Restored Art Deco tower
Luciano Kulczewski's eccentric 1920s apartment tower balances restored period glamour with relaxed rooftop living over Parque Forestal.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Santiago's 1924 residential skyscraper retains its rooftop gargoyle and vintage 1920s Schindler elevator.
Notable
Restored geometric Baldosas Córdova cement floor tiles meet wrought-iron railings and stained glass.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
But otherwise, you might be tempted to take the stairs: they’re made of gorgeous white and gray marble, and bordered with romantic wrought-iron banisters.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Parque Forestal sits right across the street, and Barrio Lastarria's bohemian cafes and bars fill the surrounding lanes.
The rooms
Bedrooms keep their stained-glass panels and parquet floors, and soundproof windows shut out the street below.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated plunge pool sits along the terrace railing, looking out over the treetops of Parque Forestal.
The spa
Bar
Terraza K
The seventh-floor terrace serves drinks from an open-air marble counter lit by glowing globe lamps.
At the table
The ground-floor dining room sets out morning buffets on marble counters and pours drinks at a patterned tile bar.
How it began
Architect Luciano Kulczewski designed the 1920s tower, giving Chile its first residential skyscraper with central heating.
