CASA LOLA HOTEL GOURMET redefines the concept of a five-star hotel in Colombia by placing gastronomy, architecture, and culture at the heart of the hotel experience. We offer a sensory journey that invites guests to discover Cartagena from a privileged perspective, where every moment of the day honors the encounter between the Colombian Caribbean and the Spanish Mediterranean.
Located in Getsemaní, the most authentic and bohemian neighborhood of Cartagena de Indias, the hotel occupies an architectural gem made up of three houses that blend colonial elegance with republican refinement, incorporating contemporary elements of discreet luxury. The renowned Spanish architect Ignacio García de Vinuesa, based in the city, achieved a transformation that respects its historical essence: colonial courtyards with coral stone fountains converse with high republican ceilings and original lattice windows, alongside a curated collection of modern art, antiques, and craftsmanship, blending past and present without competing with one another.
Getsemaní, once home to fishermen and artisans, has become Cartagena’s most vibrant cultural hub, with cobblestone streets, Caribbean music, and urban art. The house stands as an oasis of tranquility amid this energy, without sacrificing luxury or comfort.
Our culinary offering also embraces this fusion. Breakfasts and brunch combine tropical fruits, artisanal jams, and traditional corn arepas with premium oils; lunches highlight the fresh catch of the day and local land and sea products; and dinners become gastronomic ceremonies with tasting menus that bring together traditional techniques and top-quality ingredients. Throughout the day, our mixologists craft signature gourmet cocktails: at Casa Lola, culinary excellence is present from the first morning coffee to the last evening drink.
The hotel features three pools, several gardens and lounges, a rooftop, and a spa area. Guests can choose among different settings depending on the time of day: the colonial garden for intimate moments, the republican lounges for elegant gatherings, the tropical courtyard for informal encounters, the panoramic terrace overlooking Getsemaní’s rooftops and churches, and the hall of mirrors for private events. All under the guidance of DOÑA LOLA COMIDA DEL CARIBE, our renowned restaurant.
Each room tells its own story, combining restored antiques, modern and ethnic art, and craftsmanship with the finest amenities: panoramic TV, deluxe minibar, 500-thread-count linens, extra-luxe mattress with memory foam topper, air conditioning, eco-friendly amenities, telephone, safety deposit box, and free high-speed wifi.
A complete experience
Every detail is designed to create lasting memories, in a space where Caribbean hospitality meets Mediterranean elegance. The day unfolds amid street music, the scent of the nearby sea, and the calm of the interior courtyards — a contrast the hotel translates into a coherent experience from beginning to end.
Thus, CASA LOLA HOTEL GOURMET stands as a landmark destination in Cartagena: a place where architecture, gastronomy, and comfort combine for a memorable stay in this World Heritage City.
