Outside the door
Glass-crowned neo-Gothic townhouse
Neo-Gothic heritage merges with modern glass, joined by suspended aerial walkways, an airy atrium, and restored checkerboard marble floors.
“There’s a just-right juxtaposition of the old with the new: a Neo-Gothic facade, stained glass windows, and black-and-white marble floors in the foyer add gravitas.”
Where it shines
Remarkable
Suspended glass walkways link the 1929 mansion to three upper floors wrapped in glass.
Notable
A 1929 neo-Gothic mansion preserves original stained glass and a spiral marble staircase.

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
It’s housed in a landmark building which dates back to the 1920s but looks for all the world like something from the 1520s.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Located at the base of Cerro Santa Lucía, the hotel sits steps from Bellas Artes museums and Lastarria's bohemian wine bars.
The rooms
Minimalist rooms are wrapped in pale eucalyptus wood, featuring hand-painted headboards of native flora and walk-in rainfall showers.
The treatment room
An underground treatment room provides tension-relief bodywork and lymphatic drainage beside an antique folding screen.
Restaurant
Magnolia Bistró
Set under the glass-paneled atrium, the bistro serves seasonal Chilean comfort food over checkerboard marble floors.
An airy network of glass walkways and ceilings, and light wells brighten dark corners, whilst the building’s original floorboards now clad the walls of passageways.
At the table
Cocktails are shaken at the brass bar downstairs, and the open-air rooftop terrace looks toward Cerro Santa Lucía.
How it began
Built in 1929 as an aristocratic mansion, the residence was later restored by architect Cazú Zegers, who added three glass-wrapped upper floors.
