Best hotels in Santiago

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).

In the heart of Santiago, Debaines Hotel is a sanctuary of style and comfort, blending refined boutique hospitality with classical grandeur. The rooms and public spaces invite you to explore a unique fusion of Chilean heritage and design that whispers rather than shouts.

Built directly opposite the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, the Holiday Inn has the goods to make your stopover before jetting in or out of Santiago a comfortable one. The interiors are slick and stylish with high ceilings and well-appointed amenities. If you have a little time to spare, Chile's capital city is certainly worth exploring. Take a stroll up the historic Cerro Santa Lucia (with views of the Andes spread out beyond the city), visit the museums and beautiful gardens along the Parque Forestal, or grab a coffee in one of the artsy neighbourhoods.

Designed entirely by New York's renowned Studio Gaia, 45 combines copper, a Chilean element, with a modern structure, attention to detail, and environmental awareness. 45 by Director is the first 100% renovated hotel in Chile to achieve LEED Gold certification for sustainability.

CasaDeTodos is the first boutique bed and breakfast hotel established in Chile. It offers excellent personalized service and is located in the Providencia district, just a 5-minute walk from the Manuel Montt station—part of Santiago's oldest and largest metro line, which connects to all the city's major tourist attractions. The hotel also has two parking lots available for guests.

In January 2012, CasaDeTodos opened its doors to travelers from all over the world, achieving resounding international success due to its affordable rates and high-quality accommodations. The hotel features 12 rooms, each with its own unique character and private bathroom, all tastefully decorated in distinctive colors. The atmosphere is well-known for being relaxed and welcoming.

The Hotel Casa Real is located on the Santa Rita Estate, and was formerly the summerhouse of the winery’s founder. Following restoration, it was converted into a hotel in the mid-1990s. It's located in a 40-hectare park designed by leading French landscape gardener Guillaume Renner. Its late 19th-century classical style has been preserved, making it a historic monument and the only park of its kind in the country. Hotel Casa Real offers 16 beautiful rooms, fine dining, salons, and outstanding service, in a setting of absolute privacy and exclusivity. Alongside the hotel stands a Neo-Gothic chapel built in 1880 - like the mansion, it was designed by German architect, Theodor Burchard.
