About Amarla Boutique Hotel

Surrounded by turmeric-yellow mansions and balconies overflowing with flowers, Amarla sits pretty in the heart of Cartagena's walled city. Inspired by its enchanting Spanish-Caribbean history, Amarla was built as a home for travellers from around the world. Authentic craftsmanship is evident throughout the original architecture and decor, while Colombian culture is celebrated with activities like cigar rolling and coffee tasting. There's plenty to do nearby including visiting the city's aged churches, perusing stalls of tropical fruit and handmade crafts, and strolling through the well-known Bolivar Park.
