Ermita Cartagena, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Located along the Caribbean coast, the flourishing city of Cartagena is an internationally recognized hotspot, largely due to its deep cultural roots. This walled city has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. It boasts an unparalleled convergence of colonial aesthetics and Caribbean style thanks to Cartagena's status as a jewel of the Spanish empire during the colonial and Inquisition eras. On a simple stroll, any visitor is immersed in the vibrant local street life and the presence of global travelers, all there to appreciate the same beauty and the city's past offerings. Despite how palpable Cartagena's heritage is as you walk along the azure beaches and admire the colonial architecture, the city also holds vestiges of a cultural encounter: the 19th-century migrations that shaped it into what it is today. The name "Ermita" (Hermitage) comes from a marriage of two worlds. On one hand, the name pays homage to the El Cabrero neighborhood, where the hermitage built in 1900 by Rafael Núñez is the most emblematic building; On the other hand, it alludes to the very essence of the word: a place of worship and retreat, one that welcomes nomads and guides them along their path. Based on an imposing, nearly 100-year-old conservation house, fully restored and where the stories of the past and those yet to come converge, Ermita, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, welcomes its visitors in an atmosphere that pays homage to its cultural heritage; the restaurant, café bar, gardens, and lounges, all housed within the grand building, reaffirm the magic of the place.
