Sonata 44 Hotel Laureles is at Calle 44A No. 71-63 in Laureles, the residential district west of the river that many travelers choose when they want to feel like part of the city rather than the tourist zone. The hotel has 61 rooms and guests rate it 9.2 out of 10 across nearly a hundred reviews, with strong marks for cleanliness and for staff and service. On site there is a restaurant, a coffee shop, a garden and spa services, along with a free daily manager's reception, tea and coffee in the lobby, luggage storage, a concierge and tour and ticket assistance. Rooms include air conditioning, free fast Wi-Fi, a desk, premium bedding, a smart television and daily housekeeping. Room types run from basic and standard rooms to luxury rooms, triples and several classic suites, so there is something for solo travelers, couples and small groups. It is a quiet, comfortable base for visitors who prefer cafes and local restaurants to nightclubs.
Location and getting around
Laureles is flat, tree-lined and walkable, a pleasant change from the steep streets of El Poblado. The First Laureles Park is about an eight-minute walk away, the Pontifical Bolivarian University about ten and the Unicentro shopping center about thirteen. The Estadio Metro station is a seven-minute walk, which is a real advantage, because the Metro connects you to the center, to the cable cars up to Parque Arví and to the Comuna 13 area without needing a taxi.
The Plaza Mayor convention center is a short drive, and the domestic Olaya Herrera airport is around fifteen minutes by car. The Atanasio Girardot sports complex is close, so check for event days when streets nearby can be busy.
Rooms and facilities
The variety of rooms is a strength, so read the descriptions carefully when you book. Standard and basic rooms suit short stays and tighter budgets, the luxury rooms and classic suites give more space, and the triple rooms work for three friends or a small family. In-room extras include premium bedding, a wardrobe and free toiletries. Breakfast is not always part of the rate, although many guests mention a morning meal, so confirm what your booking includes.
Parking is not offered according to the hotel's own guidance, so plan on taxis, the Metro and ride-hailing. Pets are not allowed. Check-in begins in the afternoon and check-out is at eleven in the morning, which is earlier than at many hotels, so plan your last day accordingly.
Who it suits and what to know: Sonata 44 is a good fit for travelers who like a local feel, couples who want quiet evenings, food lovers who want to eat in Laureles' neighborhood restaurants and anyone staying a week or more who wants a more settled base. Nightlife is lower key than in El Poblado, although Laureles has its own bars and a lively strip along the circular avenues.
If you want the walkable cluster of restaurants, rooftop pools and the Lleras bars right outside, stay in El Poblado instead, and our where-to-stay guide compares the two districts. Book early for the Feria de las Flores in August and the December holidays, and ask the staff to organize tours that can collect you from the hotel door.
