About This Guide
Cartagena has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Hotel Casa San Agustín, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Bastion Luxury Hotel offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks.
