The Best Hotels In Santiago Chile

This bastion of old-world comfort in the heart of high-rise ‘Sanhattan’ (aka chic Las Condes), offers white-gloved service, refined dining and a rooftop pool and spa. Opened in 2003, this stalwart of South American hospitality has stayed the test of time. Tee-up a round of golf at the nearby Country Club, followed by an al fresco lunch in the upscale eatery Estró. Clinch the deal in the lounge bar with one of more than a dozen varieties of Pisco sour and unwind in the jacuzzi as the sun kisses the snow-capped Andes.

2. Hotel Boutique Le Rêve

Hotel Boutique Le Rêve in Santiago, Chile - an elegant nineteenth century mansion covered in ivy.

The honesty bar and the free midnight snacks from the well-stocked kitchen are there to make you feel en casa.

3. Casanoble Hotel Boutique

Located strategically between the bohemian barrios of Lastarria and Bellas Artes, Casanoble Hotel Boutique is an eight-room treat for eco-conscious lovers of art, design and architecture.
