A 16th-century cloister and temple, the 1920s Club Cartagena and several historic theaters, each built for a different purpose, now form a single luxury destination in Cartagena’s Getsemaní neighborhood. In this piece, Monica Cuervo, Managing Director, The Americas, traces WATG’s role in the 14-year conversion, from site planning shaped by heritage regulations and a high water table to frescoes uncovered during construction and restored as focal points. Working with Wimberly Interiors and local preservation specialists, the team adapted the design to the architecture, preserving open corridors and the 400-year-old trees that still shade the cloister courtyard.
