Stay At This Cultural Haven On Your Next Trip To Cartagena - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel

"Set in a restored 18th-century colonial mansion in Cartagena’s walled city, this five-star boutique hotel reopened after a $15 million renovation that preserved Spanish architectural details—such as grand arches and a Moorish fountain—while adding modern comforts. The property, the country’s only Relais & Châteaux hotel, offers 16 uniquely decorated rooms and suites (with five new suites added during the renovation), traditional furnishings and Colombian art, a refurbished lobby, a fully equipped gym, and access to the Aurum Spa at Casa San Agustin. Guests congregate in the lush central courtyard with its outdoor swimming pool, and an onsite gourmet restaurant led by chef Herberto Eljach plus an adjoining bar provide food and drink options. Its central location puts Cartagena’s major attractions within easy walking distance; rates begin around $350/night."
