The Brown GUATAPÉ, COLOMBIA
Located among the emerald mountains of Antioquia, just two hours from Medellín, Guatapé is one of Colombia’s most distinctive destinations. Known for its colourful streets, hand-painted zócalos (murals) and expansive lake surrounded by rolling hills and scattered islands, the town offers a unique blend of nature, culture and adventure. Overlooking this remarkable landscape is The Brown, an Autograph Collection Hotel by Marriott, where contemporary design, immersive experiences and warm hospitality come together. The largest hotel in Guatapé, The Brown features
116 rooms and suites spread across four towers, each offering views of the lake and mountains. Water lies at the heart of the Guatapé experience,
and The Brown offers several ways to explore it. Guests can discover the lake by kayak, paddleboard or private boat — each accessing hidden corners of the landscape from a different perspective. Praia Beach Club, one of the property’s signature experiences, offers a rare private beach setting where days unfold between the water, handcrafted cocktails, relaxed dining and uninterrupted views.
The hotel’s culinary offering centres on two
distinctive venues. Pismo presents contemporary cuisine inspired by local ingredients and global influences, while Praia offers a more relaxed lakeside atmosphere. Beyond dining, guests can choose from an extensive programme of experiences, including exotic fruit-tastings, rum-tastings, guided sound bathing sessions, wellness rituals, water activities and cultural tours. Just beyond the hotel, Guatapé continues to
inspire. The iconic granite monolith Piedra del Peñol rises 220 metres above the landscape, rewarding visitors with sweeping views of the lake, mountains and islands that define the area. In town, colourful facades decorated with traditional zócalos reflect the region’s history, creativity and vibrant culture. Back at the hotel, wellness unfolds naturally.
Outdoor whirlpool baths overlooking the lake provide space for relaxation, while a botanical garden, fitness centre and restorative treatments encourage moments of wellbeing. The property’s setting has also made it a popular destination for weddings and celebrations.
