A 16th-century convent in Centro with a celebrated rooftop pool offering the best hotel view in the city — the city walls and Caribbean Sea spread out below — plus three restaurants and a central courtyard bar.
Why We Chose It
Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa occupies a 16th-century colonial building in the heart of Centro — the rooftop pool terrace with its unobstructed panorama over the city walls and the Caribbean Sea is the finest hotel view in Cartagena. Three restaurants including the courtyard restaurant where the crab nachos are a local institution; a central courtyard bar; and a full spa. The building blends original colonial architecture with sensitively added contemporary rooms. Slightly larger and more full-service than Casa San Agustín but with comparable quality.
