Four Seasons has just started accepting reservations for its newest property in South America, and I know it’s one that many people have been looking forward to.
In this post:
Basics of the new Four Seasons Cartagena, Colombia
The Four Seasons Hotel Cartagena is now accepting reservations for stays as of May 15, 2026. The 131-key hotel is located in Cartagena’s Getsemani neighborhood, near the city’s UNESCO-listed Walled City. Cartagena is a super charming city, for those who haven’t been.
This property is made possible through the transformation of a collection of landmark buildings, including the 16th century San Francisco Temple and 1920s Beaux-Arts Club Cartagena. 
Accommodations start with entry level Colonial Rooms, which are 388-560 square feet (36-52 square meters). Meanwhile the biggest accommodation is the Catroux Suite, which measures 3,175 square feet (295 square meters).
The hotel will feature four restaurants and bars, a spa and wellness area, and a rooftop pool. The rooftop will feature panoramic views over Cartagena’s Old Town and the Caribbean Sea.
Four Seasons Cartagena rates & how to book
With the Four Seasons Cartagena now bookable, what are rates like? While this hotel is of course expensive by Cartagena standards, it’s one of the more reasonably priced Four Seasons properties worldwide.
First, it’s worth mentioning that it always makes sense to keep an eye on the hotel’s offers page, as there are some promotions, like an extra property credit on stays of up to three nights, a fourth night free on stays of four nights, etc.
Currently, I see entry level rates starting at $525 per night, factoring in a fourth night free. There’s not that much seasonal variation with rates as of now, though admittedly bookings aren’t yet open for much of winter and spring, which will presumably be peak season.
If you’re going to book this hotel (or any Four Seasons), you should generally book through a travel advisor who is affiliated with the Four Seasons Preferred Partner program. With this program, eligible travel advisors can add value to your stay without it costing you extra. They can add perks like complimentary breakfast (including via in-room dining), a hotel credit, an upgrade subject to availability, and more.
Best of all, Four Seasons Preferred Partner can generally be combined with any rates or promotions you’ll find directly with Four Seasons.
For what it’s worth, the upgrades through this program are also prioritized over upgrades through other programs, so you’ll want to use Preferred Partner over a program like Virtuoso or Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®. However, if you have a credit or some other benefit with a different program, that could be worth using as well.
Bottom line
The Four Seasons Cartagena is now accepting reservations for stays as of May 2026. This property was announced all the way back in 2019, so it’s nice to finally see an opening date. This looks like a great new luxury hotel in a city that otherwise has relatively few good luxury options. It’s also one of the more reasonably priced Four Seasons properties.
So whether you’re a Four Seasons fan or just interested in visiting Cartagena (I’ve been wanting to return), I’m happy to finally see this hotel bookable.
What do you make of the Four Seasons Cartagena?
Excellent update, Ben! Colombia is a beautiful country, incredible coffee, and wonderful people. It’s come a long way from the 1980s. Have enjoyed visits to Bogota and Medellin. Am waiting for this FS to open and look forward to exploring Cartagena.
I’ll add, because it is relevant: I wish we’d (the US) not meddle in the region so much, though; the idea that nearby we’re murdering fishermen and basically amping up for a wag-the-dog or Iraq 2.0 ain’t ‘great.’ Ugh.
