Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Cartagena opened on April 2, 2026 in Getsemaní, just outside Cartagena's Walled City. This guide summarizes current information from Four Seasons for travelers considering the new property. It is not based on a personal stay or inspection.

A hotel shaped by several chapters of Cartagena

The property brings together a collection of restored buildings rather than presenting a single new build story. Four Seasons identifies the 16th century San Francisco Cloister and Temple and the 1920s Club Cartagena among the historically significant structures within the hotel.

That layered setting is central to the experience. Getsemaní is known for its active street life, galleries, shops, cafés, and proximity to the UNESCO listed Walled City. Guests can move between a resort style hotel environment and the neighborhood without treating the two as separate parts of the trip.

Rooftops, pools, and city views

Two rooftop pools give the hotel a leisure component that can matter in Cartagena's warm climate. Official descriptions frame the rooftops as places for daytime relaxation and sunset drinks, with views across the city. Travelers should still confirm pool access, hours, and any seasonal operating changes for their stay.

Dining across the restored buildings

The hotel's dining collection uses several distinct spaces. Current Four Seasons pages describe a steakhouse and bar in historic Club Cartagena, a pizzeria in a former theater setting, a speakeasy in a former water reservoir, a Colombian coffee café, a conservatory style lounge, and rooftop dining. The variety may be useful for a short stay because several moods can be found without leaving the property.

UMARI Spa and practical fit

UMARI Spa has six treatment rooms, including a couples suite, along with salon services and a 24 hour fitness center. Together with the rooftop pools, this gives the hotel a stronger resort rhythm than its urban location alone might suggest.

The hotel may fit travelers who want to spend time in Getsemaní and the Walled City while keeping full service dining, wellness, and pool time close at hand. It may also work well as the city chapter of a longer Colombia or Caribbean itinerary, provided transfer timing and onward connections are planned carefully.
