Getting Started

Welcome to Medellín! Once you’ve settled into The Marquee Hotel, it’s time to get your bearings in the city. Here are a few essentials to make your first days easier.

Navigation

Google Maps and Waze are the most common apps for getting around. Use them to find restaurants, attractions, or the quickest route across town. They work reliably in Medellín and will help you feel oriented from day one.

Internet & Wi-Fi

If you prefer to keep your international data off, you won’t feel disconnected. Medellín is full of free Wi-Fi hotspots, especially in restaurants, cafés, and public spaces. Almost every place you stop for a coffee will have Wi-Fi available.

Groceries

For everyday essentials, you’ll find major supermarkets like Carulla and Éxito throughout the city. In fact, there’s one just half a block away from the hotel. A quick search in Google Maps will guide you to the nearest option.

If you’d rather skip the trip, the Rappi App is a fantastic alternative—delivering groceries, snacks, and much more straight to your door.

Final Tip

Whether you’re exploring on foot, riding with an app, or relaxing at the hotel, you’ll quickly discover Medellín is a city built for convenience. Our team at The Marquee is always ready to share more local tips to help you settle in smoothly.
