The new-build property has 91 rooms, a restaurant, a pool, a terrace bar and even a Turkish bath.

In particular, Sonesta Hotel Ibagué allows us to expand the Sonesta brand and drive increased awareness in another large international city,” said Carlos Flores, President and Chief Executive Officer, Sonesta International Hotels Corporation. “We’re excited to bring our dedication to guest service and deliver a truly distinct experience to visitors of Ibagué.”
