Café Rialto at Four Seasons Cartagena

Why we recommend Café Rialto at Four Seasons Cartagena

Café Rialto sits inside the Four Seasons Cartagena, which opened in early 2026 inside a collection of beautifully restored historic buildings in Getsemaní, including the 1920s Beaux-Arts Club Cartagena designed by French architect Gastón Lelarge. The café itself occupies a space with a striking past: not long ago, the floor above housed a brothel. Now it's one of the most polished café interiors in the city, fully air conditioned, with custom La Marzocco espresso machines and every preparation method you could ask for.

They use San Alberto beans, which produce exceptional coffee. The result is a genuinely spectacular cup. The service has some growing pains: the hotel opened recently and the café's team's service is still finding its rhythm (which was noteworthy for a property of this caliber). That said it was worth the patience.

What We Love

  • Spectacular coffee using San Alberto beans and custom La Marzocco machines
  • Every preparation method available
  • Stunning interior inside a beautifully restored historic building
  • Fully air conditioned
  • Rich building history worth knowing before you visit

What to know

  • Service is still finding its footing as a new opening
  • More formal than some of the other cafés on this list
