Hotel Magnolia

About Hotel Magnolia

A historic mansion in the heart of Santiago with a stellar design that mixes old and new.

Once the home of a prominent political family, the Hotel Magnolia was built in 1929 and is within walking distance of Santiago's historic centre. Some spaces reflect its Neo-Gothic heritage, while others bring the hotel into the 21st century with a sleek, contemporary touch. A grand, marble staircase leads up to rooms with original stained-glass windows, while the communal areas have an industrial style and exposed brick walls. Spend your days exploring this city nestled in the Andes, taking in the view atop Cerro Santa Lucia, delving into Pre-Columbian history and enjoying the art galleries in Lastarria.

Property details

The property

A handsome building in central Santiago, the hotel blends its heritage with mod, geometric lights and a glass ceiling that floods the restaurant with light. Here, you'll enjoy an array of Chilean cuisine: think Patagonian lamb in Carménère sauce with Ulmo honey mousse for dessert. Enjoy the Magnolia's take on Chile's national drink - an avocado and radish Pisco Sour - in the moody, back-lit bar, or head to the rooftop bar for a stunning view over the city. There's a well-stocked library with comfy chairs to relax in.

The rooms

Almost Scandinavian in style, the rooms and suites have light eucalyptus walls, soothing textiles and headboards painted with alpine scenes. Historic elements are dotted throughout and include bold alerce door handles, hand-made serigraphs and Gothic-style windows. The bathrooms are spacious with glass, wood and travertine marble details and lovely showers. Some rooms feature a balcony, where you'll enjoy a tasty, private breakfast. The Magnolia Suite boasts a lounge and dining room with designer furniture and a black marble bar with a selection of Chilean wines.

Activities

Set out on foot and get to know Santiago, visiting its art and Pre-Columbian artefact museums, the Spanish architecture of its main plaza, and the Parque Forestal, filled with sculptures and lush greenery. Of course, the city also has a modern side with snazzy skyscrapers - catch the sunset over the Andes from Sky Costanera - to a funicular that takes you to the summit of San Cristobal Hill. 90 minutes outside Santiago, Valle Nevado offers skiing in winter, and horseback rides and hikes in summer.

Why we love it

The 7th-floor rooftop bar is fabulous with a glass floor and views of the entire city. In fact, we highly recommend eating here too!

Insiders Tip

The hotel can arrange a special trip to one of the oldest wineries in Maipu Valley - don't be shy to ask.

Something to think about

Noise from the streets below may travel to some rooms. If this is a deal-breaker, it's best to request a higher room.
