Un-convent-ional Colombia
THIS MONTH: Colombia
WHERE? Sofitel Santa Clara, Cartagena, Colombia
WHAT? Built in the 17th century as a convent for Clarisa nuns (the order founded in 1612 by Doña Catalina de Cabrera), this charming enclave is now a sophisticated 119-room boutique property with every modern amenity.
WHY? In room 501, on the top floor, you’ll be treated to a private ocean-view terrace.
The WOW factor: The scrumptious breakfast buffet is the ideal way to start a day of sightseeing. Check out the walled downtown area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site); then head back for a swim in the hotel’s spacious pool.
