The Haunting

The Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa is a luxury boutique hotel located in Cartagena's historic center. Multiple travel and hotel listings identify the property as occupying the remodeled Claustro de Santa Teresa (Saint Theresa Cloister), an example of adaptive reuse of colonial religious architecture for contemporary hospitality. Sources emphasize the hotel's amenities, contemporary luxury positioning, and inclusion in travel roundups and awards. The supplied research materials do not contain any accounts of hauntings, apparitions, auditory phenomena, poltergeist activity, named spirits, or investigative reports. No folkloric or oral-tradition ghostlore related to the site is present in the provided excerpts. Historical specifics about the original cloister's founding, construction dates, or a detailed timeline of conversion to a hotel are not included in the available sources. Culturally, the site is discussed in tourism and heritage contexts as a notable place to stay in Cartagena and as an instance of preserving and repurposing colonial-era architecture. One accommodation listing gives a differing street number from other listings, introducing minor uncertainty about exact street-address transcription, but all sources corroborate the hotel's operation in the Plaza Santa Teresa / Centro area of Cartagena.
