HISTORY
Discover the fascinating story behind Hotel Nieto in Mompox! In 1922, Roberto Nieto Ricaurte purchased this house for 1700 Colombian pesos, a considerable sum back then. Despite being born into poverty and facing the stigma of having no recognized father, Roberto, through his hard work on banana plantations, managed to become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the region.
Together with his wife Josefina, of Italian descent, they raised seven children, many of whom left the town in search of education. However, the arrival of truck transportation in the 1960s brought about a decline in the river commerce of the Magdalena River, impacting the local economy and the family business.
In 2012, Roberto’s grandson, Martin Nieto, who had never met his grandfather, visited Mompox and was impressed by the desolate state of the family house. He decided to undertake its restoration and transform it into the charming Hotel Nieto, thus preserving the history and legacy of his family for other travelers to enjoy this unique experience.
It was in this same house that José Ignacio Nieto Simanca, Colombia’s first Ph.D. in mathematics in 1956, was born, adding a fascinating chapter to its history. Immerse yourself in the authentic experience of Hotel Nieto in Mompox and uncover the richness of its past while enjoying an unforgettable stay. We look forward to welcoming you to be part of this story!
