The Top 13 Hotels Near Hotel Casa San Agustin

  1. Brick arches and timbered ceilings anchor the suites of this colonial boutique hotel in Cartagena's historic center, and then you turn a corner and find yourself in a room furnished like it's fully aware what century it is. Thirteen rooms and suites thread old Colombian texture through very present-day comfort. A spa, a pool with a poolside bar, and a seafood restaurant round things out. It holds a Michelin Key.


  2. Eight suites in a restored colonial manor house on Calle del Cuartel, tucked inside Cartagena's walled old town. The name comes from the four-leaf-clover motif carved into Spanish Colonial facades all over the neighborhood, and the building fits right in. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key. A pool and hot tub feel almost improbable at this scale, and the intimate size does the work that no amenity list quite can.


  3. Eight palm trees grow in the central courtyard, tall enough to sway over the old arches and tropical enough to make you feel the building is one slow season from being reclaimed by the jungle. This eleven-room colonial hotel in Cartagena's walled city holds a Michelin Guide 2 Keys distinction and leans into antique furnishings and palatially high ceilings rather than smart-home gadgets. Santo Domingo Square is a short walk out the door.


  4. The Master Suite has its own private pool, which tells you something about how Cinco Quintas calibrates ambition. This boutique hotel inside Cartagena's walled city is organized around a quiet central courtyard, the classic compound layout of the old neighborhood, with colonial architecture dressed up in clean modern interiors. Even the smallest rooms run nearly 300 square feet with king beds and high ceilings. The rooftop bar has sweeping views of the historic center.


  5. A colonial residence from the 1600s with timbered ceilings and a rooftop pool that feels quietly out of place in the best way. This 12-room boutique hotel in Cartagena's historic center was designed by its owner, so the blend of contemporary and colonial never looks accidental. Staff will point you toward the city's restaurants, but book the whole house and a private chef appears. The Michelin Guide has selected it among its hotels.


  6. An eight-room adults-only boutique hotel in a Spanish Colonial manor house in Cartagena's historic center, where the rooftop pool and terrace cocktail bar stay mercifully quiet because sixteen guests can only spread so thin. Original flooring and antique furnishings mix with the occasional bright wallpaper, and balconies face the old city. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels. No restaurant, which keeps the mood intact and sends you into one of Colombia's great dining neighborhoods.


  7. A former Carthusian monastery inside the old walled city, Casa La Cartujita is a seven-room boutique hotel where heavy wooden doors and whitewashed walls share space with mid-century modern pieces and L'Occitane in the bathrooms. The rooftop terrace with its plunge pool is the obvious place to land after a day out in Cartagena, particularly if someone is handing you a Coco Loco. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.


  8. The plunge pool in the central courtyard has been cooling people down since the 1500s, which puts the renovation in perspective. This seven-room boutique hotel occupies one of Cartagena's oldest stone houses, right inside the historic walled city, and the restoration kept the colonial bones while adding the kind of furniture and amenities that make a long stay comfortable. Small, calm, and selected by the Michelin Guide.


  9. A 28-room boutique hotel a short walk from the Plaza de Santo Domingo, where colonial stone archways and a quiet inner courtyard do most of the heavy lifting before you've even checked in. The indoor pool and rooftop terrace stay genuinely calm at this scale. There's an on-site restaurant serving Japanese-Peruvian cuisine, which is either a welcome curveball or a reason to wander the old town for sancocho.


  10. Behind a whitewashed Colonial façade in Cartagena's old walled city, the Movich runs thoroughly contemporary inside, with clean modern lines, bright bathrooms, and the occasional exposed stone wall reminding you that the bones predate the flat screens. The rooftop pool and bar, with the old city's rooftops spread below, is where guests tend to lose track of the afternoon. A seafood restaurant and 24-hour room service mean you have no excuse not to explore.


  11. A boutique hotel in Getsemaní, the Cartagena neighborhood where the street art outpaces the tourist maps, OSH keeps its cool with a pool courtyard made for lingering and a rooftop bar that scans the whole city. The restaurant turns Colombian classics through Italian and Asian lenses, though the neighborhood outside offers its own spirited argument for dinner elsewhere. Selected by the Michelin Guide.


  12. A former convent turned luxury hotel in Cartagena's old town, where the colonial bones have been kept and the thread count raised to 600. Rooms split between the historic and 20th-century wings are quietly plush, with marble baths and views that go either to sea or back over the rooftops. Neither direction disappoints, though the rooftop pool, with its full 360-degree panorama of the city, makes a strong argument for skipping the room entirely.


  13. A Spanish Colonial building in Getsemaní, the neighborhood just outside Cartagena's walled city that everyone keeps saying is having a moment, houses this boutique hotel where the bones are centuries old and the furniture can't decide which era it belongs to. Rooms face either an interior courtyard or the street, and the restaurant, Clero, mixes Colombian, Caribbean, and Japanese influences on the same menu without apology.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
