The hotel has 6 floors, and each one represents the Magdalena department at different levels, aiming to raise awareness about environmental care and connect people with local culture.
Living heritage: Ancestral cultural experience
Immerse yourself in the ancestral roots of Colombia’s oldest region. Our hotel invites you on a unique cultural journey where indigenous tradition comes to life: explore museum-style niches exhibiting the masterful goldsmithing of native peoples, participate in authentic experiences with local communities, and discover how millenary construction techniques fuse with modern comfort.
Every corner of the hotel tells a 500-year story, honoring the legacy of Santa Marta’s first inhabitants and preserving their wisdom for future generations. Live the culture, breathe the history.
