Hotel Casa Pestagua
Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
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.
Colonial grandeur meets contemporary glamour at Casa Pestagua. A 17th-century, Moorish-inspired palace located in the center of Cartagena with just 16 unique accommodations, the hotel showcases double-height ceilings, beautiful frescoes, carved stone windows, and a central, arch-framed courtyard filled with greenery. AniMare restaurant reimagines ancestral cooking techniques; the Ceviche Eljach is a must. Join a cooking class or rum tasting, soak in the rooftop Jacuzzi, and take a guided tour around the walled, UNESCO-designated Old Town.
