utterly charming hotel
South America’s most impressive fortifications. A history dating back to the 16th century. An Old Town that is an acclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site. And an utterly charming hotel.
Set out to walk along the top of Cartagena’s historic city walls and you will find yourself ambling past colonial-style buildings and soaring churches with ornate frontages or sparkling white domes. You’ll look down on a magnificently preserved Old Town and quaint balconied houses. It will be quite a walk – especially as the walls are 11 kilometres long; the most extensive in the whole of South America.
Stroll back to your hotel and you’ll be able to relax; you had the wisdom to specify the Casa San Agustin when you were planning your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Colombia. The San Agustin is itself a colonial era, with wooden beamed ceilings and original frescoes in the library – but it also features all the modern comforts you could wish for.
