Courtyard by Marriott Santa Marta Resort opens in Bello Horizonte with a concept inspired by local identity

Courtyard by Marriott announced the opening of its new resort in Bello Horizonte, Santa Marta, incorporating a hospitality concept that integrates modern comfort with references to the region's rich cultural and natural heritage. Located in one of the city's most peaceful and well-connected areas, the hotel positions itself as a strategic option for both leisure and business travelers.

The property offers easy access to the Caribbean coast and points of interest such as Tayrona National Natural Park, making it an ideal starting point for exploring one of Colombia's most diverse natural environments. This location allows for experiences that combine beach, mountains, and biodiversity.

The resort's design concept draws inspiration from the ancestral cultures of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a region considered to have high spiritual and environmental value. This inspiration translates into an aesthetic that incorporates traditional materials such as cañaflecha (arrow cane), natural textiles, organic woods, and a color palette based on elements of the surrounding environment, along with vegetation integrated into various spaces throughout the hotel.

One of the project's distinctive features is its double-height lobby, designed to evoke the movement of the Caribbean Sea and create an immersive atmosphere that connects with the destination's identity. This narrative is complemented by spaces designed to promote contemplation, relaxation, and connection with the surroundings.

The rooms feature a contemporary design, with functional spaces, high-speed connectivity and, in many cases, balconies with views towards the Sierra Nevada, allowing the landscape to be integrated as part of the stay experience.

The hotel's amenities include an outdoor pool with a children's area, a pool bar, a gym, and easy beach access. For dining, the Emile restaurant offers all-day dining options, with a focus on accessibility and versatility. The hotel also features family-friendly facilities and is pet-friendly, broadening its appeal to a wider range of travelers.

The company emphasized that the new resort aims to offer a balanced experience combining flexibility, service, and a connection with the environment, in line with current industry trends. The opening strengthens the brand's presence in the Colombian Caribbean and solidifies Santa Marta as a growing destination on the regional tourism map.
