When we think about wellness therapies or recovery, we usually imagine a medical office, a clinic or a specialized center. At Wake Biohotel we wanted to imagine it differently. Our idea was to bring that care into the stay itself, so that rest, science and recovery become part of the experience of being a guest.
That is how we understand biohacking through hospitality. Not as something complicated, but as a set of tools and spaces that help your body rest better while you enjoy Medellín.
Medellín and a new way of thinking about wellness
Medellín is living a special moment. Its urban and cultural transformation has caught the attention of international media, and publications like Condé Nast Traveler have highlighted it as one of the most vibrant destinations in Latin America, known for its innovation, food and design.
In that context, more travelers are arriving in the city looking for something beyond sightseeing. They want to rest, recover and take care of themselves. Wake Biohotel was born to welcome them, as a biohotel in Medellín where hospitality, wellness and technology work together.
What it means to be a biohotel in Medellín
The idea behind Wake Biohotel is simple to explain, even if it took a lot of work to build. We wanted a hotel where science, deep rest and restorative practices come together under the same roof.
Revista Semana described it as one of the first spaces in Latin America designed under the idea of wellness meets science. For us, that phrase sums up what we try to do every day, and it is also part of a larger movement of wellness tourism in Colombia, with more and more travelers who want their stay to have a real effect on how they feel.
Architecture designed for calm
The building covers more than 15,000 m² and was designed with one intention: helping the body feel calm and balanced. Circadian lighting that follows the natural rhythm of the day, materials chosen to avoid sensory overload and spaces designed to feel quiet are all part of the way we built the hotel.
It shares the aesthetic care you would expect from luxury hotels in Medellín, but every design decision was made with rest and recovery in mind. We wanted the space itself to help you slow down from the moment you walk in.
BioRooms, the heart of the experience
Our BioRooms are where the idea of wellness meets science feels most real. They were designed for guests who want to rest deeply and give their body time to recover, bringing together restorative technology and carefully chosen sensory details.
Each BioRoom includes PEMF infrared therapy, a technology used to support circulation and muscle recovery. There is also a sleep menu with aromatherapy and glasses that block blue light, to help the body prepare for rest at night. And the environment itself, from the light to the sound and the materials, is designed to create the best possible conditions for a good night’s sleep.
For travelers who care about their health, this changes what a hotel room can be. It stops being only a place to sleep and becomes part of how you take care of yourself during the trip.
Rest, food and longevity in one place
The experience does not end in the room. SILO, our conscious dining space, brings nutrition into the stay with food designed to support energy and balance. And the Sastra Longevity Club offers personalized programs for those who want to go deeper into longevity and wellness.
Together, these spaces connect rest, food and movement in a natural way, so taking care of yourself becomes part of your days in Medellín.
Medellín on the map of wellness tourism
Projects like Wake Biohotel are part of how Medellín is becoming a destination for wellness tourism in Colombia. The city is growing into a place where comfort, sustainability and science can live together, and we are happy to be part of that story.
For us, it is not about creating a new category or being the first. It is about offering a hotel in Medellín where people rest better, feel better and leave with habits they can take home.
