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
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
Created by Colombian fashion designer Silvia Tcherassi, this intimate boutique hotel is a work of sculptural artistry — bold colours, contemporary design within colonial walls, and a pool terrace that is among the most photogenic in all of Cartagena.
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.
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.
Old City
Masterfully assembled from three 17th-century colonial houses, Casa San Agustín is a study in refined restraint — exposed wooden beams, hand-painted tiles, three swimming pools, and a devotion to personalised service that makes 31 rooms feel like an entire world.
