Hotels in Santiago

Nowadays, Santiago can cater to most accommodation tastes. High-rollers can choose between dependable luxury chains or stylish boutique hotels while budget travellers need not stay in dives - the city is such a backpacker thoroughfare these days that there are plenty of low-cost places to stay. Most of the high-end options tend to be clustered in the financial district of Las Condes, while there are a couple of good-value mid-range hotels in Parque Forestal. Bellavista and Barrio Brasil have the most for budget visitors.

The hotels below have been classed into four different pricing categories:
$$$$ (over $200)
$$$ (US$130 to $200)
$$ (US$50 to $129)
$ (up to US$50)
The prices quoted above are the starting prices for a standard double room and include taxes and breakfast unless otherwise specified.

Best Western Hotel Majestic

A quirky, rambling hotel with a fine Indian restaurant and very accommodating staff. This is one of the best value mid-range options in the central part of the city - although the surrounding area is too quiet at night for some tastes. You can usually negotiate a discount if you are staying for more than one night.

Address: Santo Domingo 1526, Santiago, Chile

Happy House Hostel

A superb, ambitious renovation makes this colourful converted Barrio Brasil mansion the place to head to satisfy your old bohemian instincts - even though you now have more cash in your pockets. With everything from a games room to a delightful patio with views right over the city, this lovely relaxed place is for former backpackers who can afford to indulge themselves a bit more.

Address: Catedral 2207, Santiago, Chile

Hotel Foresta

This beautifully located hotel (right by Cerro Santa Lucía) has been around for a while. It has kept its old style, which means it is chock full of character, although sometimes this spills over into a slightly cluttered feel. However, the service is very attentive and with the arty district of Lastarria right next door, it is one of the best and most affordable options in town.

Address: Subercaseaux 353, Santiago, Chile

Telephone: (02) 639 6261

Hotel Galerias

Impeccable modern rooms and efficient staff make this a popular choice among the business jet-set. Two Easter Island style statues guard the entrance to this plush hotel, upgraded in 2005 with an extensive refurbishment, and the South America décor theme is visible throughout. There is also a fine restaurant, the Vichuquén .

Hotel Paris Nuevo

Good budget option just round the corner from the Fundador. Make sure you ask for a room in the newer, nicer part of the hotel.

Address: Calle Paris 813, Santiago, Chile

Telephone: (02) 639 4037

Hotel Plaza San Francisco

This smart hotel has gleaming wood panels and courteous staff. Comfortable (sometimes luxurious) and efficient, it has a central location particularly convenient for business professionals. It is located on Santiago's busiest road, but the hotel's double-glazing shields the guests from noise.

Address: Avenida Bernardo O'Higgins 816 (Alameda), Santiago, Chile

Telephone: (02) 360 4445

Hotel Orly

This is a fantastic boutique hotel of only 28 rooms, housed in a converted mansion.

Ritz Carlton

Price: Luxury

This is the latest in hotel opulence in Santiago, where the service is impeccable, Egyptian sheets adorn your bed and there is just about every luxury you could possibly desire within the hotel's walls.

ChilHotel

Price: Moderate

Perhaps the most sensible option of any of the these listings, ChilHotel is practical, comfortable and affordable. On a quiet street within easy walking distance of the Metro in Providencia, it is the sort of place you would be happy to put your parents on a visit to the city with its good-value rooms (although some err on the small side) and polite service.
