Our Favourite Rooms

Decorated in soothing whites and dashes of aquamarine, rooms put a contemporary spin on earthy Colombian style. The striking bathrooms are dressed with marble and Moorish tiles. With tactile furnishings, shuttered windows and exposed timber beams, Deluxe Rooms have the feel of a private residence; some have elegant four-poster beds. Hideaway romantics will love the Premium Rooms’ private patio and mosaic-tiled plunge pools. Book the Suite Del Virrey for unbeatable city views from its two rooftop terraces and outdoor Jacuzzi.

Poolside

Framed by towering tropical plants, the heated freshwater pool slinks around the courtyard, passing beneath a striking antique wall that once separated two properties. It can be lively in the evenings: guests can bask in the refreshing waters until 10pm.

Food & Drink

Top Table

If you can tear your eyes away from the original Colombian art in the candlelit dining room, pick a table in the courtyard for an enchanting alfresco dinner.

着装要求

Stick to loose cuts and breathable fabrics in the hot and humid clime, but bring designer accessories to feel at home in the hotel’s sophisticated atmosphere.

Hotel Restaurant

Oversized lanterns, comfy leather banquettes and luxuriant foliage decorate Alma’s refined dining room, which stretches out to the poolside courtyard. Chef Eljach’s contemporary Colombian cuisine makes the most of the area’s freshly caught seafood and exotic produce: expect zesty ceviche, sesame-crusted tuna and dry-aged churrasco.

Hotel Bar

Commandeer one of the sofas in the courtyard for an evening in. The resident mixologists whip up inventive twists on south-American classics: don’t miss the Humo Dulce, a concoction of tequila, mango and sriracha – a fiery accompaniment to conch croquettes and octopus carpaccio.

Breakfast is served 7am–11am, lunch 12.30pm–3.30pm and dinner 7.30pm–11pm.

Room Service

In-room feasts such as lobster empanadas, Angus beef burgers and grilled sea bass can be ordered round the clock.

Planes

A 20-minute taxi ride from the hotel, Cartagena’s Rafael Nuñez International Airport has direct flights from New York and Miami, and seasonal flights from Canada. Connecting flights through Bogota are available to most major international cities.

Automobiles

The beaches are easily accessible by taxi and you won’t need a car to explore the walled city, but if you do bring your own wheels, the nearby Salomon Ganem building has indoor parking for around US$8 an hour.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Much of Cartagena’s charm lies in its atmospheric walled city: set out on foot for a glimpse of the colourful history that played out among the picturesque churches and sorbet-hued colonial buildings. Framed by Baroque mansions and stately architecture, leafy Plaza de Bolívar is a good place to start. Gawp at bone-crushing devices in the Palacio de la Inquisición; nearby, the Zenú Gold Museum houses a rather more palatable collection of pre-Colombian artefacts and delicate indigenous filigree work. For a more up-to-date look at the nation’s cultural landscape, browse the stylish boutiques or head to the Museo de Arte Moderno to admire works by Alejandro Obrego, Fernando Botero, and Enrique Grau – Colombia’s native talent. The sea may sparkle enticingly beyond the city walls, but, bustling with touts and party-goers, Cartagena’s urban beaches are no Caribbean idyll. For clear waters and protected coral reefs, head to the Islas del Rosario; the hotel can arrange a trip on a private yacht and a chef to whip up an on-board feast.
