Casa del Arzobispado

About Casa del Arzobispado

A handsome, historic casa with a prime address in central Cartagena de Indias.

Originally constructed in the 17th century by one of the heroes of Cartagena's independence, Casa del Arzobispado fits right into the city's historic centre. In fact, it's just a few cobblestones away from some of Cartagena de Indias' most prominent sights including the Palace of the Inquisition. However, once you enter the casa walls, you'll find yourself in an oasis of courtyards draped in greenery and a pretty swimming pool. It's the perfect antidote to a few hours of trawling Cartagena's architecture and streets and if you're ever at a loss for what to do next, the staff will happily share their wisdom.

Shuttered doors lead onto the wide patio and courtyard.

Activities

Located in the centre of Cartagena, there's plenty to discover right on your doorstep. Set out to explore the cobblestone streets, stopping to admire elegant cathedrals and bustling plazas. You can also pay a visit to one of the city's museums including the Museo de la Inquisicion. For fantastic views over the city and bay, head up the hill to the Convento de la Popa, or explore the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas – it's one of the most well-preserved forts in Latin America.

What more could you ask for than a central location and superb amenities?

Insiders Tip

Take a little time out from exploring to enjoy a massage in the privacy of your room or alfresco on your terrace.

Something to think about

Light-sleepers beware: the street-facing rooms can be a little noisy.
