The restoration began for Hotel Alfiz in 2005 and lasted an exhausting two and a half years, before becoming the luxury boutique hotel it is today. In the centre of the historical district, it has great access to all the culture and evidence of bygone times in Cartagena you could wish for. There are just 8 rooms and suites, each room decorated and dedicated to certain times in the history of Cartagena.
