Cartagena de Indias
Colonial-meets-contemporary boutique luxury. Pared-back design with local materials — limestone walls, native wood, exposed stone in some suites. Intimate and calm without being stuffy.

Why It Matters
The only hotel in Cartagena's walled city that belongs to Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Also bookable with Hilton Honors points (65,000 points per night for a standard room) after joining the Hilton portfolio in mid-2024. The rooftop pool and bar with panoramic views of the old city is widely considered the best hotel vantage point in the centro histórico.
A 32-room boutique hotel inside Cartagena's UNESCO World Heritage walled city, set in a restored colonial building on a cobblestone street steps from the Clock Tower. Rooms blend sleek contemporary lines with Caribbean warmth — local artwork, tiled floors, and accents of traditional caña flecha (the woven material of the iconic sombrero vueltiao). But guests keep coming back for the rooftop: a small infinity pool with 360-degree views over the historic center and the bay, paired with Alyzia's bar and international restaurant.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Bayside Suite
The top room in the house. Book this if you want a private balcony overlooking either the old town or the sea. Some suites have exposed stone walls from the original heritage building — a genuine architectural detail that sets them apart. Limestone walls, native wood furnishings, and local crafts complete the look.
King
Luxury King Room
A step up from the Superior in size and finishes. Still anchored in the same Caribbean-contemporary aesthetic — local artwork, tiled floors, warm accents — but with more breathing room and elevated details.
KingPremium King Room
The mid-tier premium option, offering more space and enhanced amenities. Rooms in this category may include balcony views or additional premium furnishings, positioned between the Luxury King and the Bayside Suite.
KingSuperior King Room
The entry-level room and — honestly — the workhorse of this hotel. Modern design with natural textures: stone, wood, and tiled floors. Rooms are compact but well-appointed. The bathroom features a spacious walk-in rainfall shower and complimentary toiletries. AC works well, which matters in Cartagena's heat.
