यह संपत्ति

The Hilton Cartagena Hotel hums with a polished Caribbean calm, its open-air lobby catching the salt breeze from the bay. With sun-bleached terracotta and cool marble underfoot, it feels like a quiet retreat for business travellers and couples seeking dependable comfort. The USP is its waterfront perch: a 3-star property offering genuine sea views and a lagoon-style pool, steps from the historic Old Town's energy.

💬 What guests say

⭐ 4.6 / 5 · 7,916 reviews

Guests consistently praise the exceptionally helpful, warm, and attentive staff who go out of their way to provide personalized service, with particular commendation for individuals like Yertiza and Carlos. However, a recurring complaint notes that the hotel seems to be a former Hilton property that only retains the name, leading to disappointment and a feeling that the quality no longer matches the brand's standards.

★★★★★

“Wonderful experience! Yertiza from laundry services was extremely helpful. She took my dress in the morning and brought it shortly after looking perfect. She was lovely too. Thank you for making my day special with no stress”

“We had a great experience here. Carlos did a great job assisting us with check-in, we had a beautiful view of the beach from our room. Very attentive staff. I had leftovers in a cardboard to-go container, I asked if I could heat it up in the kitchen area, and they sent a kitchen worker to collect the food and serve it ”

— Andy Montgomery, 4 months ago

“Its just a No. I dont really know what else to say. Its the Hilton you might think, it should be at least decent. But there is nothing left of the Hilton here besides the name. Dont be fooled, this Hotel got sold a few years back and only kept the name, it is not Hilton anymore. If you dont see it when here, you will ”

️Cronicles of Cartagena

Founded in 1533 by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Heredia, Cartagena de Indias was the crown's treasure port for gold and slaves. Its towering colonial walls and cobbled streets still bear the imprint of Inquisition-era plazas and vibrant Caribbean rebellions. After independence, the city languished until tourism revived its painted balconies and bougainvillea-draped corners. Today, it's a Unesco World Heritage site where salsa beats mix with Caribbean cuisine, proudly Afro-Colombian and cosmopolitan.

️ यात्रा करने के लिए सबसे अच्छा समय

पूरा गाइड

सर्वश्रेष्ठ महीनों

December to March — the dry season offers sunny skies and manageable crowds, perfect for exploring the walled city. January's breeze keeps the heat pleasant.

🔥 पेक / फेस्टिवल Surge

Semana Santa (March/April) and December's Fiesta de la Candelaria flood the city. Hotel rates double, and the streets buzz with processions and reggaeton. Cartagena's biggest event, the Hay Festival (January), draws literati.

बजट कंधे के मौसम

May, June and November are sweet spots: fewer tourists, lower prices, and still-warm afternoons with short tropical showers that freshen the air. Expect 20–30% discounts on rooms.

मौसम और पैकेजिंग

Cartagena's humidity is relentless year-round, but June brings a 'veranillo' — a brief 'little summer' with intense midday sun and sudden evening downpours. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and breathable linen; flip-flops are essential for puddled streets.

Live City Briefing के बारे में राय

  • Cartagena's Transcaribe bus rapid transit has extended to the airport, cutting taxi fares by 30% — look for the new 'Aeropuerto' line for a cheap transfer.
  • The walled city's Getsemaní neighbourhood just opened 'Museo de la Memoria', a free exhibition on the city's African heritage and colonial resistance.
  • June's rainy season means some Old Town streets flood after heavy downpours; check local forecast and avoid driving near the Clock Tower at peak tide.
