We work to reduce and manage waste responsibly across all hotel operations. Food waste is minimized through production planning, menu engineering strategies, and the use of locally sourced seasonal ingredients.

Through our on-site water bottling plant, we have reduced annual single-use plastic consumption by 90% by replacing disposable bottles with reusable glass bottles.

Circularity also drives our mixology laboratory, where peels, seeds, and other organic by-products are transformed into flavored salts, ferments, and garnishes for our bars. In addition, we operate a comprehensive waste separation program and collaborate with local partners to promote composting and responsible waste management.

Hyatt Regency Cartagena is deeply connected to Cartagena’s cultural and natural heritage. Our spaces feature pre-Columbian influences, local craftsmanship, and design elements inspired by the Colombian Caribbean.

We support local suppliers, artisans, and community initiatives that help preserve cultural heritage, biodiversity, and social development in Cartagena.

Through our Amigos de Algodón program, hotel colleagues transform recovered textile scraps into unique handcrafted dolls. Every doll sold helps provide meals for a child for one month through our partnership with Fundación Alimentar, creating social impact through creativity, reuse, and community engagement.
