STAY: Looking Forward
Four Seasons Cartagena Opening April 2, 2026
The Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena will span a collection of restored colonial landmarks, including a 16th-century convent and a 1920s Beaux-Arts icon, blending historic architecture with contemporary design.
Rooftop pools overlook the Walled City, suites integrate colonial character with modern sophistication, and UMARI Spa draws on local botanical traditions.
The Four Seasons is the popular ask this Easter. For guests who prefer a more boutique stay, we recommend Anandá Hotel Boutique, a whitewashed colonial house inside the Walled City with a timber courtyard deck and high-ceilinged rooms.

Incredible journey in Peru with @BelmondAndeanExplorer! Now I totally understand why it was voted the best train experience in the world. The train, the scenery, the food, the staff, the amenities, and the excursions. Everything is top-notch!
