From 2013 to 2023

From 2013 to 2023 we've grown to be the largest hotel operator in Medellin, the largest Airbnb host in Latin America and the largest property manager of serviced apartments in the city. The secret to our success? Just unwavering passion and focus on tourism, guest experience and real estate investment in Medellin. We don't do anything else, anywhere else.

Every day our team works tirelessly to provide our clients with the best advice, service and value in the market whether they are our guests or investors. In fact countless investor clients today actually started out as guests of our property management team.

Casacol is also an active member of many industry associations such as

1. the Lonja of Medellin (Real Estate Association).
2. Cotelco (Colombian Hotel Association).
3. Corporación Zona Rosa (Parque Lleras/Provenza) business owners association.
4. the Medellin Chamber of Commerce Clúster de Turismo.
5. The Medellin Visitors Bureau, as well as very active with local city politicians, the Ministry of Tourism, and members of Colombian congress to promote Medellin and Colombia as a world-class destination for tourism and foreign investment.

Our Mission at Casacol is twofold

1. To provide the very best in investment opportunities and advice to both our foreign/local clients and to only offer investments that we feel match and maximize the goals of the client.

2. Provide an exceptional, world-class guest experience to those to stay with us whether for a night, a month or indefinitely. Happy guests will return again and again and refer friends, family and colleagues and thus keep our occupancy high and our investors happy.

The Casacol Vision and Philosophy

Investing in Colombia should be safe, transparent and profitable. Navigating the investment process by yourself in a foreign country with a language and culture you may not understand can lead to costly mistakes. We aim for Casacol to be first choice for investors looking for a high quality, income-producing asset with high liquidity and long-term price appreciation potential.

Also hospitality in Medellin should be world-class. As a developing country, Colombia can sometimes deliver an experience that falls short of the expectations of the international traveler. At Casacol we believe that a true global 5-star guest experience on a global standard for both our short and long term guests will soon become the norm in Medellin as our new projects continually come to fruition.
