This top class renovated hotel is where Royalty and Presidents stay when they visit the city of Medellin in Columbia, and I had the honour of staying there when the (now former) President of Columbia, Mr Uribes, and the Prince and Princess of Astoria (Spain) were there.
The hotel provides its guests with delightful gardens. The most beautiful hotel and set on a steep hillside, this establishment is finished to the highest standard, with marble floors and columns and walls in abundance.
It has the latest technology, including access to
high-speed Internet in all rooms and wireless Internet in public areas.
The property also features a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out
service, a hotel safe, currency exchange facilities, lift access, a
hairdressing salon and a children's playground. Guests may dine in the
restaurant and spend their evenings in the bar or disco. Business guests
are sure to appreciate the conference facilities. Room and laundry
services provide additional convenience.
Located in a residential area,
the nearest city, Medellin, is located at a distance of 5 km in the lush
district of 'The Village'. The road down to the city is quite steep and very twisted. Medellin is known as the city of 'eternal
spring' due to its location in a valley surrounded by mountains,
although the highlights are the 'los paisas', the happy and friendly
people. The hotel is a short drive away from the Museum of Antioquia,
which houses the sculptures of world-renowned artist Fernando Botero.
Medellin is a perfect destination for those travelling on business or
pleasure.The rooms, depending on their location, offer views of the
city, the mountains or the recreational area. They have a complete and
sophisticated security system, and are all equipped with a king-size
bed, two direct dial telephone lines, voice-mail, Internet access, a
minibar, an electronic safe and a work desk. They also provide
individually regulated air conditioning, a TV with 60 satellite/cable
channels, a radio and an en suite bathroom with a shower and
hairdryer.Recreational facilities include a heated outdoor semi-Olympic
swimming pool, 2 large and well-lit tennis courts, a mini-golf course, a
jogging track, table tennis, basketball courts, volleyball and mini
football. There is also a spa offering massages and beauty treatments
(for a fee). Children can enjoy their own swimming area. Sun loungers
and parasols are laid out for use. Active guests can join an aerobics
class or work out in the gym. The hot tub and sauna ensure complete
relaxation.
* Some services at an extra charge
Given its elevated position on the mountainside, this hotel overlooks the city of Medellin and at night time, the view is spectacular. For extra comfort, it also offers two floors of Club InterContinental rooms, which provide special privileges such as private check-in and check-out, Club Lounge, happy hour, and private breakfast. Medellin is a top destination for both leisure and business travellers.
The reception staff are most helpful, and speak very good English, but most are multilingual.
Meals, especially breakfast, are most appetising. The surroundings are most impressive. Rooms are very large, extremely clean, and equipped with very modern facilities. These are reached by a system of lifts, or escalators, which are large and clean.
Visit http://www.intercontinental.com/intercontinental/en/gb/locations/mdeha and get a better view of this hotel than I have given - indeed I could not do justice to this marvellous establishment in a few words.

specialist staff will be delighted to:

- Plan your family holiday or weekend break
- Manage your conference and corporate events

The food is something else. If you want a smacking good meal, this is the place to go to.
The conference facilities are also of a good standard, and staff are on hand should technical difficulties arise.
However, like its sibling the Lake District, you can be sure of some very good weather but also some very wet weather; so take good footwear and waterproof coats with you.

Hotel California, Palo Alto, California
This was a bed- or room-only establishment, where breakfast was served in a restaurant along the street, which was rather inconvenient. The room was cramped, but adequate for the single traveller.
Palo Alto is close to the famous Stanford University. I would not recommend this hotel, except perhaps for those travelling on a budget. It lacks a communal area, and there is no dining room/area.

Hotel Bristol Stephanie, Brussels
Perhaps the most elegant and top class 4* hotel we ever stayed in - albeit for one night only. The rooms are enormous, and the facilities superb. Located on the trendy Avenue Louisa in Brussels, it is close to interesting places, such as the Palace de Justice, and a short walk to the Grande Place. Close to this is the famous Mannikin Plas.
The Hotel is grande, and the entrance area most impressive, and atmospheric. Meals were excellent. Ideal for both the tourist and the business traveller. Service superb. Hotel has elegance twinned with comfort and luxury. The lift to the upper floors looks a bit antiquated and is quite small and cramped. However, it is well worth a stay, even for a few nights.
To enjoy this hotel, you will need to get there, and you'll want to fly there at the best possible price. Visit this website to find out how you can buy your flights at the best prices. Remember, if you can book cheap flights, you will have more money to spend on your visit to Brussels. So go here right now, and get the surprise of your life!
