Casa San Agustin

General
The town of Cartagena on the northern coast of Colombia was one of the most important ports of the West Indies, and remains an integral part of Cartagena’s economy and culture. Cartagena is divided into three districts – San Pedro, with the charming cathedral and many Andalusian-style palaces, Getsemani, with its art galleries, cafes and restaurants, and San Diego, where you will find the stunning Old Town, which is a designated World Heritage Site, as well as the university, and the luxurious small hotel of Casa San Agustin.
Room Description
Casa San Agustin has been lovingly restored in Cartagena’s fresh contemporary style with colourful Caribbean character, with original frescoes in the library to centuries-old beamed ceilings in the guest rooms, it is a stunning evocation of the city’s rich history as a 17th-century Spanish stronghold. The 24 guestrooms and six suites are decorated in shades of soft blue, echoing the Caribbean sea, mixed with specially commissioned furnishings and fixtures, rich dark woods and ironwork besteads, chandeliers and work by local artists, as well as all the mod cons you could wish for. Some of the rooms have their own private terrace with a plunge pool or Jacuzzi, and all feature Frette bed linens. There are HDTVs with surround sound, Bose CD players, and iPod docking stations, complimentary Wi-Fi, and personal safes. Sumptuous, spa-like, stone, wood and marble bathrooms have slippers and robes, and delicious citrus-scented Ortigia bath and body products. Junior Suites have comfortable sofas
Activities
You can relax on the sun deck on a crisp white lounger under a shady umbrella, in the stunning outdoor pool, in the games room, or retreat to the library. And if you can bear to drag yourself away from the hotel, Santo Domingo and San Diego parks are only a few yards away, the Bocagrande and Castillo Grande beaches are about 15 minutes’ drive away, or you can take a private boat excursion to the Rosario Islands. And then, right outside your door there’s all the sights and sounds of Cartagena to explore – wander round the Old Town, treat yourself to a bit of retail therapy in the exclusive boutiques, or bone up on your history and culture in the churches and cathedrals and soak up the atmosphere. This is a magical place, and if you wanted somewhere ridiculously romantic to get married, this is surely it – and Casa San Agusin has a team of expert planners to make sure your wedding is the best day of your life.
Dining
The Alma Restaurant offers delicious Continental breakfast, and a fusion of Australian, Cambodian, Thai and Indonesia-influenced cuisine created by the executive chef Herberto Eljach – expect deliciously prepared freshly caught seafood, Colombian-style bouillabaisse, marinated roasted sea bass, dry aged beef, slow-cooked lamb with Latin flavours, all served by candlelight either outdoors in the delightful courtyard or indoors in a Colombian-style setting surrounded by hand-crafted artworks and furnishings. Oh and don't forget to try the signature grape caipiroska, just the one though…
