“This adults-only boutique hotel channels the 1930s with artistic flair and a tranquil vibe, especially appealing given its location in a quieter corner of Cartagena's historic center. The building itself, a refurbished historical mansion, provides a glimpse into the city's artistic legacy. I found its blend of history, culture, and customized service to be a genuinely relaxing experience.”

The room was very quiet. I enjoyed the peacefulness despite being in the heart of the walled city.
