Townhouse Art Hotel Cartagena.
A provocative eleven-room art hotel nestled in the heart of Cartagena's historic Old Town, Townhouse is not your typical luxury accommodation. It's a vibrant cultural canvas that blurs the lines between boutique hotel, art gallery, and social playground.
The Lowdown.
Founded in 2017 by creative entrepreneurs seeking to fill a gap between stuffy luxury hotels and backpacker hostels, Townhouse represents a bold reimagining of hospitality. Each space is intentionally designed to celebrate Colombian art, music, and culture, transforming a simple stay into an experiential journey.
The Neighbourhood.
Situated on Calle Segunda de Badillo in the historic center, the hotel sits perfectly positioned to explore Cartagena's most charming neighborhood. Just steps away from colonial architecture, local galleries, and the city's most intriguing restaurants, Townhouse offers an immersive urban experience that connects guests directly to the pulse of Colombian creativity.
