History
The third Four Seasons in Colombia, opening April 2, 2026, the hotel revitalises a group of landmark buildings including the 16th-century San Francisco Temple and the 1920s Club Cartagena — a beaux-arts masterpiece by French architect Gastón Lelarge. During restoration, workers rediscovered a centuries-old fresco hidden in the brick dome above what is now the Ballroom de la Veracruz stage. The interiors of the former Club Cartagena and all signature suites were conceived by the late François Catroux, who accepted the project as one of his very last hospitality commissions; the Catroux Suite is named in his honour.
