Four Seasons is expanding its presence in Colombia with the opening of Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena, now accepting reservations for stays beginning May 15, 2026.
The new property marks the luxury brand’s third location in the country, joining its two existing hotels in Bogotá, and signals a continued focus on culturally rich, historic destinations.
Set in Cartagena’s vibrant Getsemaní neighborhood, the hotel sits just outside the city’s iconic walled center and directly across from the convention center, placing guests at the crossroads of history, art, and contemporary urban life.
The 131-room hotel occupies a remarkable collection of restored historic structures spanning several centuries. These include a 16th-century cloister and temple, former theaters, and the early 20th-century Club Cartagena, a beaux-arts landmark dating to the 1920s. The project blends preservation with modern luxury, offering 27 Spanish colonial-style accommodations alongside 104 contemporary rooms and suites.
Among the standout offerings are the three-bedroom Casa Ambrad suite, complete with a private rooftop plunge pool, and the Catroux Suite, a two-bedroom Presidential Suite named after French designer François Catroux, who played a key role in shaping the property’s interiors.
Design and restoration were led by a wide team of international and local specialists, reflecting Four Seasons’ commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship. Architecture and interiors were handled by firms including WATG, Wimberly Interiors, AvroKO, and SBM, with restoration overseen by Colombian experts.
Local artisans contributed custom furniture, textiles, and garden elements, ensuring the property reflects Cartagena’s layered cultural heritage while delivering the polished aesthetic expected of the brand.
Dining is positioned as a major pillar of the Cartagena opening. The hotel will feature eight restaurant and bar concepts, including Four Seasons’ first collaboration with Major Food Group, the hospitality company behind globally recognized dining brands. Guests can expect a diverse lineup ranging from a steakhouse and speakeasy to a pizzeria, café, and rooftop bar, designed to appeal both to hotel guests and the local dining scene.
Wellness and leisure amenities include two rooftop pool decks overlooking the city, an Umari Spa with six treatment rooms, salon services, and a 24-hour fitness center. The hotel also places strong emphasis on events and celebrations, offering two grand ballrooms and additional meeting spaces housed within restored historic venues. Full-property buyouts are available, positioning the hotel as a premium choice for destination weddings and large-scale cultural events.
With its blend of historic architecture, high-end design, and culinary ambition, Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena underscores the brand’s strategy of anchoring luxury hospitality in destinations with strong identity and global appeal.
