About Ananda Boutique Hotel

Down a central avenue in Cartagena's Old Town, Anandá's story began in the early 16th century. Now a beautifully-restored boutique bolthole, the hotel has retained a sense of heritage through its original architecture while welcoming modern additions like the atmospheric spa. And you may just need it to soothe tired feet after enjoying one of the hotel's tours around the city... Anandá may be larger than most boutique hotels, but you'd never know it with its personal feel and well-placed terraces.

What you'll love

Anandá has a whole host of terraces where you can take in the view across the rooftops from a cushy spot.

Insiders tip

The hotel can arrange all sorts of tours for you from wanders around the Walled City to walks along the Bay of Manga. Be sure to ask!

Something to think about

While most of the rooms have private balconies, the street view isn't particularly inspiring.

The property

The star of the show is Anandá's rooftop pool, a perfect spot to enjoy views over the city. There are also three patios, one with a hot tub and bounty of day beds. Ranked one of the best in the city, Vedana Restaurant serves a blend of Colombian, Spanish and African flavours, which you can enjoy in the intimate dining area or in the pretty courtyard. There is also a yoga area on the top floor and spa with its own sauna and Turkish bath.

The rooms

With exposed beam ceilings and gleaming wooden floors, Anandá has four room categories: luxury, deluxe, superior and the junior suites. All are furnished with cushioned chairs and large beds draped in white linens (the Junior Suite boasts a four-poster), as well as large wardrobes. Other amenities include a minibar, TV and vases of colourful flowers, while the bathrooms are neat and functional.

Activities

There's so much to do in the coastal city of Cartagena, from admiring the street art of Getsemani to learning all about Colombia's indigenous peoples at the Museo del Oro Zenu. The hotel will also happily arrange boat trips to the Rosario Islands, which are well-known for their stunning reefs, mangroves and watersports. Anandá is just a few blocks away from Santo Domingo Square, a vibrant spot with lovely alfresco cafes and the famous reclining sculpture by Fernando Botero.
