About the Hotel
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.

Sofitel Legend for the win!!
Not only is the Sofitel Legend in Cartagena a beautiful, ideally located hotel with such attentive staff all around but also the butler team is absolutely amazing. They worked with me in advance to finalize my itinerary and made my big birthday so special. Based on my experience, I now I’m looking for a Sofitel for my trips to Italy and France. I highly recommend taking a day trip to the Sofitel Baru, scheduling a trip to Palenque via the hotel with a guide who lives in Palenque, and eating at 1621. I wish I had time and room in my belly to check out the downstairs bar. The outdoor bar has a great view! The pool is so relaxing and has umbrellas for every two chairs!! So necessary.

Best hotel
Best hotel by far in Cartagena Colombia. 5th time here and after terrible experience in OSH we ended up here wishing we would have stayed here all nights. Super professional, luxury hotel from the start to the end . All staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. I would definitely go here again . Thank you

first time in Cartagena!!
From the beginning to the end, the butler service team was in constant communication with me, asking if there was anything I needed from my trip. They helped me set up activities for my wife and me, essentially planning out our entire vacation. They were absolutely amazing! Luis, Jeremy, Alejandro, and Rudy are the best.

Lovely, but Vastly overpriced
A truly beautiful place, with superb service. Lovely visually. Lovely pool. The HUGE problem is that it is vastly overpriced for what you get. We checked into a majordomo room with ocean view. Tiny, really small - tiny bathroom, no place to store suitcases. When we arrived, the room had broken furniture and was dirty, after not respecting checkin time. All for $600 US a night, plus a mandatory 10% service fee added to the bill. They boosted us to a junior suite, which was great. Food was delicious, but hugely overpriced. The value is not here. Felt gauged and ripped off.
