Movich Cartagena de Indias

Movich Cartagena de Indias is a boutique hotel in the historic centre run by Movich, a Colombian group with hotels in Medellín, Bogotá, Rionegro, Pereira, Barranquilla and Cali. The Cartagena property is part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and its main selling point is the rooftop.

Up on the roof, the pool looks out over the sea and the historic centre; the hotel describes a 180-degree pool and a 360-degree rooftop view. The Rooftop Guide notes that the pool and jacuzzi are reserved for hotel guests, while the terrace is open to visitors for sunset cocktails and dinner. The rooftop bar serves signature cocktails, and Alyzia Rooftop & Dining, open from 12:00 to 22:30, offers international cooking that blends local ingredients with Mediterranean, European and Colombian techniques. A main restaurant serves from 06:30 in the morning until 22:30 at night, and there is a spa and wellness area.

The hotel suits couples and travellers who want a well-located, mid-to-upper range base in the old town with a pool, without the price of the very top colonial mansions. The Rooftop Guide describes the dress code on the terrace as casual chic.

The rooftop is on the sixth floor, and The Rooftop Guide describes 360-degree views over the old city, the bay, the modern skyline of Bocagrande and the Caribbean, with a drinks list of wines, cocktails and national and imported beers. The location is very convenient. Calle Vélez Danies is in the historic centre near the Torre del Reloj, the walls and the colonial squares, and the dome of San Pedro Claver is a feature of the rooftop view. Getsemaní, with its restaurants and bars, is a few minutes' walk away through the clock gate, and the Plaza de Bolívar and its museums are close by. Rafael Núñez International Airport is around 15 minutes by car from the historic centre, according to the official tourism board.

Movich handles reservations centrally: the group publishes the phone number +57 601 482 4466, a WhatsApp line on +57 316 289 3777 and the email [email protected]. The hotel's tourism registration number is RNT 18274.
