Casa San Agustín

Comprised of three white-washed buildings, the picture windows and breezy balconies make every space light-filled and welcoming. Surrounded by arches and plenty of potted greenery, the Alma Restaurant serves an array of Colombian-Caribbean favourites (be sure to try the chef's signature ceviche) in the main dining area or the courtyard. Subdued lighting and live salsa make the bar a superb place to enjoy a nightcap, whilst tea and coffee are served all day in the magnificent library. If you're in need of a pamper, head to the Aurum Spa for a massage or steam in the hammam.

Decorated in neutral tones and clean lines, every room features centuries-old beamed ceilings, heritage furnishings and four-poster iron beds draped in Frette linens. Works by celebrated Colombian artists add character to the bedrooms. A select number of rooms enjoy a private patio and hot tub in a walled garden, while the Suite Prestige is a duplex with two rooms and a living/dining area. The Suite del Virrey is the largest and has two terraces with sun loungers to make the most of your down time.
