Four Seasons Hotel & Residences Cartagena: Heritage Luxury Meets Caribbean Charm
The forthcoming opening of the Four Seasons Hotel & Residences Cartagena marks a new landmark in luxury hospitality on Colombia’s northern coast. Nestled in the vibrant neighbourhood of Getsemaní and just steps from the UNESCO-listed walled city of Cartagena de Indias, this destination will blend historic architecture with modern design.
With around 131 rooms and residences, rooftop pools with sweeping Caribbean views, and multiple dining outlets, it’s poised to become the ultimate stay for discerning travellers. For those following The Wanderlust Edit’s curated travel pathways, this is one to bookmark.
With its location anchored between centuries-old colonial elegance and contemporary coastal vibrancy, Four Seasons Hotel & Residences Cartagena signals a compelling fusion of culture and comfort. The property occupies a collection of restored landmarks in the Getsemaní quarter, including historically significant buildings that reflect Cartagena’s layered past.
The hotel will offer approximately 131 accommodations—including residences—each thoughtfully designed to reflect Cartagena’s rich heritage while delivering the sleek sophistication expected of the Four Seasons brand. Interiors draw on Spanish-Colonial motifs, artful woodwork, warm textures and a softly modern palette that honours both place and provenance.
Dining and entertainment lie at the heart of this destination. Multiple restaurants and lounges are planned, taking guests on a global culinary journey grounded in local flavour. A highlight will be the rooftop bar and pool area commanding panoramic views over the Caribbean Sea and the old city’s clock tower. The wellness offering amplifies the experience too: the spa is envisioned as a destination in itself, with treatments rooted in local botanical rituals and contemporary wellness philosophies.
For the destination-curious, Cartagena remains one of South America’s most vibrant Caribbean cities. Colourful facades, cobbled streets, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and a reputation as a cultural hotspot all converge here. The arrival of Four Seasons in this setting further amplifies the city’s appeal for the experiential luxury traveller.
In terms of brand positioning, the introduction of Four Seasons into this city underscores the luxury hospitality market’s continuing pivot towards meaningful-stay experiences: heritage re-imagined, culture woven in, and design that doesn’t sacrifice place character. For your students or clients interested in travel & tourism, this property serves as a useful case-study in destination branding, heritage conversion and luxury segmentation.
