When Click Clack Hotel opened its very first property six year ago in the Colombian capital Bogotá, the local hospitality landscape saw a new benchmark of modern cool. Founders Juan Felipe Cruz, Tomas Beltran and Diego Camacho have now shaken up the scene in Medellín, the country’s second largest city, with much needed contemporary lodgings. The hotel, situated in the leafy Lalinde area of town, sees a renewed collab with local architecture practice Plan:b, and occupies a purpose-built structure, which at the same time forms an integral part of the neighbourhood’s urban fabric. As such, it’s part of a housing block, creating a pedestrian crossing, an internal park and new semi-public spaces along the way, and this also instigates an organic interaction with the surrounding area.
The new Click Clack Hotel property features 123 guestrooms in six different categories and sizes, each separated by balconies, gardens and terraces, allowing the tropical climate to access the building with its fresh air currents. Geared towards today’s savvy traveller, the pads obviously meet all modern standards and includes amenities such as a comfy hypoallergenic bed, high-speed internet, a min bar, and free local calls. The building’s hallways have natural lighting, and all the terraces and other public areas feature an abundance of lush tropical greens. The ground floor lobby seamlessly blends with the hotel’s bar and restaurant, a lively facility which is frequented by hotel guests and neighbourhood dwellers alike. The list of Click Clack Hotel services includes room service, laundry service and a convenient shuttle service to José María Córdova Airport.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
