On the rooftop of Binn Hotel, on the 16th floor, at Carrera 25 #10-51 on Transversal Superior, in El Poblado, two spaces share the same level: the hotel’s pool and Etro Rooftop. This combination allows guests to move from the pool to the bar without changing floors, all within one space overlooking the Aburrá Valley.
A rooftop pool at a hotel can be many things. It can be a rectangle of water with plastic umbrellas and background music nobody asked for, or it can be the space that turns a decent stay into something memorable. In Medellín, where the topography gives every tall building a different relationship with the landscape, a rooftop pool is not a decorative luxury: it is a way to experience the city in a manner that does not exist at street level.
Rooftops with Pool and Terrace
What sets Binn Hotel’s rooftop apart from a conventional terrace is that it combines two uses on the same level: the pool, available to hotel guests, and Etro Rooftop, the venue’s signature bar, both located on the 16th floor.
This configuration reflects the same quiet luxury concept that defines Binn Hotel: an exclusive, elegant, and discreet experience where minimalist, sophisticated design prioritizes quality and privacy. The space does not aim to be the biggest or the flashiest in the city, but one where every element (the pool, the bar, the view) is part of the same coherent proposal.
Etro Rooftop features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the mountains of the Aburrá Valley and Medellín’s skyline, an architectural element that connects the bar’s interior with the urban landscape. That same visual connection to the valley is part of what makes this level of the hotel special as a whole.
Views from El Poblado
Medellín is built in a valley surrounded by mountains. That means from any elevated point, the view is not just the urban skyline: it is the skyline framed by the mountain range. Situated high above Medellín, Binn Hotel offers views of the Aburrá Valley, where the mountains surrounding the city create a distinctive landscape, and its location in one of the city’s most exclusive dining areas allows guests to enjoy a culinary offering that combines tradition and innovation.
From the 16th floor, both the pool and Etro Rooftop share this same orientation toward the valley, making this level of the hotel one of the points with the strongest visual connection to the mountains of eastern Antioquia and the city’s skyline.
The Etro Rooftop Experience
Etro Rooftop is the hotel’s signature bar, with its own cocktail menu and a food offering designed for sharing. The house signature sits on five cocktails:
- Esfumado ($38,000 COP): aged rum, Frangelico, tamarind syrup, and orange peel
- Silencio ($38,000 COP): Absolut Vodka infused with coconut oil, thyme syrup, and mandarin lemon juice
- Sabroso ($45,000 COP): red wine reduction with berries and Absolut Vodka
- Niebla ($60,000 COP): Ojo de Tigre mezcal from 8-year-old Espadín agave
- Revelación Rubí ($45,000 COP): bourbon with rye notes, corozo syrup, and pineapple extract
Beyond these, the menu includes fourteen classic cocktails ranging from $40,000 to $61,000 COP, a selection of international wines, premium spirits, and champagne, plus non-alcoholic options for those who prefer not to drink.
As for dining, Etro Rooftop’s food concept is born to be shared: dishes arrive at the center of the table, inviting the conversation and the menu to blend into a single energy. If your interest in dining goes beyond what the rooftop offers, it is worth considering La Makha, the flagship restaurant of the Binn Hotel ecosystem, with a cocina de origen menu that includes dishes like confited Octopus with rooftop herb chimichurri ($135,000 COP) or the Certified Angus Beef Rib Eye Grill ($275,000 COP), plus a tasting menu for one person starting at $330,000 COP.
Etro Rooftop Hours
Etro Rooftop operates on the following schedule:
- Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday: 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm
- Thursday, Friday, and Saturday: 12:00 pm to 12:00 am
- Holidays: 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm
The space accommodates 80 seated guests or 150 in a cocktail-style format, spread across a 120-square-meter area with a 3.20-meter ceiling height, plus an upper space of 7 square meters. This layout supports both a relaxed visit by the pool and a more social experience toward the end of service, between Thursday and Saturday.
