At GEH Suites Hotels, we believe that traveling does not begin at the airport nor end at check-out. Travel begins when curiosity awakens—when you decide to discover not only a destination, but its history, culture, and the context that shaped it.

That’s why we created our Spotify channel: “GEH Suites: Travel and Memories”, a podcast designed to enrich the experience of those visiting Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Bogotá.

More than a series of episodes, it is an extension of our philosophy: offering hospitality with meaning.

Why a travel podcast from a hotel chain?

In a world where information is immediate but often superficial, today’s traveler seeks depth. They want to understand the place they visit. They want context.

Cultural tourism in Colombia is growing. More and more travelers want to know:

• What happened within Cartagena’s walls.
• Why Getsemaní is a symbol of resistance.
• How the Banana Boom transformed Santa Marta.
• What the San José Galleon represents in Caribbean history.

Our podcast was born as a response to that need: to connect travelers with the memory of the destination.

Because when you understand a place, you value it more.

Some published episodes: living history of our destinations

Through Travel and Memories, we explore topics that transform the way cities are experienced.

Cartagena: more than walls and colonial photos

Getsemaní: history, art, and resistance

A neighborhood that evolved from a colonial outskirts to a cultural symbol. Understanding its role in the November 11, 1811 independence movement completely changes the experience of walking its streets.

Las Bóvedas of Cartagena

What is now a tourist attraction was once part of a colonial military strategy. Knowing its original purpose adds historical depth to a walk along the walls.

Portal de los Dulces

Tradition, commerce, and gastronomic culture in the heart of the historic center.

Cerro de la Popa

More than a panoramic viewpoint, a place rich in religious and strategic history.

The San José Galleon

One of the most fascinating chapters in Colombian Caribbean history—symbol of wealth, conflict, and historical memory.

Santa Marta: the historical heart of the Colombian Caribbean

500 years of Santa Marta

The oldest city in Colombia and one of the first founded in South America. Understanding its origins transforms the way the destination is experienced.

The Banana Boom

A defining episode for the economy and social history of the Magdalena region. Understanding it is understanding part of regional identity.

Each episode is designed to offer clear, accessible, and well-documented content—ideal for curious travelers, travel agencies, and lovers of Colombian culture.

GEH Suites: hotels in Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Bogotá

Practical recommendations by destination

If you’re traveling to Cartagena, listen to:

• Getsemaní
• Las Bóvedas
• Portal de los Dulces
• Cerro de la Popa

If you’re traveling to Santa Marta, listen to:

• 500 Years of History
• The Banana Boom

This small habit changes the way you travel.

Traveling with context transforms the experience

An informed traveler observes more.

Walking through Getsemaní without knowing its history is very different from doing so knowing it was the cradle of independence movements. Visiting Las Bóvedas with an understanding of their military role changes perception. Exploring Santa Marta while knowing its role in Colombian history adds depth.

Traveling with context:

• Enhances the cultural experience
• Creates more meaningful conversations
• Allows a more authentic connection with the destination
• Enriches travel memories

At GEH Suites, we understand that today’s traveler seeks more than comfort—they seek meaning.

A strategic brand vision: hospitality + content + technology

The podcast is part of a broader strategy.

By 2026, GEH Suites is implementing artificial intelligence in operational processes to improve guest experience and efficiency with travel agencies.

We have developed tools like Booking Connect, where:

• Agencies check availability in real time
• Manage quotations
• Use AI (Sofía) to streamline processes
• Quote flight + hotel packages
• Operate with greater autonomy

The podcast complements this evolution. While we optimize the technological experience, we strengthen the cultural experience.

Hotel + content + innovation.

A modern hotel chain must offer more than accommodation—it must offer context, information, and connection.

Cultural tourism in Colombia: a growing trend

Cultural and experiential tourism is expanding. Travelers no longer settle for visiting landmarks—they want to understand them.
