Cartagena, A Place Where Stories Are Painted on Walls and Nights Never End
Socialtel Cartagena is located in the heart of the Getsemaní neighborhood, considered one of the most colorful neighborhoods in the world for its balconies, colonial houses, street art, churches and the lively culture of the locals.
We are located 5 minutes from the historic center of the city, considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, 10 minutes from the Castillo de San Felipe and the shopping center La Serrezuela (former bullring). If you are a sun and beach lover, Socialtel Cartagena offers a wide range of tours to different beach clubs on islands such as Tierra Bomba or the famous Rosario Islands.
Be sure to visit and enjoy our two rooftops with Latin American food and our swimming pools, accompanied by a refreshing cocktail while watching the sunset over our terrace and the bay of Cartagena.
Let yourself be surprised by our free wellness activities such as free walking tours, fruit tasting, salsa and champeta classes, among many others.
The easiest way to reach Socialtel Cartagena is by private transfer, available for 80,000 COP from the national airport and 100,000 COP from the international airport. Taxis and rideshare apps are also available for a quick and convenient ride.
The closest medical facility is Clínica Cartagena del Mar, located just 2.6 km away (an 8-minute car ride) for any medical needs.
Cartagena’s historic charm is best explored on foot—Socialtel is close to the city’s vibrant downtown, so most attractions, cafes, and cultural spots are just a walk away. For a deeper dive into the city, guided tours and recommendations from our team will help you experience the best of Cartagena.
Socialtel’s Barception and events make it easy to connect, but to truly immerse yourself in the local culture, join free walking tours, explore local markets, and visit street food spots—these are where Cartagena’s energy and community come alive.
Cartagena is lively and safe in well-populated areas, but as with any city, stay aware of your surroundings and avoid lonely or poorly lit streets late at night. Stick to main roads and social hotspots for the best experience.
