The most architecturally grand hotel in Cartagena — a former 17th-century Franciscan convent with high arched ceilings, a magnificent courtyard pool (the largest in the city), full spa, and San Diego location.
Why We Chose It
Sofitel Legend Santa Clara is the most recognizable luxury hotel in Cartagena — a 17th-century convent in San Diego converted to a full-service Sofitel "Legend" property (the highest tier in the Accor portfolio). The original convent walls and arched colonnades define the architecture; the courtyard pool beneath the palms is the most beautiful hotel pool in the city; the Santa Clara spa is the finest in Cartagena; and the Jardín restaurant is lovely for a candlelit dinner. More facilities and scale than the intimate boutiques but with genuine historic character.
