment.
Is there parking?
Yes, private parking inside the building at no extra cost to guests.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Booking direct, you can request an early arrival or a late departure and we confirm it subject to availability.
How do I get here from the airport?
From José María Córdova International Airport (Rionegro) it is 21 km, between 45 and 60 minutes by car. From Olaya Herrera, inside the city, it is 3.4 km, about 12 minutes. We arrange the transfer if you ask when booking.
Is it better to book direct or through a platform?
Direct. The rate on this site is always the lowest available, it includes the welcome extras, and it gives you the virtual concierge on WhatsApp for the whole stay. If you find a lower rate on another channel for the same dates, we will match it.
Which of the three formats suits me?
All three formats take up to six people, so the difference is space and what's outside. The 138 m² and the 150 m² share a layout — two bedrooms, three bathrooms and a balcony — and differ in how wide the living room is. The 280 m² penthouse runs over two levels and adds three bedrooms, five bathrooms, two living rooms, a private hot tub and a terrace with a grill.
Is it near Parque Lleras and the Zona Rosa?
Near, but not in it: Parque Lleras is 1.9 km away. Castropol is a residential part of El Poblado, with the noise of the Zona Rosa at a distance you can walk when you want it and cannot hear when you don't.
Do you arrange tours and experiences in Medellín?
Yes. We arrange Comuna 13, Guatapé and the Peñol Rock, coffee farms, Parque Arví by cable car, paragliding and market walks, with operators we know and have tried ourselves. We set the day, the time and the pick-up at the building, and the booking and payment are handled with us, on a single account. Guatapé can also become an overnight: the group that runs Altitud has five places to stay there. If you want something that isn't on the list, ask on WhatsApp and we'll put it together.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, pets are welcome. Let us know when you book so we can have the apartment ready. What isn't allowed are parties, events and stag or hen celebrations.
Does it work for long stays or for working?
Yes. Every apartment has a study area, WiFi, a full kitchen and its own laundry. For stays longer than a week, message us directly and we'll send you the monthly rate.
