What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Some of that old-fashioned charm shows through to the present day: note the chandeliers, high ceilings, tiled flooring, marble fixtures, and a rear stone staircase that tumbles into a verdant courtyard garden with a swimming pool.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Lastarria's wine bars and galleries line the surrounding lanes, and the walking paths of Parque Forestal are steps away.
The rooms
Junior suites open onto private terraces or keep original 1920s fireplaces. Bathrooms are finished in cool slate.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the stone terrace beside the seasonal swimming pool, quiet beneath the courtyard trees.
At the table
Deli Lounge serves regional wines and Chilean dishes over herringbone parquet floors, spilling out onto the courtyard patio.
How it began

The 1927 mansion served as the Santiago bureau for Spain's EFE news agency before opening as a boutique hotel.
