{"type":"city","city":"Cartagena","citySlug":"cartagena","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/colombia/cartagena","description":"The walled city was built to resist — first pirates, then time. That resistance shows up in its hotels, most of which occupy colonial structures whose thick coral-stone walls and internal courtyards set the terms before any interior designer arrives. The challenge, repeated across Centro and San Diego, is whether to honor that mass or argue with it. The Sofitel Santa Clara takes the former approach with considerable authority: a seventeenth-century Franciscan convent converted with enough restraint to let the cloister do the talking, the nuns' former cells now forming a corridor of rooms that trade in quiet historical weight rather than decorative spectacle. Nearby, the Nacar Hotel in San Diego — part of Hilton's Curio Collection — pitches itself at a younger contemporary register, cleaner lines against old walls, and lands among the stronger design propositions in the portfolio at a price point that rewards attention.\n\nCentro holds most of the serious ambition. Casa San Agustin, assembled from three restored colonial houses on Calle de la Universidad, is the clearest argument for what money and patience can do with this typology: internal gardens, antique tile work, and a sense of accumulated domestic history that no amount of new-build hospitality can replicate. Casa Pestagua operates in a similar register — a grand Republican-era mansion in the historic center whose scale tips toward the theatrical — while Hotel Casa San Agustin stays closer to the intimate. The Charleston Santa Teresa and Casa del Coliseo round out Centro's offerings at a level that is solid without being architecturally distinctive, their period bones present but their interiors less resolved.\n\nGetsemani is where the city's logic shifts. Long dismissed as the working neighborhood outside the walls, it has spent the last decade becoming the place younger travelers and design-conscious visitors actually want to be — its street murals and neighborhood character giving it a texture that the walled city, for all its beauty, can feel too polished to possess. Hotel Capellan de Getsemani occupies a colonial house here at a price that acknowledges the neighborhood's rising profile without yet demanding the premium of San Diego or Centro. For a traveler whose interest runs toward the city's lived present rather than its curated past, the address matters as much as the room — and in Cartagena, that choice between the walls and just outside them is the most honest design decision the city asks you to make.","provider":{"name":"PressBeyond","url":"https://pressbeyond.com","description":"PressBeyond provides AI-optimized hotel content with a consistent 5-image structure across its entire portfolio.

Nacar Hotel Cartagena, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, was adapted from this historic mansion and opened in 2014 with 47 rooms arranged around the original courtyard, the colonial bones left deliberately visible — most forcefully in the restaurant arcade, where rough-hewn coral masonry and timber beam ceilings frame a candlelit dining room that opens onto the pool terrace through a series of double arches worn smooth with age.\n\nThe interior treatment deliberately works against those ancient surfaces rather than echoing them. Guest rooms are finished in cream limestone tile, white plaster, and walnut-veneer headboards with LED underlighting that gives the platform beds a weightless quality — a crisp, contemporary register that turns the thick-walled colonial shell into something closer to a background hum than a decorative statement. Indigo ikat cushions and striped textiles introduce local colour without tipping into folkloric territory. On the rooftop, a long lap pool edged in glass balustrade and lined with turquoise umbrellas and teak-framed daybeds sits entirely above the old city's roofline, the Caribbean light catching the water in a way that makes the sixteenth-century streets below feel like a different century entirely — which, of course, they are.","snippet":"A sixteenth-century mansion in San Diego with exposed coral

Histórico","designSummary":"Once the private mansion of a Spanish nobleman in Cartagena's walled city, the colonial palace that became Casa Pestagua has roots stretching back to the seventeenth century — its burnt-orange facade, white-painted balconies, and carved coral-stone portal among the most architecturally legible on the Calle del Estrecho. The restoration converted the historic structure into a eleven-room hotel while keeping the building's essential spatial logic intact: an arcaded interior courtyard of round stone columns and whitewashed arches anchors the plan, with a garden pool terrace carved from the rear of the property where mature frangipani and palm shade linen-cushioned sun loungers at dusk.\n\nInside, the interiors hold a dialogue between colonial fabric and restrained contemporary comfort. Original mudéjar-influenced timber ceilings with dark hardwood beams span the upper rooms, set against polished travertine floors and lime-washed walls in warm cream. Beds are dressed in blackened wrought-iron four-poster frames — their twisted finials connecting to a Spanish craft tradition — while carved mahogany chests and striped linen headboards suggest a palette calibrated more to the Caribbean than to Castile. The restaurant frames its dining room through a sequence of arched openings onto the courtyard, wagon-wheel iron chandeliers hanging above striped armchairs and gold-accented table settings, with a gilded relief panel of ibis and palms anchoring one wall. The cumulative effect is closer to a lovingly kept private house than a managed hotel property.","snippet":"A seventeenth-century colonial palace on Calle del Estrecho with original mudéjar ceilings and a stone-columned courtyard.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and colonial history collectors","vibe":"Colonial-intimate · curated","highlights":["Seventeenth-century Spanish colonial palace with original mudéjar timber ceilings","Arcaded courtyard with round stone columns and whitewashed arches","Eleven rooms in Cartagena's most photographed historic street"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$481","pricePerNightExclTax":"$481","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt8z30d01d385uw3g51i2141717078643322_aaaf8048-2870-470c-b16c-63f251a7b5e1.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Casa Pestagua — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Casa Pestagua · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Casa Pestagua captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt9082v01sp85uwf2e5e23s1717078693426_b9e611cb-52e4-47de-b471-7813ae155787.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Casa Pestagua — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Casa Pestagua · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Casa Pestagua, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt91ct1028b85uweoajka7i1717078660613_c73dba41-7a21-46ea-afb9-738a60c74410.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Casa Pestagua — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Casa Pestagua · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Casa Pestagua — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt92hng02nx85uwgy6pkln91717078724829_0f2dec36-64d6-4bfe-9f9e-a9cc7f935024.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Casa Pestagua — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Casa Pestagua · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Casa Pestagua, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clwt93mc6033j85uwpukh0osr1717078709436_79b5a2d4-8d75-4329-b33d-b99212772758.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Casa Pestagua — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Casa Pestagua · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Casa Pestagua — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Hotel Casa San Agustin","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/colombia/cartagena/hotel-casa-san-agustin","city":"Cartagena","cityHeader":"Cartagena • Centro • OVER THE TOP","neighborhood":"Centro","loyaltyProgram":"LHW Leaders Club","designSummary":"Three seventeenth-century colonial houses along Calle de la Iglesia in Cartagena's walled city were carefully stitched together to create Casa San Agustin, a 31-room property whose renovation preserved enough of the original fabric to make the intervention feel less like restoration and more like archaeology. The street facade alone tells the story: lime-rendered walls in cream and ochre, turned wooden balustrades projecting from dark timber balconies, carved stone door surrounds, and louvered shutters that have been filtering Caribbean heat from these openings for centuries.\n\nInside, the design leans into the accumulated weight of the buildings rather than smoothing it away. Polished limestone floors run through the guest rooms beneath heavy exposed timber ceiling beams, the furniture — iron four-poster beds with rope suspension, lyre-legged benches in dark hardwood, barley-twist painted nightstands — placed with enough restraint that the colonial architecture carries the atmosphere rather than competing with it. Botanical-print drapes in soft greens bring the courtyard garden's palette indoors. The bar, tall-ceilinged and chandelier-lit with crystal pendants, lines its walls floor-to-roof with diamond wine racks in stained wood, the effect warm rather than theatrical. Most arresting of all is the courtyard pool, enclosed by a towering raw masonry wall — its plaster long since worn back to bare coral stone — that no amount of contemporary hotel design could convincingly manufacture.","snippet":"Three joined 17th-century colonial houses in Cartagena's walled city with original timber beams and a raw-stone courtyard pool.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and collectors in Cartagena","vibe":"Colonial-restrained · layered","highlights":["Three 17th-century colonial houses merged into one property","Exposed timber beams and polished limestone throughout guest rooms","Courtyard pool framed by centuries-old raw coral-stone masonry"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$732","pricePerNightExclTax":"$732","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyjyq041l15u7ug97imxn1713349417750_aff24c11-4704-44db-8c57-16566d865253.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Hotel Casa San Agustin — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Hotel Casa San Agustin · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Hotel Casa San Agustin captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0typq4053j15u77quuv3bj1713349417200_442c6df8-ddb5-4b29-aebe-13cef5a9bead.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Hotel Casa San Agustin — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Hotel Casa San Agustin · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Hotel Casa San Agustin, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyvg8065115u7moywt5ts1713349419125_da420401-6557-4255-92a1-28cd4d52862f.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Hotel Casa San Agustin — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Hotel Casa San Agustin · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Hotel Casa San Agustin — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz194077115u7gc5db11c1713349419822_69f4524f-061d-4c4f-af91-90d42952e14a.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Hotel Casa San Agustin — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Hotel Casa San Agustin · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Hotel Casa San Agustin, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz71z088x15u7e9yv1q491713349420515_d69f803c-0871-4d8d-93bc-e449f3a8a07e.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Hotel Casa San Agustin — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Hotel Casa San Agustin · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Hotel Casa San Agustin — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/colombia/cartagena/movich-hotel-cartagena-de-indias","city":"Cartagena","cityHeader":"Cartagena • Centro • OPTIMIZE","neighborhood":"Centro","designSummary":"Within the walled city of Cartagena de Indias, where Spanish colonial facades line streets unchanged in their proportions since the sixteenth century, the challenge for any contemporary hotel is how to insert modern comfort without reducing the historic fabric to mere backdrop. Movich Hotel Cartagena de Indias answers that tension by treating the old city's vernacular as a starting point rather than a costume — the street elevation presents iron-grille windows, cream-painted stucco, and a wrought-iron balustrade that belong entirely to the neighborhood, while the rooftop reveals a glass-balustrade infinity pool with an unobstructed sightline directly over the baroque domes of the Church of San Pedro Claver toward the Caribbean.\n\nInside, the interiors move toward a warm coastal minimalism that keeps the colonial shell legible without mimicking it.

The restaurant is perhaps the most considered space: woven rattan pendant lamps cluster across the ceiling in a canopy that echoes local craft traditions, teak armchairs with white cushions and navy stripe runners sit against floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames a lush interior courtyard of palms and tropical planting, the whole composition sitting comfortably between contemporary Colombian hospitality design and the enduring atmosphere of the walled city outside.","snippet":"Contemporary hotel within Cartagena's walled city, with rooftop Caribbean views and interiors that honor colonial architecture without mimicry.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts exploring colonial Cartagena","vibe":"Coastal-minimal · historic","highlights":["Rooftop infinity pool overlooking San Pedro Claver church and Caribbean","Guest rooms with exposed coral stone walls and local travertine","Colonial facade preserved; interiors use rattan and teak without pastiche"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$279","pricePerNightExclTax":"$279","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyk67042x15u7h737s5nt1713349571115_8fafbbd8-79d1-4004-a218-628e52cf4e1a.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0typy5054w15u7fqo65suh1713349570513_c99c70e0-dac8-4f1d-b324-5c51dde259c6.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyvt4066x15u7o4y0w8731713349572193_49789e2f-6a9b-4fb6-ad0e-b2864e78bf5c.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz1jb078v15u7vg98uo2i1713349572805_08c1313c-74b8-4d7f-8dd7-00d820b37ebe.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz7dx08al15u7kniygtmq1713349573318_117aeb58-d8f0-48f1-8b36-83fbbfb0948f.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Movich Hotel Cartagena De Indias — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Hotel Casa Del Coliseo","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/colombia/cartagena/hotel-casa-del-coliseo","city":"Cartagena","cityHeader":"Cartagena • Centro • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Centro","designSummary":"At a street corner in Cartagena's walled city, where terracotta roof tiles cascade across ochre and cream facades in the manner the Spanish colonial grid has maintained for four centuries, a restored republican-era casa señorial carries on its second life as Hotel Casa Del Coliseo. The building presents its characteristic mustard-yellow plasterwork and dark timber balconies draped in trailing greenery — the standard vocabulary of the Centro histórico, handled here with enough restraint to feel genuine rather than curated. Wooden louvered shutters open onto the street-facing balconies, the ironwork painted white in the traditional manner, while the clay tile roofline steps and turns around the corner plot in a rhythm that belongs entirely to its neighborhood.\n\nInside, the interiors work a familiar Colombian boutique hotel register: exposed dark hardwood ceiling beams over whitewashed plaster walls, wide-plank stone floors in the guest rooms, and upholstered linen headboards in pale grey and sage that defer quietly to the architecture rather than competing with it. The common sala rises to an exposed timber truss ceiling, furnished with cream sofas and carved wooden armchairs grouped around a turned-leg coffee table beneath a crystal chandelier — a combination that sits closer to a well-appointed private house than a hotel lobby. On the rooftop, a compact plunge pool set in travertine-toned stone terrace overlooks the colonial roofscape, bougainvillea climbing the neighboring coral-washed walls at dusk.","snippet":"A restored 19th-century casa in Cartagena's Centro with original colonial details and a rooftop pool.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts exploring Cartagena's walled city","vibe":"Colonial-authentic · intimate","highlights":["Republican-era casa señorial with original mustard plasterwork and timber balconies","Rooftop plunge pool overlooking four centuries of colonial roofscape","Interiors preserve exposed beams and stone floors without over-restoration"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$293","pricePerNightExclTax":"$293","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyjof040315u7jzvv3ks41713351890605_be448aef-3389-40d8-9517-5232e65ccbef.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Hotel Casa Del Coliseo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Hotel Casa Del Coliseo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Hotel Casa Del Coliseo captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0typiq052315u7m1skva2s1713351891998_4783ae97-64d8-4482-8298-650f740cc691.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Hotel Casa Del Coliseo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Hotel Casa Del Coliseo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Hotel Casa Del Coliseo, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyv8m064115u7f0256t2t1713351892439_18f10f3f-d655-49f6-82dc-b2941cb7bf58.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Hotel Casa Del Coliseo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Hotel Casa Del Coliseo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Hotel Casa Del Coliseo — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz13e075z15u7iy9q9zgh1713351893082_634c7863-6078-4a64-a8e4-f77a26016bfa.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Hotel Casa Del Coliseo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Hotel Casa Del Coliseo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Hotel Casa Del Coliseo, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz6wh087x15u7mncphpwr1713351893626_139e46ce-c841-442f-9fd2-48c5593d8a26.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Hotel Casa Del Coliseo — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Hotel Casa Del Coliseo · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Hotel Casa Del Coliseo — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/colombia/cartagena/hotel-charleston-santa-teresa","city":"Cartagena","cityHeader":"Cartagena • Centro • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Centro","designSummary":"At the edge of Cartagena's walled city, where the Baluarte de Santa Teresa once formed part of the colonial fortifications protecting Colombia's Caribbean coast, a Republican-era building was transformed into one of the old town's most architecturally coherent hotels. Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa is set within a structure whose ochre facade, arched entrance portal, and white-painted balustrades align with the civic scale of the surrounding historic district — the exterior photograph revealing a five-storey building whose cornice detailing and rusticated base hold their own against the centuries-old city walls nearby.\n\nThe interior atrium is the spatial heart of the property: five galleries of white-balconied corridors rising around a planted courtyard where cascading ficus vines descend the full height of the building, rattan medallion-back chairs arranged at cream-draped tables below. It is an arrangement that borrows as much from the Spanish colonial patio tradition as from grand-hotel convention. Guest rooms carry the palette of the Caribbean itself — walls finished in washed periwinkle and lavender, floors in polished cream limestone or inlaid stone tile, carved timber headboards scaled generously against the room's volume. The rooftop pool, lined in travertine and framed by low glass balustrades, positions the dome of the Iglesia de San Pedro Claver directly in its sightline, with the towers of Bocagrande's modern skyline closing the horizon beyond the bay.","snippet":"A Republican-era hotel at Cartagena's city edge with a five-story planted atrium and rooftop pool overlooking the bay.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts exploring colonial Cartagena","vibe":"Colonial-modern · intimate","highlights":["Republican-era building respecting walled city's historic scale","Five-story atrium with cascading ficus and colonial patio tradition","Rooftop pool framing Iglesia de San Pedro Claver dome"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$329","pricePerNightExclTax":"$329","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyjy7041b15u7b3tvyrbk1713348910006_aa5301ef-f2bb-4d44-909d-50861cd818a1.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0typom053915u7k36i7ye81713348911603_0b6c2ba6-38a9-4444-8598-acf50470752a.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyvkr065n15u77xklep1p1713348912189_be5bc4cd-1b71-4b61-bb74-cd07eda788a4.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz1cs077l15u74brryg821713348912802_e379340c-76ec-4265-8f5b-2f3404df426f.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz74x089d15u7eqjzupbd1713348913422_156a7b3d-7f6c-4d59-9551-e3d8e684ae54.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Hotel Capellan de Getsemani","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/colombia/cartagena/hotel-capellan-de-getsemani","city":"Cartagena","cityHeader":"Cartagena • Getsemani • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"Getsemani","loyaltyProgram":"I Prefer","designSummary":"Getsemani was, for most of Cartagena's tourist history, the neighbourhood visitors passed through rather than stayed in — a dense, working-class barrio of colonial casas and street murals pressed against the walled city's southern gate. Hotel Capellán de Getsemaní changed that calculus when it was fitted into a restored two-storey colonial mansion on Calle de la Sierpe, its pale celadon facade, dark timber balustrades, and terracotta roof tiles restored to a condition that honours the original Spanish colonial construction rather than sanitising it. The coral stone door surrounds visible at street level are characteristic of Cartagena's sixteenth and seventeenth-century vernacular, and the hotel wears them without apology.\n\nInside, the eighteen rooms navigate between colonial structure and contemporary comfort with some confidence. The grander suites retain exposed dark wood ceiling beams and black-and-white marble chequerboard floors, furnished with cane settees and upholstered headboards in pale linen — an atmosphere closer to a well-appointed Caribbean casa than a polished international hotel. Smaller rooms trade the beams for clean plaster ceilings but keep the dark-stained louvred shutters and travertine floors that maintain material continuity throughout. The rooftop pool terrace, clad in stone tile and travertine, sits above the neighbourhood's red-tiled roofscape at a level that catches the Caribbean evening light, the adjacent bar tiled in diamond-patterned encaustic. The Clero restaurant below, with its emerald velvet banquettes, antique mirror bar wall, and patterned cement-tile floor, completes the picture — considered without being overwrought.","snippet":"A restored colonial mansion in Getsemani with exposed beams, travertine floors, and a rooftop pool above the neighborhood's terracotta roofscape.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts exploring Cartagena's colonial neighborhoods","vibe":"Colonial-contemporary · intimate","highlights":["Restored colonial mansion with exposed ceiling beams and coral stone details","Eighteen rooms with dark-stained shutters and travertine floors throughout","Rooftop pool terrace overlooking Getsemani's red-tiled roofscape"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$350","pricePerNightExclTax":"$350","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tykc1043x15u7zvgvyr171713351672095_f1e2871d-1888-4de0-8961-5028257e65cb.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Hotel Capellan de Getsemani — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Hotel Capellan de Getsemani · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Hotel Capellan de Getsemani captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyq39055w15u7k0v6qqym1713351673400_7009d121-b019-4646-a5a6-c2adad716b6f.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Hotel Capellan de Getsemani — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Hotel Capellan de Getsemani · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Hotel Capellan de Getsemani, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyvxj067r15u71vbl5yxg1713351674009_9e97b9e5-3626-4c89-ae1d-8e0bb7eca1bc.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Hotel Capellan de Getsemani — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Hotel Capellan de Getsemani · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Hotel Capellan de Getsemani — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz1o2079p15u7zi0nl4ab1713351674653_431155e9-4fb3-4b02-95d4-55b86d8c12e8.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Hotel Capellan de Getsemani — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Hotel Capellan de Getsemani · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Hotel Capellan de Getsemani, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz7lo08bn15u7542cv8tw1713351675286_e591b0b9-fb19-4408-81b1-2ac7fa8ac80e.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Hotel Capellan de Getsemani — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Hotel Capellan de Getsemani · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Hotel Capellan de Getsemani — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]},{"name":"Sofitel Santa Clara","url":"https://www.pressbeyond.com/hotels/colombia/cartagena/sofitel-santa-clara","city":"Cartagena","cityHeader":"Cartagena • San Diego • SPLURGE","neighborhood":"San Diego","loyaltyProgram":"ALL - Accor","designSummary":"A seventeenth-century Spanish colonial convent in Cartagena's walled city, built by the Clarissa order in 1621 and later converted into a military hospital, provides the Sofitel Santa Clara with a structural identity that no amount of new construction could manufacture. The five-storey ochre facade, arched colonnades, and red-tiled roofline belong entirely to the colonial period; what French architect Philippe Starck's original 1995 intervention introduced was the tension between that weight of history and a deliberately sensual, atmospheric interior language. The 123 rooms divide between the original convent building, where whitewashed vaulted ceilings, original timber rafters, and antique four-poster beds draped in sheer linen give the suites the atmosphere of inhabited ruins, and a newer wing whose rooms are finished in pale oak headboards, polished travertine floors, and indigo linen throws — cleaner and more conventionally resort in register.\n\nThe contrast is most legible moving through the public spaces: the bar, set under exposed wooden ceiling beams with leather-bound shelving, iron columns, and cream upholstery around a lit river-stone channel, carries a colonial merchant-house warmth that the pool courtyard — tall palms flanking a long rectangular pool within a symmetrical arcaded courtyard lit gold at dusk — transforms into something more openly theatrical. The rooftop terrace, its limestone seating platforms and wicker chairs arranged beneath strings of Edison bulbs with the Caribbean horizon beyond, draws the whole conversation between old stone and easy tropical living to its most pleasurable conclusion.","snippet":"A 1621 Spanish colonial convent in Cartagena's walled city, reimagined by Philippe Starck with original architecture and rooftop Caribbean views.","bestFor":"Architecture enthusiasts and history travelers","vibe":"Colonial-sensual · atmospheric","highlights":["Seventeenth-century Clarissa convent converted by Philippe Starck in 1995","Rooms in original building feature vaulted ceilings and timber rafters","Rooftop terrace with Caribbean views and Edison bulb lighting"],"pricePerNightInclTax":"$397","pricePerNightExclTax":"$397","currency":"USD","images":[{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyk2l042515u7uuefylfk1713349241796_6b497740-e7d5-40d6-b34f-6b4937e6b39d.jpeg","role":"exterior","roleLabel":"Exterior","sequenceIndex":1,"alt":"Sofitel Santa Clara — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #1 — Exterior","caption":"Exterior · Sofitel Santa Clara · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full building facade of Sofitel Santa Clara captured from a street-level angle as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0typt7054315u7r6ir2amw1713349243099_4e2a7194-3b99-4dbd-8d4b-82bed156d504.jpeg","role":"room1","roleLabel":"Primary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":2,"alt":"Sofitel Santa Clara — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #2 — Primary Guest Room","caption":"Primary Guest Room · Sofitel Santa Clara · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Full-room view of the primary guest bedroom at Sofitel Santa Clara, photographed with natural lighting and clear sightlines as part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tyvqe066j15u79d3z2jny1713349243601_7f7f0c32-ca6b-4c59-a20a-988937b5fc23.jpeg","role":"commonArea1","roleLabel":"Primary Common Area","sequenceIndex":3,"alt":"Sofitel Santa Clara — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #3 — Primary Common Area","caption":"Primary Common Area · Sofitel Santa Clara · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Primary common area at Sofitel Santa Clara — lobby or lounge — non-duplicative with the secondary social space, part of the PressBeyond standardized 5-image hotel sequence.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz1he078h15u7hqvgkc2x1713349244282_04b867cb-909a-41c4-83a3-28e75def9510.jpeg","role":"room2","roleLabel":"Secondary Guest Room","sequenceIndex":4,"alt":"Sofitel Santa Clara — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #4 — Secondary Guest Room","caption":"Secondary Guest Room · Sofitel Santa Clara · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary guest room at Sofitel Santa Clara, deliberately distinct from the primary bedroom — non-duplicative imagery is part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true},{"url":"https://d89wdvrh3yrgq.cloudfront.net/resized/L__clv0tz7bq08a515u7ix7ph0721713349244896_20cc457a-d2c6-4d4e-b8f4-f77a6109254d.jpeg","role":"commonArea2","roleLabel":"Secondary Common Area","sequenceIndex":5,"alt":"Sofitel Santa Clara — Standardized Hotel Image Sequence #5 — Secondary Common Area","caption":"Secondary Common Area · Sofitel Santa Clara · PressBeyond hotel series","description":"Secondary lounge or social space at Sofitel Santa Clara — bar, dining, or terrace — deliberately distinct from the primary common area, part of the PressBeyond curation standard.","creditText":"PressBeyond","licensePage":"https://pressbeyond.com","distinct":true}]}]}
