Holiday Inn Express Bocagrande celebrates 10 years of hospitality in Cartagena
With a decade of experience, the property is positioned as a key point for tourism in the city, combining culinary innovation, local employment and memorable experiences for travelers from around the world
Cartagena, August 2025. — The Holiday Inn Express Bocagrande celebrates its tenth anniversary, established as one of the city's leading hotels, thanks to its modern hospitality, first-class service, and constant commitment to innovation.
Over the past decade, the hotel has maintained an average occupancy rate higher than the local market with its more than 200 rooms, distributed across Standard Queen, Standard Twin, Superior, and Accessible categories. This strong performance is reflected in double-digit annual revenue growth, driven by the preference of domestic (42%) and international (58%) travelers.
With a team of more than 70 employees, the property has not only strengthened its position in the tourism sector but has also contributed to the economic and social development of Cartagena.
Services and experiences
The hotel offers a full range of services, including parking, express breakfasts, a pool, a gym, a business center, high-speed Wi-Fi, a massage room, and versatile event spaces distributed across the Agua, Guácharo, Jobo, Carreto, and Guásimo rooms.
One of its biggest recent attractions is Rooftop By Listo, a casual food bar that offers a relaxed experience with fresh cuisine, a social atmosphere, and affordable prices. It combines snacks, quick meals, and full-service options in a modern space accompanied by music and prompt service.
A pizza-flavored celebration
As part of its anniversary, Rooftop By Listo is participating in Pizza Master 2025, which runs from September 22 to 28. This year, the hotel is presenting its specialty: the Caribbean pizza, prepared with crispy pork rinds, caramelized onions, charred paprika, house Neapolitan sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
"This anniversary represents a renewed commitment to continue providing memorable experiences to our guests, with the same warmth and excellence that has characterized us for these 10 years," said César Bernal, general manager of the Holiday Inn Express Bocagrande.
With these initiatives, the hotel reaffirms its role as a leading hospitality destination in Cartagena, offering a space that combines comfort, innovation, and flavor in every detail.
