Expert reviews:

Fodor's

"Beautiful arched walkways, flower-filled courtyards, flickering candles, and original details from confessionals to water wells abound." Full review

Jetsetter

"Cartagena’s rising stock as a Caribbean playground for the millionaire set is supported by the colonial charms of this luxurious former convent." Full review

Travel + Leisure

"This 121-room luxury hotel, the Old City's first, is carved from the shell of a 17th-century convent in the quiet San Diego neighborhood." Full review

Star Service

"This historic hotel epitomizes the Legend moniker that Sofitel is applying to some of its architecturally impressive hotels." Full review

Avoid the standard rooms that have no view, and while Classic rooms peek out at the gardens from the lower levels of the hotel, they do not have the terraces of Superiors.

Lonely Planet

"The entire hotel was built within the walls of a convent and the former cloister now forms massive hallways that surround the gorgeous interior walls and open-air courtyard." Full review
