Zero Hotel

About Zero Hotel

A charming, historic house on the pretty Lautaro Rosas Street with views of the seafront.

Standing proud amongst Valpariaso's streets of pastel-coloured houses, Zero Hotel is a picturesque spot with baby-blue walls and white shutters splashed with clusters of magenta flowers. A converted mansion, it fits right into Valpo's 'new look' as a modernised city that draws travellers from far and wide. Location-wise, Zero is on a quiet street in the Lautaro Rosas neighbourhood, overlooking the harbour and Bay below - look out at sunset for the best views. A great spot to base yourself in, spend your days exploring this seaside city once dubbed 'The Jewel of South America', and wander the cobblestone streets, nosing around the shops, stalls and restaurants of the city.

Property details

The property

Zero Hotel has a quaint, old-fashioned feel to it with original bay windows and parquet floors, reminiscent of its 19th-century glory days. The breakfast room enjoys fabulous views of the city through vast windows that provide a sunny, light start to the day - or, enjoy your morning on one of the terraces (there are many), on a sun lounger or from the Jacuzzi. Plush rugs run along corridors adorned with funky artwork, and there's a lounge and 'honesty' bar to partake in too.

The rooms

There are just nine boutique rooms, all decorated with photographs of the city, antique light fixtures and bright drapes. They each have a King-sized bed draped in throws and Egyptian cotton linens, and some rooms have a small sitting area with cosy armchairs. The bathrooms are spacious with well-appointed amenities, marble countertops and a shower/bathtub. Four of the rooms enjoy views of the bay, while the others face the hillside and tall windows let in plenty of light.

Activities

Valpariaso is filled with street art, which you'll discover on strolls across the hillsides including the 'Museum of the Open Sky', where 20 murals were painted by top Chile lodges and have been added to over time. Get to know the city's naval history at the Naval and Maritime Museum and Lord Cochrane Museum of the Sea, or ride the historic El Peral funicular to the harbour for a walk along the bay as you watch the ships go by and dine on Chorrillana, Valparaiso's signature dish.

Why we love it

The lovely area, which is close to the historic centre, but still quiet enough to feel outside the city.

Insiders Tip

If it's up your alley, there are yoga sessions on the lower terrace in summer, and reiki and reflexology treatments can be arranged.

Something to think about

Zero doesn't have a restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the hotel is within walking distance of multiple fine restaurants and bars.
