Hilton’s second hotel in Colombia is also located in the country’s oldest Hispanic city, Santa Marta. Overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the property is within walking distance from the beach, located near the mountains of Sierra Nevada and the ancient ruins of Tayrona National Natural Park – a natural reserve with white-sand beaches and crystalline waters. The land and sea park are also home to archaeological sites, indigenous communities and diverse flora and fauna. Inspired by its surroundings, Hilton Santa Marta’s 261 contemporary rooms have an elegant and warm ambience through elements of stones, woods, metals, and crystals. The hotel’s design concept spans into the guest room corridors, decorated with woodwork engraved by local artisans and showcasing the area’s diverse marine wildlife.
For those seeking more spacious accommodations, the Ocean Front Suite Terrace offers an oversized furnished balcony with a hot tub, living room and dining room. The hotel features five culinary concepts that showcase local cuisine, with restaurant names honouring the native Arhuaco language. Nuggo (meaning salt) pays homage to Colombia’s rich history with Latin soul food and authentic Caribbean Creole dishes; Waku (meaning fish) offers seafood and catch of the day; pool bar Uzu (meaning sand) serves food and drinks inspired by local fruits; while the highest rooftop lounge and bar in the city, Sikunu, is located on the hotel’s 16th floor/ Plans to include a spa and Kids Club are already underway.
