Conrad Cartagena
Cartagena's oceanfront oasis
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star
These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended
These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.
Soon To Be Rated

When you want an escape, the new Conrad Cartagena lets you
hide away. Far from the clamor of the tourist-heavy Old City, Conrad’s debut
Colombia hotel resides in the up-and-coming Serena del Mar area.
The new town’s name translates to “Serenity of the Ocean,”
and the Conrad fits that description — there aren’t any buildings near the
remote beachfront property. You’ll feel like you have the sliver of soft sand
and warm water to yourself.
Conrad Cartagena stands out with its white
geometric-cutout façade, a stark contrast to the surrounding green lush
landscape. Enter the oversized white doors with silver lion door knockers
(these used to indicate the social status of a Cartagena home and/or the profession of its inhabitants) and you’ll find a breezy indoor-outdoor
lobby with fresh, modern all-white décor; an O-shaped black marble bar with
mixologists donning loosened bowties; and local art, like Bogota artist Ana
Mercedes Hoyos’ gigantic bronze bow-wrapped heads Milagros and Felicia, two
palenqueras (the region’s first
settlers).
Elsewhere in the hotel, you’ll discover seven restaurants
and bars, a tranquil spa, four tennis courts, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed
golf course.
