In "Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar" (via New York Post), DEA agent Javier F. Peña described La Catedral as "a country club filled with luxury items, such as state-of-the-art televisions, refrigerators, and stereo equipment."
The New York Post reports that Peña even tried sleeping in Pablo Escobar's former bed one night. "It was comfortable," Peña recalled, "large and custom-made, with a base of concrete and two firm mattresses stacked on top of each other."
Despite Escobar's own comfy quarters, which Peña deemed "the lion's lair," the drug lord roamed the place freely. "Escobar never slept in the same place for more than two consecutive nights," Peña recalled. "He used the nearby cottages for parties and alternated sleeping in each of them. They were all beautifully appointed, with planters, hanging baskets and luxurious upholstery and drapes. One of them had a bathroom built like a bunker, with reinforced cement walls that must have been more than 3 feet thick."
