Hotel Capellan de Getsemani
Colonial heritage shell with French interior sensibility. Think Getsemaní street art outside, elegant chandeliers inside. Boutique luxury with a neighborhood feel rather than a resort bubble.

Why It Matters
Part of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts LVX Collection and the Hamak Hotels portfolio. Ranked #20 of 284 hotels in Cartagena on TripAdvisor. One of the few upscale boutique options actually situated inside Getsemaní rather than the old city walls — a deliberate choice that gives you an artist's-neighborhood address instead of a tourist-corridor one.
A 30-room boutique hotel set inside a Spanish colonial building in Getsemaní, the neighborhood just outside Cartagena's Walled City. The architecture is all heritage bones — high-beamed ceilings, wooden details, internal courtyard — but the interiors lean decidedly French: chandeliers, warm tones, designer furnishings, 400-thread-count cotton sheets. It sits 290 meters from the Convention Center and less than a kilometer from the Clock Tower. Beach is 3.5 km away, so this is not a resort stay — it's a base for being deep in the city's cultural core.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Family Suite
The largest room in the property at 66m2 — a duplex on the second floor with two full sleeping areas and two full bathrooms. King bed in one area, two twin beds in the other, plus a generous living room. Built for families or groups of friends who want proper separation without sacrificing the boutique atmosphere. Sleeps 2–4.
King + 2 Singles · 66 sqm
Junior Suite
A proper oasis at 45m2 with a lofted king bed, sitting area, and designer furnishings. Overlooks either the inner courtyard or Getsemaní's streets. Located on first and second floors. Sleeps 2–3. The loft configuration adds architectural interest and a sense of space beyond the square footage.
King · 45 sqm
Suite Capellán
The flagship suite at 50m2 with high ceilings, a separate living room, and designer furniture. Views of the courtyard or the Getsemaní streets. First and second floors. The extra ceiling height makes the room feel genuinely grand rather than just larger. Sleeps 2–3.
King · 50 sqm
Superior
The entry-level room at 25m2 — compact but done well. Located on the first and second floors with views of either the city street or the internal courtyard. Queen-size bed dressed in 400-thread-count cotton sheets. Warm colonial-meets-French décor throughout. Good for two guests who are mostly out exploring and need a comfortable, stylish base.
Queen · 25 sqm
Superior With Jacuzzi
The 33m2 room to book if you want a private soak at the end of a hot Cartagena day. Third-floor location is a genuine plus — direct access to the rooftop pool area and the hotel kiosk. Private jacuzzi, French-style furniture, queen bed with 400-thread-count sheets. Good pick for couples who want both privacy and pool proximity.
Queen · 33 sqm
Twin Superior
At 35m2, the Twin Superior is the room for friends or families who don't want to share a bed. Two queen beds with 400-thread-count cotton sheets, eclectic décor, and views of the city or courtyard. Sits on the first and second floors. Comfortable for up to four guests.
