Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena
For the same reason—the relative calm—Cartagena is especially popular among Canadian and European visitors (Americans are rather more scarce, due to political concerns), and Santa Clara is the first choice for many tourists, who are drawn by its architectural charms as well as its top-notch service. Facilities are up to the standard of any of the world's best hotels, from the business center to the swimming pool and Turkish bath, and its more idiosyncratic charms include daily trips to its sister hotel's private island (some 45 minutes away) offering coral reef scuba courses and other seaside diversions.
Though on the Caribbean Sea, there is something decidedly European about this hotel. The cuisine is French and Italian, and the atmosphere is elegant, Continental (this being a Sofitel, after all). And though a resort town Cartagena remains unspoiled by the sort of gratuitous development that mars much of the Caribbean. This is the place to see a sort of time-machine Colombia, a Colombia that might have been, had history played out differently. Not your everyday hotel experience, by any means.
How to get there:
Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena is about a 20-minute drive from Cartagena’s Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG).

The location, away from the noise of the city, Wonderful garden, ancient architecture of a convent gives a unique cachet to the hotel. Very nice restaurant with a chef’s table. One of the most incredible breakfast I ever had

Although the Santa Clara is located in the heart/bustle of the walled city you are steps away from a relaxing atmosphere, great food, lovely pool and a really comfortable bed.

There is no reason to stay anywhere else. This has it all - and the intrigue of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Location, nicely appointed rooms and amenities, and great service.
