Alfiz Hotel
Cartagena, Colombia · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Alfiz Hotel occupies a renovated seventeenth-century building in Cartagena de Indias’ historic center. The property is a boutique hotel in the old city, set inside a Spanish colonial structure rather than a purpose-built modern block.
