La Makha: a journey of flavors in Medellín
There are restaurants that are in hotels and restaurants that are the hotel. La Makha is closer to the second category. Not because Binn Hotel revolves exclusively around its gastronomic offering (the design, the spa and the rooftop have their own weight) but because La Makha has a sufficiently defined identity for the restaurant to […]
Informal gathering at Etro: a light menu without sacrificing quality
An informal meeting occupies a specific place in the spectrum of social encounters that Medellín spaces handle poorly. At one extreme are the formal dinner restaurants where the individual plate format, structured service timing and noise level make the meeting more of a gastronomic transaction than a conversation. At the other extreme are the bars […]
Corporate events with catering: Etro Rooftop and Binn Hotel—together
The corporate event combining work and pleasure has a design problem that few city propositions resolve well: the work space and the celebration space are usually in different places, with different suppliers and a transition between the two that interrupts the event’s flow. Binn Hotel resolves this with a concept that does not require leaving […]
Large groups at Etro: a sharing menu inspired by the colombian oceans
Feeding a large group at a luxury rooftop has a problem that many spaces resolve poorly: an individual menu in conventional restaurant format makes each person focus on their own plate rather than on the conversation with the rest of the group. For events where social interaction is part of the objective (a celebration, a […]
Intimate civil weddings with 360° views in Medellín
An intimate civil wedding has its own logic that distinguishes it from the large wedding format. It is not a smaller version of the same thing: it is a different proposition, with a distinct philosophy about what matters on that day. For couples who choose the intimate ceremony, the criterion is not how many people […]
Marriage proposal at Etro Rooftop: the setting that already has everything
A marriage proposal has one opportunity to happen. That makes the choice of setting a decision with more weight than it seems when the search begins. The space needs to do something that few spaces do well: create the conditions for an intimate moment to occur within a context that elevates it, without the environment […]
Sophisticated bachelorette and bachelor parties at Etro Rooftop
Bachelorette and bachelor parties in Medellín span a wide spectrum from full revelry at Parque Lleras to a curated experience for groups who want to celebrate well without the chaos that usually accompanies that type of evening. Etro Rooftop sits deliberately at the second end of that spectrum. That does not mean the evening is […]
Private events at Medellín rooftops
Organizing a private event at a Medellín rooftop seems straightforward until the details come into focus. The view is what draws people in, but the view does not solve the catering, does not guarantee real privacy and does not coordinate guest access. The difference between an event that works and one that improvises as it […]
Birthday with decoration at Etro Rooftop: the setting that works on its own
There is a difference between decorating a space and choosing a space that does not need to be decorated. The first requires budget, planning, suppliers and the hope that the result resembles the Pinterest reference. The second requires good judgment and a reservation with enough lead time. Etro Rooftop is in the second category. Not […]
Open bar at rooftops: what Etro offers for private events
Open bar has two meanings in the events market worth distinguishing before discussing Etro. The first is unlimited consumption at a fixed price. The second is an unlimited consumption service that maintains the same level of preparation and selection standard as if each drink were being paid for individually. At Etro Rooftop, the open bar […]
