Founded in 1533, Cartagena de Indias, is today Colombia's main travel destination. Its walls that once served as the city's defense, now harmonize with colonial balconies and republican structures reminiscent of the splendors of its past. In recognition of its vast cultural wealth and architecture UNESCO declared Cartagena's walled city and fortresses World Heritage Site in 1984. Originally built as a convent in 1621, the Sofitel Legend Cartagena Santa Clara is a legendary landmark in the heart of Cartagena's walled city. Transformed into a luxury hotel in 1995, the Sofitel Santa Clara, unique in style, combines the allure of history with local hospitality and the art of French savoir-faire. Mixing Colonial and Republican-style architecture with modern comfort, the hotel features gourmet cuisine, exceptional service, a world-class spa, meeting facilities and state of the art technology for events, conventions and weddings.

This was a beautiful hotel. It was originally a convent, then a restaurant and now a hotel. The grounds are so beautiful with flowers and plants everywhere. The breakfast buffet was so beautifully presented and one could eat out on the veranda. Specials orders could be placed with the waiters, too. The only thing I was not happy about was the turndown service. The cleaning staff after came knocking on the door at 9:00 pm. We just declined their service. The hotel is within walking distance of town and the beach.

We ate in the resturant for lunch. The food was exceptional but the service with Alondra was amazing. She was very professional.

We ate at Jardín to celebrate our engagement and were served by Luis. He was attentive and so incredibly kind. The food was delicious and fairly priced. I highly recommend stopping here if you find yourself in Cartagena.
