Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena marks the brand’s long-anticipated arrival in one of Latin America’s most culturally charged coastal cities, introducing a meticulously restored, multi-building property in the heart of Getsemaní. Set just steps from the UNESCO-listed Walled City, the hotel brings together a layered collection of historic structures—including the 16th-century San Francisco Temple and the Beaux-Arts Club Cartagena—reimagined as a cohesive, highly orchestrated hospitality destination. The project is defined by a nuanced design approach. Late French designer François Catroux shaped key interiors, working alongside WATG and Wimberly Interiors, while AvroKO led the food and beverage concepts—each studio contributing to a broader narrative that balances preservation with contemporary expression. Across 131 rooms and suites, the accommodation ranges from compact Colonial Rooms to the expansive Catroux Suite, complete with private terrace and dedicated elevator access, reinforcing a sense of scale that moves fluidly between intimacy and statement.
Dining operates as a central pillar rather than an adjunct. Eight distinct venues are distributed across the property, including a steakhouse set within the former Club Cartagena, the speakeasy-style El Aljibe, and a Neapolitan pizzeria housed inside a converted church. A rooftop bar frames panoramic views across the Old Town and Caribbean, while a Colombian coffee café anchors the daytime rhythm, grounding the experience in local ritual as much as global expectation. Elsewhere, the Umari Spa—set within a restored cloister—extends the property’s dialogue between past and present, pairing historic architecture with a contemporary wellness lens. With entry-level rates starting at approximately $525 per night, alongside an opening offer that includes a 20% saving and daily breakfast, the hotel positions itself as both a cultural landmark and a strategic anchor within Cartagena’s evolving luxury landscape—less a standalone opening than a signal of where the market is heading.
