"I noticed the reimagined Casa Pestagua, which is housed in an 18th-century mansion." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Back in the 18th century, when the Count of Pestagua built his mansion in the heart of Cartagena’s old walled city, he meant to make a statement — namely that he was a man of tremendous means, with a house to match his status. Apparently humility wasn’t one of his virtues, but no matter; the Count’s hubris is our gain. Today Casa Pestagua remains one of the finest mansions in Cartagena, a colonial-era masterpiece modeled on the elegant Moorish palaces that were then so in vogue, recently restored to its old splendor and converted into an eleven-room hotel. The air of colonial elegance remains, from the peaceful courtyards to the sunny and spacious rooms, but a few centuries on, the ostentation isn’t nearly so much in evidence. These days the atmosphere is decidedly relaxed, with service that’s professional and friendly rather than stiffly formal." - Tablet Hotels
"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."
