February is peak wedding season in Cartagena, so we strongly encourage our guests to secure accommodations as soon as you confirm your attendance. The bride and groom will be staying at the Nacar Hotel from Thursday, February 5 - Monday, February 9, 2026.
Most hotels in Cartagena are on the smaller side, so finding one hotel for everyone was difficult. We’ve provided a mix of options, from high-end luxury to more budget-friendly stays, to suit different preferences and group sizes! We highly recommend booking directly via the hotel vs 3rd parties for the best price and service!
Our Top Recommendation:
Nacar Hotel (Hilton) - SPECIAL BOOKING LINK
- Where the bride and groom will be staying!
- 14-minute walk to Museo Naval (or quick Uber ride)
- Why we love it: Nacar has an epic rooftop pool and bar area that are perfect for mingling between wedding events and cooling off from Cartagena’s heat. It’s an amazing spot to relax and take in the view!
- On-site restaurant and spa
- Rooms are divided between the main hotel building and private suites in the Casa Collection building (they are close by to each other)
- Booking deadline: Book early—only 49 rooms available!
