Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, juice and traditional cuisine from Cartagena, as well as breads and pastries, and is served in the inner courtyard of the hotel.

Yes. Head to the rooftop bar to sample a selection of the best Colombian cocktails Cartagena has to offer.
One of the few hotels to do so in the centre of the city, the Sophia Hotel Cartagena houses a rooftop pool adjacent to the bar. There is also a mobile spa that goes from room to room offering guests a selection of different massages including lymphatic drainage and couples treatments.
The staff at the Sophia Hotel are extremely helpful and can arrange boat trips to the nearby Rosario Islands on your behalf. There is also a meeting room available to hire for events.
