Casa Pestagua

Casa Pestagua is an award-winning luxury boutique hotel situated in the heart of the ancient walled city of Cartagena in Colombia. It was built in the 18th century by the Count of Pestagua in the style of a Moorish palace featuring ochre walls, painted ceilings carved stone windows, and marble statues. Recently restored to its original splendor, it combines colonial style with Spanish influences and modern comforts.

Casa Pestagua provides just 11 expansive and elegant rooms and suites with palatial ceilings and period colonial-republican and Art Deco decor. Some rooms are more modern than others, but all exude romantic charm.

The hotel is ideally located for exploring the port city of Cartagena. Stroll through cobbled streets to Santo Domingo Square, visit the Museo del Oro, and the Palacio de la Inquisicion, or take a boat trip to the magical Islas del Rosario. Back at the hotel, sip a cocktail in the rooftop Jacuzzi as you admire the views.
