Rarely is the Colombian city of Cartagena mentioned without reference to its rich Spanish colonial history. Most of the hotels in town make as much as they can of this heritage, and the architecture it left behind. And so, in its way, does the Tcherassi Hotel + Spa — but anyone expecting a pure nostalgia trip is likely to be surprised by what they find. Not disappointed, mind — the house’s old colonial bones are still very much in place, but the owner, fashion designer Silvia Tcherassi, has made some pretty unmissable additions.
It’s rare to find a hotel whose period detailing and contemporary finishes manage to coexist in such harmony. Perhaps the key is that it’s not exactly subtle — the unfinished brick and stone walls are unapologetically rough, while the fabrics and finishes are flamboyantly luxe. And it probably helps to work with such a small canvas; with just seven rooms and suites there’s no space for Ms. Tcherassi to repeat herself.
The fact that the restaurant seats more guests than the hotel sleeps ought to give you an idea of what sort of place this is — the upper floor, where the guest rooms are, may be quiet and intimate, but the Tcherassi isn’t shy of a bit of attention. And it’ll get plenty of it — there’s nothing like it anywhere else in Cartagena, that’s for sure.

What I liked:
The service was incredibly attentive. There was no attitude or indifference that I've come to expect at highly stylish and posh hotels. The rooms were huge and rivaled some New York apartments! I felt like I was in my own private villa and almost didn't want to leave my little sanctuary. For food, the breakfast was incredible and I highly recommend dinner at Vera.
What the hotel could do better:
The WiFi wasn't working very well during my stay. I wish that could have been remedied but otherwise my stay was perfect.

Loved our experience here. We are a well traveled couple, and stay in nice hotels all over the world, but the room at Tcherassi was one of the most beautiful rooms we have stayed in. Absolutely stunning experience.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
Stunning vibe. Unbelievable rooms. Was so relaxing and a great location.
What the hotel could do better:
Everything was great. Amazing. Only piece of constructive criticism would be to have slightly more comfortable deck chairs for the upstairs pools.
