Bluedoors York Luxury Suites

Colombia's second city is set to welcome the newest star in its ever-increasing line-up of hip new hotels. Bluedoors York Luxury Suites is a 23-story, ultra-modern hotel where you'll feel welcome as soon as you set foot in its minimalist, yet warm, lobby. From there, head up to your guestroom (all of which are designed as separate apartments with full kitchens and living spaces), where expansive windows provide unparalleled views of the city skyline and the lush mountains beyond.

At Bluedoors York Luxury Suites, surround yourself with Colombian culture and comfort. Eat like a local by sampling one of the region's most famous dishes, the bandeja paisa or "paisa platter" which features beans, rice, pork, chorizo, and a fried egg. For something sweet, opt for a morning hot chocolate, but do it the Medellin way by adding a soft slice of cheese. After having your fill of local food, set off on foot to explore one of South America's most intriguing mountain cities.
