Colombiamoda, one of Latin America's leading fashion business events, takes place at Plaza Mayor Medellin in Medellin, Colombia, with its 2027 edition expected in July (dates expected). Organised annually, it brings together apparel and textile manufacturers, designers, brands, retailers and international buyers from across the Americas and beyond for trade halls, runway shows, sourcing pavilions, knowledge sessions and networking. As a cornerstone of Colombia's fashion and textile industry, it fills Plaza Mayor and animates the surrounding city with thousands of trade visitors over its run. Demand for hotels across El Poblado, Laureles and the central districts rises sharply during fashion week, as delegates cluster in the neighbourhoods with the best dining and transport links to the venue. Rooms within convenient reach of Plaza Mayor book up early and rates climb as buyers and brands converge, so late planners risk staying far from the action or paying a premium. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from Plaza Mayor Medellin, so you can see exactly how close each property sits before you commit.
