34 | LUXlife Magazine Sep24471 ith a commitment to providing an authentic look at Colombian culture without sacrificing on the luxury frills that discerning travellers have come to expect from their hotels, the emerging Hotel El Zarzo successfully creates an unforgettable experience for every guest it welcomes through its doors. This all begins with the premium services that are employed here at every turn, and, starting with the rooms themselves, these are all thoughtfully designed and offer a sense of simplistic relaxation like no other for miles around. Designed in an ultra-modern style, the rooms and suites at Hotel El Zarzo combine local craftsmanship with international luxury standards, seen from their comfortable bedding through to the state-of-the-art amenities they have dotted throughout. Venturing outside of their room, a guest will find their short walk to the hotel’s picturesque rooftop bar or Cocina 33 restaurant significantly improved by greetings from the friendly team here, before they are welcomed with a warm smile and the offer of their favourite drink. Similar excellence can then be found across every element of this exquisite hotel, from the carefully curated Colombian art collection – pieces of which can be found throughout the corridors and public areas of Hotel El Zarzo – through to the local and sustainable suppliers providing the food for the Cocina 33 on-site restaurant. With every dish served in this dining location being overseen by Chef Manuel Mendoza, innate quality is a given. This is reflected through its menu, which itself is a tribute to the country’s coastal flavours. Equally as delectable as the gastronomic experience afforded in this restaurant is the cocktail-based flavour adventure that can be had at Hotel El Zarzo’s rooftop bar. With a backdrop of the Andes interweaved with lights from the city, this is the perfect setting in which to enjoy drinks that have been made with fresh, local ingredients and spirits, creating a memorable destination for socialising or unwinding after a day exploring and taking in everything this stunning region has to offer local and international travellers alike. Remarkably, the steadfast drive of the hotel’s staff to provide exciting Colombian getaways transcends catering to the needs of guests whilst they are just at the hotel. It is seen further through the cultural tours that Hotel El Zarzo offers – to such destinations as Comuna 13 (a vibrant and safe neighbourhood that is today a far cry from its history as the former home of Pablo Escobar), the beautiful town of Guatapé, as well as local coffee farms. These unique destinations present Medellín in all of its diverse, unrivalled glory.
