Aparta Hotel Del Rio in Cali

I have stayed there.. has very good room, reminds me of hilton hotels. Cost last june was 90-100k per night, price incl breakfast. They have different type of rooms. You can walk to aviedna sexta during day, but recommend taking taxi at night. Also, if you stay there a week, you can negoitable a little better rate. They dont charge extra for guest(ie, GF) overnight.

fzrdan Can you give me the information for this hotel. I am going to Colombia on February 16 to 21 and I was checking hotels. I was looking at the Intercontinental, Raddison, Sheraton and Torre de Cali. Intercontinental = $130.00 USD a night, Sheraton = $110.00 USD a night they are both in the north part of Cali.

Thank you,

Peter Miami

Intercontinental.. personally, i didn't like the location. It's across the river in Cali on the non avendia side of town.. You can't walk around the area, the hotel itself is very nice and upscale, but you'll need to use taxis all the time, even in the day. I can't imagine paying $100 USD for a hotel in Cali, you can get a US equilavent 4 star for $35-50. Now most other hotels don't have pool and such or their not as nice.

Peter Miami I don't know much information. My novia recommended because it is in a relatively safe part of the city, close to fun spots (avienda sexta) and close to her house. caslug has stayed there and had good things to say.

I can't find much info for the place on the net, only the basic contact info:

Four Points by Sheraton I was just in Cali and I stayed at the Sheraton and I recommend it. It is only a couple of blocks off of Sexta. The service was excellent and I got a rate of $66.00 USD when I booked via the internet. The website is:
