DESCRIPTION
A city of great conquests and conquistadors wait for you in the magical Colombian Caribbean. We open the doors to a strategic hotel tower located facing the renowned ‘Bocagrande’ beaches, overlooking the Cartagena Bay and combining the modern city with the majestic colonial city.
Fun and enjoyment are guaranteed in a Caribbean and Cosmopolitan corner, loaded with history that will infuse you with its everyday tropical and “Garcia-Marquezian” reality.
During the day you may visit the historical center with its colorful architecture, its monumental walls and narrow streets. Don’t forget to make a stop at the San Felipe de Barajas Castle, a huge building that has witnessed the heroic Colombian battles.
Additionally, an intense night awaits with many emotions with music, shows and an exquisite gastronomical offer that you may enjoy at our hotel or booking a dinner at our Café de la Plaza de San Pedro restaurant, located in the best area of the walled city.
From this destination, you may also visit other important cities in the northern zone of Colombia, considered “Pearls of the Caribbean”, among which are Barranquilla, commercial, river and sea port and seat to the Carnival; also, historic Santa Marta, seat of the Fiestas del Sol y del Mar and known as the “Most Beautiful Bay of America” for its spectacular landscape between the beach and the Sierra Nevada.
