Now Hotel

Cali’s coolest, sleekest hotel towers over Barrio Granada, with the lights from its second-floor disco or the lounge bar beside the rooftop pool cabanas flashing down on the street below during the evenings. The Now Hotel has gone through changes in name and ownership, though it finally seems to have found its footing. A central atrium filled with palm trees is surrounded with terraces and catwalks. The rooms are accented with modish leather armchairs and wall-sized contemporary photography, plus 400-thread-count sheets and state-of-the-art electronics like LCD TVs. Each has a furnished balcony. The property’s multiple bars and restaurants have become an anchor for the city’s nightlife scene, attracting a well-heeled crowd.
