Hotel El Marqués by Faranda Boutique

This is a beautiful boutique hotel. Located in old town and on a nice quiet street but within 3 minute walking to all the main attractions. Also within a5 minute area are some amazing restaurants. The most amazing part of this hotel is their staff. Right from arriving Ricardo at the reception, Isabella at the restaurant serving us breakfast, the lady (Eileen) at the bar and the lady who cleaned the room. We loved the warmth showed by the team. Everything was spot on including the 4 AM taxi to the airport. This is a great hotel and has lots of history and character. The hotel also has a boutique wine store that does amazing tapas and wine. We did a lunch at the Happy Wine store and it was totally worth it. We look forward to staying here the next time in Cartagena.

There was a lot to like! The historic building that houses the hotel is interesting and charming, the staff was extraordinary and very attentive, the restaurant and bar were both excellent, the hotel's location is perfect, and it was a surprisingly good value too

Beautifully restored colonial building with all the comforts of a first class hotel. This boutique hotel is outstanding in terms of service, location, and amenities. The staff is wonderful. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

Friendly, attentive and helpful. Especially the woman assisting us with check in /out. Played the role of tour guide and local expert. Great experience!
