01 · In a sentence

Hilton Cartagena Hotel in Bolívar, open JanuaryDecember.

Perched on the Caribbean coast in El Laguito, the Hilton Cartagena commands views of turquoise waters and the colonial cityscape beyond.

This waterfront property rises above Cartagena de Indias with direct beach access and contemporary architecture that frames the sea at every angle.

Guests arrive to a sophisticated urban resort where tropical light floods through floor-to-ceiling windows and the Atlantic becomes your ceremony backdrop.

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
