Behind an unassuming facade lies a delightfully eccentric treasure trove that would make Wes Anderson proud. Every nook tells a story through vibrant colours and charmingly peculiar decorative pieces - spot the vintage Chilean movie posters if you can. The building's clever transformation has preserved delightful architectural quirks, with original 1950s terrazzo floors playing host to an utterly modern sustainability ethos. Rather refreshingly, the owner still pops by for morning coffee with guests, sharing sworn-by secrets about hidden art galleries and the city's best empanada spots (hint: skip the tourist-packed Mercado Central).

The beating heart is undoubtedly the verdant garden, where hummingbirds flit between native flowers and century-old trees provide welcome shade. Inside, contemporary Chilean art adorns the walls, while cozy reading nooks invite you to linger over a glass of carménère. The restaurant's farm-to-table menu showcases organic produce from local suppliers.
No two rooms are alike here - a refreshing departure from cookie-cutter hotel design. What they do share is an abundance of natural light, smart sustainability features (without sacrificing comfort), and a delightfully warm aesthetic that makes you feel instantly at home. Some rooms open directly onto the garden - perfect for morning meditation or evening sundowners.
The morning birdsong in the garden - rather unexpected for central Santiago.
Ask for a room overlooking the ancient magnolia tree - its blooms put on quite the show in spring.
Those eco-credentials aren't just for show - your stay here genuinely treads lightly
