By Lorraine Caputo

Since its inception in 1927, the same family has lovingly run the Park Hotel, a favorite inn of Colombian TV personalities and international journalists. The outside may have had a facelift a few decades back, but the inside of this inn has the same elegance from its conception. High-relief carvings of dancing figures and tropical vegetation cover the pilasters and stairways. The public areas are accented by paintings and stone sculptures. The tastefully decorated rooms have high ceilings, ceramic-tile floors and private baths. (Here’s a secret: the turista rooms have a sea view!) On steamy afternoons you can cool off in the swimming pool and come sunset you can relax in the bamboo furniture on the broad, common balcony overlooking the bay. Park Hotel pays attention to the children, too, providing a reading room and pool just for them. Thursday is movie night.
