Casona Del Colegio is one of Cartagena’s newest luxury boutique hotels. The hotel is perfectly situated within the heart of the walled city, and within steps of many popular restaurants and landmarks like Alma or the clock tower. You will even find the iconic Colombia Palenqueras sitting right outside of the hotel daily ready for a photo opp!
Upon entering Casona Del Colegio you will immediately notice the decor is both calming like a spa with the sea-foam green interiors and greenery, yet modern at the same time with a mix of copper and black marble to enhance the space. The hotel brings together a mix of sustainable materials and artwork from Colombian artisans to reflect a true Colombian cultural experience.
Welcoming and playful touches such as chess and janga can be found in all of the common areas of the hotel for guest to enjoy.
Carved out in the center of Casona Del Colegio you will find the most beautiful interior courtyard with native Colombian trees and plants. Something visitors can appreciate from every floor of the hotel.
The Rooms At Casona Del Colegio
Casona Del Colegio offers thirteen unique rooms. All of the options are thoughtfully designed and equipped with the latest in technology such as remote powered blackout curtains, in-wall Bose surround sound, and I even noticed an aromatherapy diffuser begging to be used. My personal favorite feature of the room was the beautiful marble shower which is available to be enjoyed and admired in each suite. The exterior rooms offer gorgeous colonial style balconies overlooking the bustling streets of Cartagena, perfect for people watching while taking a break from the heat!
Casona Del Colegio Rooftop Pool
The rooftop pool at Casona Del Colegio is undeniably the most stunning feature of this boutique hotel. With views of the Cartagena Cathedral Dome it’s hard to not want to spend your day here relaxing and taking in the iconic landmark. This rooftop oasis offers many spots for all of the guest to relax both in the sun and in the shade, including a full service bar. You will also find Casona Del Colegio’s spa here.
Dining At Costa Restaurant in Casona Del Colegio
I truly looked forward to waking up every morning and going down to enjoy Costa Restaurant located on the first floor of Casa Del Colegio. The highlight for me was the amazing Colombian coffee served, and the delicious breakfast smoothies made with native fruits that I indulged in daily.
Although I only had the pleasure of enjoying Costa for breakfast, they are open for lunch and dinner as well. Costa serves Caribbean inspired menu options and crafty cocktails that looked very delicious!
My Experience at Casona Del Colegio
With so many boutique hotel options available in Cartagena it can be very difficult to make a decision on where to stay but Casona Del Colegio checks all the boxes. The focus on top notch hospitality was amazing as each staff member was so kind and attentive. A very important note to add – I felt very safe staying here since there was a security guard at the door every night checking in all guests. I would truly recommend this hotel to anyone!
