There’s something magnetic about Hotel Kartaxa. Maybe it’s the 1930s-inspired bohemian vibe. Or the leafy courtyard that feels like a secret garden. Either way, this boutique stay doesn’t try too hard, it simply is cool.

Set just outside the walls of Cartagena’s Old Town, Hotel Kartaxa blends history, art, and comfort with effortless style. Think vintage photos, and local touches everywhere you look. The building itself is a restored colonial house. Rooms are simple but artful, with air conditioning, good beds, and a splash of character in every corner. The hotel also offers free WiFi, a restaurant with Caribbean flavors, and a bar that’s perfect for a low-key evening.

What makes Kartaxa stand out? The atmosphere. It’s casual, creative, and unpretentious. Staff are friendly, happy to offer recommendations, and full of that Cartagena charm people always talk about.
