Four Seasons Cartagena Is Now Open — Here’s What Matters

Cartagena has always been two trips in one: the heat and color of the old walled city, plus the glossy Caribbean coast just outside it.

Now there’s finally a true, globally legible luxury address in the middle of the action — and it’s not tucked away on the beach.

Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena opened April 2, 2026, in Getsemaní, the neighborhood you stay in when you want galleries, plazas, and late-night bars within a five‑minute walk.

So what’s new — and why does this opening matter?

Cartagena has never lacked for atmosphere. What it’s been missing is a flagship luxury hotel that feels as comfortable hosting a long weekend as it does anchoring a real itinerary — without forcing you into the modern high-rise zone.

Four Seasons is betting on Getsemaní: the walkable, loud, stylish neighborhood where you can start with coffee, disappear into the Walled City, and end the night on a rooftop without planning a single car ride.

Where is Four Seasons Cartagena?

The hotel is in Getsemaní, just steps from Cartagena’s UNESCO World Heritage Site Walled City, with Parque Centenario across the street and the convention centre next door.

What’s the vibe: beach resort, city hotel, or something in between?

Think city hotel energy with Caribbean light. The best example: the rooftop setup. The hotel has two rooftop pools, and the whole point is the view — modern skyline, historic roofs, and that end-of-day humidity that makes sunset drinks feel non-negotiable.

What are the restaurants and bars you should care about?

According to Four Seasons, there are eight restaurant and bar venues on property. If you’re the kind of traveler who picks a hotel based on what you can eat without leaving it, this is the first new opening in Cartagena that’s playing at that level.

• The Grand Grill (steak and seafood)
• Bar Lelarge (cocktails + wine)
• El Palmar (rooftop sunsets)
• El Aljibe (a speakeasy-style bar)
• Pizzeria Della Chiesa (Neapolitan-style pizza)
• Café Rialto (Colombian coffee + pastries)

Translation: you can do a full weekend here without repeating yourself — and still have Getsemaní outside your door when you want to go rogue.

Do one big day inside the Walled City (morning architecture, afternoon museums/shops, late dinner), and keep your other day loose in Getsemaní: coffee, galleries, a long lunch, then commit to the rooftop before you go out.

If you’re choosing between Cartagena and other big 2026 openings, start with Saint‑Tropez 2026 — the vibe is different, but the decision logic is the same: are you chasing scene, serenity, or a mix?
