01 · In a sentence

Hyatt Regency Cartagena in Bolívar, open JanuaryDecember.

Built in 1991, the Hyatt Regency Cartagena occupies a prime beachfront location in Colombia's most romantic colonial city.

This 4.7-star rated hotel has been meticulously maintained and updated to meet modern luxury standards while preserving views of the Caribbean Sea and the historic walled city.

The property offers dedicated wedding facilities with direct beach access and indoor event spaces suitable for ceremonies and receptions of varying scales.

The Hyatt Regency Cartagena is an excellent hotel that truly offers the best of both worlds—where the charm of the "Old City" meets the modern luxury of the new. I loved every minute of my stay and would definitely come back. As a Globalist, I was upgraded to a suite. It was incredibly spacious and the views were fantastic—watching the sunset from the room was a highlight of the trip. Breakfast is fresh, delicious, and offers a huge variety. The Executive Lounge is also a must-visit; they serve great local beer, wine, and authentic Colombian cuisine. The staff was always attentive, welcoming, and on point. They continue to exceed my expectations. The location is perfect. It’s within walking distance to many great restaurants and local attractions. I loved it! 5+ stars all the way!
