Conrad Hotels & Resorts has made its Colombian debut with the launch of a 109-bedroom property in the walled city of Cartagena.

Facilities include seven restaurants, five swimming pools spanning more than 24,000sq ft (2,230sq m) and a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course.

In early 2018, Conrad will open a 9,600sq ft (890 sq m) luxury spa at the hotel, as well as add another 159 bedrooms.

“With Cartagena being one of the most popular destinations in the country, we're proud to announce the opening of Conrad Cartagena as the newest addition to our luxury portfolio in the region,” said Tom Potter, senior vice president, operations, Latin America and the Caribbean, Hilton.

John Vanderslice, global head, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, said the property – Conrad’s third in Latin America – is part of the group’s expansion plans in the region.

“Conrad Cartagena represents our continued commitment to expanding Conrad’s footprint in Latin America,” Vanderslice said.

“We look forward to offering guests an innovative way to stay inspired by introducing travellers to the brand’s hospitality and curating experiences that pay tribute to luxury living.”

Conrad is the “smart luxury hotel brand” of Hilton Hotels and currently operates 40 hotels worldwide.
