Simple Patagonia Hotel
Hotel

Serenely surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Western Andes, you’ll discover the charming Simple Patagonia Hotel. In a rustic, intimate setting with only 11 wooden chalets – all with panoramic windows – the family-run resort provides outstanding service and a beautiful setting for exploring Chilean Antarctica. Tuck into traditional specialties at the exclusive on-site restaurant, or head to the bar-lounge area where you can read or relax in front of the fireplace. Take in the forest views, all while enjoying warm Magellanic hospitality from the hotel’s owners.
Carménère Eco Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Eco Hotel, Garden Hotel, Hotel

In the heart of prestigious Providencia, a residential area in Santiago, Carménère is just a few minutes from the Bellavista, Lastarria and Italia neighborhoods. Carménère Eco Hotel is an urban sanctuary in the middle of the city, combining rustic charm and contemporary comforts, so it’s the perfect place to get a feel for Chilean city life. This award-winning, sustainable boutique prides itself on its eco-friendly credentials – and its wine cellar, which houses a collection of world-class organic tipples. There are five rooms in the hotel, all named after different wine-growing valleys in Chile. If you’re looking for a sustainable, gastronomy-focused getaway, this is the place.
Yegua Loca Boutique Hotel
Boutique Hotel

The Yegua Loca Boutique Hotel is located in the maritime metropolis of Punta Arenas, just below the viewpoint of Cerro de la Cruz. From here, you can admire this sprawling city and the Strait of Magellan, at the southern tip of South America. Set in a handsomely refurbished English courthouse built in 1929, the hotel is themed around the early European settlers who first stepped foot on this land in the mid-1800s. There are 15 rooms in the hotel dedicated to Chilean Patagonia’s trades and traditions – rustic rooms such as Coachman, Milkman, Farmer and Blacksmith showcase antiques from these industries. The property is run by a friendly Croatian-Chilean couple whose hospitality makes it the perfect spot for honeymooners.
Alto Atacama
Boutique Hotel, Spa Hotel, Lodge

The word dramatic is overused in travel guides, but this location fits the description. Flamingos cast pastel reflections on the water, backdropped by a lunar dessert. The resort itself is just as beautiful – a huddle of adobe villas, each with its own expansive terrace, so you can admire the views from your shaded patio. Each chalet is decorated with luxurious furnishings, in keeping with the natural colors of its surroundings.
El Mirador de Guadal
Hotel, Villa

Luxurious wood cabins, first-class South American cuisine and impeccable service converge on the shores of Chile’s largest lake, General Carrera – offering a breathtaking view of the Northern Patagonia ice fields. The hotel’s reception and restaurant are housed in a wood-trimmed lodge with a glass facade, overlooking the lake. Inside, antique dining tables, a wood-burning stove and photographs of the Patagonian landscape create a cozy atmosphere. The wooden cabins boast private terraces, scattered around the shore with expansive views over the lake, to the mountains and glaciers beyond. Minimal, neutral decor allows the scenery through the windows to take center stage.

Hotel Casablanca Spa & Wine
Villa

Set in the billowing vineyards of Casablanca, one of Chile’s major wine counties, this homely, colonial-era villa exudes rustic charm. Hotel Casablanca Spa & Wine provides a heated indoor pool, sauna and relaxation area for its guests – ideal for recharging. Additionally, there is the option to upgrade your spa experience with a massage – or the appealing-sounding wine therapy. Simple, spacious rooms are perfect for relaxing after a day’s hiking or woozily exploring the nearby vineyards. There’s also an on-site restaurant with decent South American and Western fare, a small gym, a coffee shop, a bar and tennis courts.
