Cartagena de Indias is a wonderful alternative to the generic Caribbean holiday that has long become tiresome for many. This beautiful urban city, one of the largest cities in Colombia, is the perfect combination of old-world history and modern-day innovations, and the luxury Tcherassi Hotel + Spa is the ideal place to unwind while still taking in Cartagena’s rich culture.

Colombian fashion designer Silvia Tcherassi takes on a new challenge with her first hotel, Tcherassi Hotel + Spa. Located in the core of Cartagena’s Old City along the Caribbean coast, the hotel is luxuriously designed with seven exceptional rooms and suites, each named for the luscious fabrics used in Tcherassi’s fashion collections. Guests can unwind in his and hers bathrobes, they can drift off to sleep in custom Egyptian cotton sheets, and enjoy amenities with custom fragrance in gorgeous glass bottles, all from the Tcherassi private label. For the icing on the fashion cake, the indoor and outdoor furnishings (even the pool lounging furniture) were all designed with style by Tcherassi.

Rooms range from the beautiful Peau de Soie, a 375 sq ft escape with balconies giving magical views of two of the property’s pools and the hotel’s stunning vertical garden, to the Gazar, the most opulent suite in the mansion. This three level penthouse is the 1200 sq ft oasis you won’t want to leave. Featuring a unique 250 sq ft bathroom, lovely 2nd floor rooftop pool and sundeck, and a gorgeous 3rd floor mirador, where guests can bask in the 360 degree view of Cartagena and the sea, this suite was designed for relaxing, socializing, and indulging, just what every vacation needs!

Cartagena offers many dining options, but if you don’t want to venture far, Tcherassi Hotel + Spa has an in-house restaurant, VERA, serving authentic Italian cuisine. Chef Daniel Castaño, who was once the protégé of famed Chef Mario Batali, makes dishes like the Pollo al Peppe (black pepper-coated brined and seared chicken breast, served with confit thighs, and a salad made of dates, watercress, and macadamia nuts), which are so delectable that you’ll always clear your plate!

After two year restoration and renovation of a four storey, 250 year old colonial mansion, Silvia Tcherassi has taken a beautiful piece of history, and infused it with modern fashion and Colombian flair, transforming it into Tcherassi Hotel + Spa. For those seeking an urban escape, Pure Entertainment Group has put together a magnificent package for your Cartagena, Colombia holiday.
