The Club Cartagena inscription carved into the balustrade of a blush-painted beaux-arts facade tells only part of the story. That 1920s building is one of several centuries-old Getsemaní landmarks — among them a 16th-century San Francisco cloister and temple — that WATG, led by principal architect José María Rodríguez with historic restoration work by Ricardo Sánchez and Angelina Vélez, has unified into the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena, opening in 2026 as one of the most architecturally layered hotel projects in South America. The program brings 131 rooms across 27 Spanish colonial-style heritage rooms and contemporary additions, a glass atrium lobby, two rooftop pools, and a ballroom sheltering a rediscovered centuries-old fresco beneath a brick dome. The interiors navigate between those inherited layers with real intelligence. François Catroux served as lead interior designer — a posthumous commission — giving the guest rooms their warm terracotta palette: floor-to-ceiling leather headboards with nailhead borders, carved colonial-style chests, geometric-print textiles drawn from regional craft traditions. AvroKO handled the food and beverage spaces, and the restaurant visible in the images shows their hand clearly: Art Deco pendant lights in bronze and amber glass, dark stone bar tops, branching metalwork framing the back-bar alcove. From the rooftop pool, teak loungers face across a terracotta skyline toward the domed bulk of San Pedro Claver, the whole composition bathed in the amber Caribbean dusk that Cartagena does better than anywhere.
