Hotel Boutique Casona del Colegio

A Colombian celebration in the heart of Cartagena

A gem merging sustainability and design, this luxury hotel is a tribute to Colombia. Inspired by the culture and land, assembled by local hands and adorned with Colombian art. Casona del Colegio is located in Cartagena’s historic center, near trendy restaurants, cafés, and bars.

From its private rooms to its various common areas, Casona expresses Colombia’s immense cultural, biological, and ecological diversity. Proudly displaying materials, shapes, colors, smells, and textures from around the country. It is an experience curated by Colombia’s best craftsmen.

Unique and independent, each of Casona del Colegio’s 13 rooms are comfortable spaces complete with local designs, created to stimulate the 5 senses. There are 7 different bedroom styles, in order to offer a bespoke experience for each guest. The hotel, boasting a quiet and intimate atmosphere, is ideal for business trips and holidays as a couple.

Colombia’s biodiversity and natural fabrics served as inspiration for the architects behind the project. Open, light-filled spaces are important architectural elements. The style also highlights geometric shapes and a palette of warm tones that represent Colombia’s tropical beauty. Artisans, members of indigenous and rural communities, woodworkers, artists, and designers all contributed to the project.

The concept of biodiversity extends to the open spaces as well, through the shapes, colors, and textures chosen for the hotel’s design that reflect the abundance of natural resources. The patios and common areas are filled with diverse vegetation found along the Colombian coast, from La Guajira to Córdoba. Geography is reflected in every detail; the hotel décor evokes Colombian landscapes and includes artisanal objects. Mangroves climb up to the terrace, transforming the hotel’s interior and exterior look and feel.

Casona del Colegio offers a personalized service, in line with the highest hotel standards.
