"Find some relief in a room at the Casa San Agustín." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Casa San Augustin is a dreamy retreat, with its 17th century white-washed walls, original frescos, and a terracotta-tiled courtyard shaded by palms."
"Three whitewashed colonial buildings with 30 guest rooms and suites in Cartagena's historic center. Aurum Spa opened in April 2016." - Erin Florio
"Casa San Agustín in Cartagena, Colombia scored 95.79 in the survey. It is renowned for its luxurious accommodations and service." - Samantha Falewée
"Occupying three whitewashed colonial buildings sheltered from the bustling streets of Old Town Cartagena, Casa San Agustín sits on the site of a former aqueduct and channels its heritage with a swimming pool that tunnels through its stately remnants. Inside, common spaces feature a mix of Colombian art and artifacts with contemporary wicker furnishings and marble floors. The 20 rooms and 10 suites are cozy and a bit more polished than those found at other historic properties nearby: Units feature 200-year-old wood-beamed ceilings and iron canopy beds topped with Frette linens; some have patios with hot tubs or brick terraces with views of surrounding buildings. But there’s plenty of space to unwind throughout the property, namely a library with original frescoes and a lounge with a long wooden bar and ceiling-high wine cabinet. It’s a good idea to make reservations in advance for dinner at Alma, considered among the city’s best restaurants, where the upscale international cuisine includes fresh ceviche and dry-aged beef cured on-site."
