Sofitel Santa Clara

The Sofitel Santa Clara is an exquisite 17th century converted convent and grand luxury hotel with excellent facilities in Cartagena in Colombia, one of the most beautiful colonial cities in South America, set against the blue waters of the Caribbean.

Cartagena, Colombia
  • A landmark building in the heart of Cartagena that’s now home to a magnificent luxury hotel

  • Retains much of its colonial charm but with all the modern conveniences of a 5* hotel

  • Views over the Caribbean, the ancient city of Cartagena or the peaceful internal courtyard and lush gardens

  • Huge outdoor pool and excellent Spa offering a range of pampering treatments


The Sofitel Santa Clara is located in the historic heart of Cartagena, a city declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Located on the Caribbean Sea, its colonial balconies and walled city hark back to the era of pirates, corsairs and Spanish traditions. This beautifully converted hotel has significant architectural value and has been divided into Colonial and Republican styles. During the restoration process many valuable artefacts were recovered and have now been used in the interior decoration. Each corner of the hotel has an important story to tell.

All the guest rooms have a view over the cobbled old city, the Caribbean Sea or the beautiful interior tropical courtyards, and are excellently equipped to satisfy the most exquisite of tastes. Cooling sea breezes flow through the hotels graceful arches and provide a respite from the Caribbean’s warm tropical climate.

The Sofitel Santa Clara also boasts two restaurants, the Refectorio that serves delicious French cuisine and El Claustro with a more international menu. Why not relax and unwind in the El Coro bar over a Caribbean cocktail or indulge in a one of the many treatments offered in the hotel's spa.
