Dining
On-site restaurants
Harry's Restaurant
Set within the grand central atrium of the Republican wing, Harry's is a signature dining venue led by Colombian celebrity chef Harry Sasson. The menu focuses on big, bold flavors that combine traditional local ingredients—such as 'Harry's Crab Meloso' and tiger's milk ceviche—with global favorites like delicate ravioli and Angus steak. The restaurant provides an atmospheric fine-dining experience in the heart of the hotel's storied architecture.
Plaza Santa Teresa
This outdoor restaurant extends directly into the historic square fronting the hotel, creating a bustling hub for cocktail hour and night-time dining. As evening falls, the space becomes highly atmospheric with live Latin music and a menu centered around fresh local seafood, including orange and chili langoustines and crispy octopus. It is recognized as the city's only private plaza for dining.
La Terraza
Perched on the 6th-floor rooftop beside the panoramic pool, La Terraza offers guests uninterrupted views of Cartagena’s historic domes, city walls, and the Caribbean Sea. The menu provides a relaxed resort-like dining experience featuring global dishes such as ceviche, fresh salads, wood-fired pizza, and gourmet pasta. It is a premier spot for enjoying fresh juices or a sunset drink while taking in the city’s skyline.
Honest review
What could be better

- —Management needs to ensure consistent food quality in the restaurants and empower staff to offer bill adjustments or replacements when a guest reports a sub-par meal.
- —The property would benefit from modernizing gym equipment, addressing air conditioning issues, and improving accessibility for guests with strollers or limited mobility.
