I've been on the hunt for a boutique hotel that will lure me away from the Santa Clara...and i think i've found it... This is an utterly charming hotel which will enchant you. Just 8 rooms in total so very personalised service and quiet. Rooms are large, modern and simply decorated, kingsize beds, monsoon shower...but it is the setting -... More

A jewel of a city, a jewel of a hotel! I find it absolutely insane that El Marques is not near the top of the top of ratings. Our stay there was dreamy. Granted, we had the junior suite in the front and sort of "annexed" the reading room next door as our own, so we felt like royalty, basking... More

Had a wonderful supper in the glorious intimate courtyard. The food is amazing and the service is discreet but attentive. The pool and lounge areas are gorgeous. Wish we had discovered it earlier as this is truly a fabulous boutique hotel. The only posible complaint was San Peligrino water priced at 15€ per small bottle.

I stayed at the Hotel Boutique "El Marques" for 3 days. Initially when booking, I contacted management via web page (e-mail) asking for availability and prices. I was quoted a very high price for the smallest suite via e-mail. The rate was one I wouldn't pay in some of the best hotels here in Florida. Thier web site does not... More

We stayed at this hotel for three nights in August. It was centrally located in el Centro district near Plaza Santo Domingo. The colonial architecture of the hotel is amazing. There's a large, open central courtyard with tables and chairs where breakfast is served in the mornings. Several lounge areas were available to sit around, read, and relax. We also... More

This is a great little hotel. It's very small and quiet. Has a great colonial feel, but with all the modern updates you expect. Service was friendly and efficient. The facilities were spotless. It has a great little pool with nice padded loungers to relax on for the hot Cartagena afternoons. The location can't be beat, right in the old... More

I stayed at El Marques with some friends and it was great! The hotel keeps it's colonial charm with all modern comforts - cool a/c rooms great for Cartagena weather, wifi throughout, modern rooms and bathrooms. The staff couldn't be more helpful, it was like having a personal butler 24hrs! Breakfast was amazing, the bread is even made by the... More

This is my first review on this website, and I am only taking the effort to write it because of the amazing experience at El Marques. We had a beautiful room - modern and well-appointed, but which exuded immense colonial charm. The staff was very prompt and helpful. But most of all, this hotel is an absolute gem. I would... More
