Sonesta Hotel Cartagena
An icon of modern hospitality in Cartagena, the Sonesta Hotel Cartagena stands proudly in La Boquilla, where Colombia's rich Afro-Colombian culture meets the pristine shores of a 200-meter-long beach. Upon entering, guests are greeted by an open-air lobby that seamlessly flows into the vibrant atmosphere of its surrounding pools-three stunning pools, flanked by palm trees and plush sun loungers, beckon you for a dip or simply a moment of repose. The lobby's chic design features refreshing colors and striking decor, setting the tone for what is to come. Each suite offers amazing spaciousness; large master bedrooms outfitted with double beds and full bathrooms that boast invigorating hydromassage showers invite indulgence at every turn. Yet the true allure lies in the picturesque balconies and welcoming living spaces that transform a simple stay into a cherished experience. Dining is equally impressive at Kanoa Restaurant, where the coastal cuisine of fish, seafood, and hearty stews not only satisfies the palate but transports you to a relaxed and informal coastal atmosphere. For those looking to unwind, the spa offers tailored treatments designed for both relaxation and renewal.
