May at Café Hotel Medellín: the getaway you've been looking for
May in Medellín has a special energy. Mother’s Day brings the city to life, sports teams have games scheduled, business executives are wrapping up the quarter, and couples are looking to spend some time together before the European winter and North American summer arrive, each with their own demands. Amidst it all, Café Hotel remains […]
The quiet side of El Poblado: far from the hustle and bustle
The quiet side of El Poblado: far from the hustle and bustle El Poblado is the neighborhood featured in every guidebook on Medellín. Lleras Park, Provenza, the restaurants, the bars, the nightlife. It’s a vibrant area that has plenty of reasons to be the top choice for most travelers. It’s also noisy. The commercial district […]
Meditation and Yoga While Traveling: How Your Surroundings Affect Your Practice
Travel disrupts routines. That’s part of what makes travel worthwhile, but it’s also what causes a yoga or meditation practice to fall by the wayside during the second week of a long trip. The problem isn’t usually motivation. It’s the environment. A hotel room with a bed pressed up against the wall, noise from the […]
Nutrition for Athletes in Medellín: The Power of Breakfast
Sports nutrition faces a problem with implementation. In theory, athletes know what they should eat. In practice, when they’re training in a city that isn’t their own, they eat whatever is available. What’s on offer is usually the hotel breakfast. And the hotel breakfast is usually whatever the chef on duty has prepared, without much […]
The setting where important meetings should take place
Some meetings can take place in any conference room. Others, however, require a different setting: those that set the direction for the company, or those that demand everyone’s full attention—not just their physical presence, but their full mental engagement. The environment matters more than corporate schedules usually acknowledge. A windowless room in an office building, […]
Sports Logistics in Medellín: How to Choose the Right Hotel
When a team travels to Medellín to compete, the choice of accommodations is not a trivial matter. The hotel where the athletes stay the night before a game affects their sleep, their diet the following day, and their physical condition during warm-ups. It is not a minor factor. Most coaching staffs know this in theory. […]
Why sleep is the most neglected form of exercise
Some athletes keep meticulous track of their nutrition, their training load, and their resting heart rate. And they sleep for six hours because the game ended late and their flight was early. Sleep rarely features in training plans. It comes up in discussions about recovery, but almost always as an afterthought, not as an active […]
The breakfast Mom deserves: buffet included at Café Hotel Medellín
Some hotels include breakfast, while at others, the included breakfast is actually worth it. It’s not the same thing. A glass of boxed juice, toast, and coffee from a machine technically count as “breakfast included.” But that’s not what you have in mind when you decide to make Mother’s Day special. At Café Hotel Medellín, […]
The Mother's Day package that has it all
There comes a point when planning a gift where you stop looking for “something special” and start looking for “something I don’t have to put together from scratch.” A gift package that’s already been thought out, that’s cohesive, and that doesn’t require coordinating five different things on the same day. For Mother’s Day, Café Hotel […]
The wellness getaway every modern mom needs
Wellness has become an industry. There are apps, routines, podcasts, and weekend retreats that cost as much as an international flight. And amid all this buzz about self-care, many mothers still lack something much more basic: a day with no plans. You don’t need a five-day program or a luxury spa with treatments with fancy […]
