What it feels like

A few quiet notes on the stay.

GHL Arsenal Hotel is in Getsemaní, opposite Cartagena’s convention centre and close to the waterfront. With 71 rooms, an outdoor pool and views across the city and bay from selected categories, it offers a more full-service take on a Cartagena city stay than the small heritage houses inside the walls. Choose it for the energy of Getsemaní — music, food and the old city within easy reach — while keeping practical hotel comforts close at hand. It works well for couples, friends and travellers combining leisure with an event or a few business days in Cartagena.
