Location
A hotel near Parque Lleras, walking distance to everything
If you want a hotel near Parque Lleras, Haven, A Design Hotel is at Calle 10A #36-29 in El Poblado, a 2-minute walk from the park and from Provenza. From the front door you can walk to many of Medellín's best-known restaurants, bars and coffee shops.
To give you a sense of it: Quema Que Quema, a salsa institution, is on the same street as the hotel. Below is a short list of spots with walking times measured from our door. Every one of them is 10 minutes or less away.

Bars, restaurants and coffee near Parque Lleras
Picks from our guide, ordered like a full day: morning coffee first, then dinner, then music late.
Pergamino Café
3 min walk
Vía Primavera · $$
Medellín's specialty-coffee benchmark: house roasting, direct ties to Antioquian farms and a leafy terrace on Vía Primavera.
Our tip: The Calle 10B branch is one block from the hotel; take home a bag of single-origin beans.
Parque Lleras is one of the hubs of Medellín's nightlife, and Haven is two minutes away. That's a real plus, and it's worth knowing before you book.
Weeknights are calmer. Weekends are a different story: several bars around us have DJs or live music, Quema Que Quema brings in salsa bands, and clubs like Salón Amador go until the early hours. Our own 360° Rooftop & Restaurant has DJs on weekends too.
If you're here to go out, it's hard to be better placed: you walk there and walk back. If total silence on a Saturday night is a must, message us before you book and we'll tell you honestly what to expect.
Why stay here
Why stay next to Lleras and Provenza
Walking saves time and rides. You can have dinner in Provenza, grab a cocktail after, and be back in your room in minutes without waiting on a car.
The area works by day too. Specialty coffee shops, Colombian design stores and contemporary art galleries are a few blocks away. Parque El Poblado, where the valley's first Spanish settlement was founded in 1616, is a short walk.
Without leaving the hotel, you have Swing Lounge in the lobby for specialty coffee from Antioquia, and the 360° Rooftop & Restaurant on the 11th floor, with a heated pool and a 360° view of the city, to start or end the night.
Getting around
Getting from Haven to the rest of Medellín
Uber, DiDi and Cabify are widely used in El Poblado, along with regular taxis. To reach other neighborhoods, especially at night, we recommend calling a ride on an app or taking a licensed taxi rather than walking.
As a rough guide, from our own city guide: about 10 minutes by car to Santafé mall, 15 to Pueblito Paisa, 20 to Laureles, 25 to Plaza Botero and 40 to Comuna 13. At rush hour, give yourself extra time.
The metro is another option: El Poblado station connects to the rest of the city and to the Metrocable. From José María Córdova airport, the drive takes about 40 minutes depending on traffic, and the front desk can arrange your transfer.
