Our Picks — Cartagena
Old City
Inhabiting a 17th-century Clarist convent within the walled city, Sofitel Legend Santa Clara is unquestionably Colombia's most romantic hotel. The convent cloister, saltwater pool in the former garden, and impeccable French-Colombian service create an experience of rare depth.
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.
Old City
A magnificently restored 16th-century merchant palace on one of the walled city's most beautiful streets, Casa Pestagua offers just nine suites of extraordinary beauty — carved wooden ceilings, colonial antiques, and a courtyard pool that invites pure indolence.
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.
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
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.
