In the hotel’s own words

Welcome to our 18th-century mansion renovated in 2022, located in the walled city of Cartagena de Indias, declared a historical and cultural heritage site by UNESCO. The house retains its colonial structure in which its double-height ceilings and Moorish-inspired arches with great architectural value stand out; its internal gardens with lush vegetation frame the landscape of the time, recreating an atmosphere of romanticism, relaxation and luxurious comfort. Casa Pestagua, a member of Relais & Chateaux, is the only hotel in Colombia that belongs to this prestigious international luxury brand.
