Old City
Set within a transformed bastion of the city walls, Bastion Luxury Hotel is Cartagena's most dramatically sited property — with rooftop terraces directly atop the ancient fortifications and a rooftop pool that overlooks the entire walled city.
Old City
A beautifully considered 8-room boutique in the heart of the walled city, Amarla offers an intimate, owner-attended alternative to the grander colonial palaces — with a charming pool courtyard and a design sensibility rooted in Caribbean modernism.
Old City
A garden-centred colonial retreat in the quieter San Diego quarter, Quadrifolio is celebrated as one of Colombia's finest boutique hotels. Its lush courtyard, individually decorated rooms, and remarkably attentive service justify every laudatory review.
Getsemaní
A pioneering luxury boutique in the artistic neighbourhood of Getsemaní, Casa del Coliseo demonstrates that the most exciting hospitality in Cartagena no longer necessarily sits inside the old walls. Bold murals, a beautiful pool, and genuine neighbourhood immersion.
Old City
Occupying a restored 17th-century convent on Plaza Santa Teresa, the Charleston is the walled city's grandest traditional luxury hotel — with a celebrated rooftop pool, excellent spa, and the Alma restaurant earning consistent acclaim.
San Diego
Tucked into the quieter San Diego neighbourhood within the walls, Hotel LM is a discreetly luxurious option beloved by repeat Cartagena visitors for its tranquillity, rooftop pool, excellent service, and the understated elegance of its 11 rooms.
