Tucked away in Cartagena’s historic Walled City, Casa Carolina is an intimate retreat where travelers can experience a special connection to Gabriel García Márquez. This boutique hideaway offers a rare opportunity to step into the world of the Colombian literary giant in the city that inspired his most beloved works.

In celebration of Márquez’s birthday month (March 6), guests can stay in the Fermina Daza Suite, featuring an authentic bed from the film Love in the Time of Cholera—a true cinematic and literary treasure.

To further honor Márquez’s legacy, the hotel has crafted the Baile y Fuego cocktail, inspired by Of Love and Other Demons and the fiery hues of Cartagena’s sunrises and sunsets. Made with Mezcal Ojo de Tigre, Aperol, fermented tangerine/guava, and tamarind sweet & sour, this cocktail reflects the passion, mysticism, and rich flavors woven throughout Márquez’s storytelling.

For travelers seeking a one-of-a-kind escape infused with literary history, Casa Carolina is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
