In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Avenida Italia stretches outside the front door, lined with independent design showrooms, bustling sidewalk cafes, and evening cocktail bars.
The rooms
Rooms are compact and minimalist, pairing bare concrete with native wood, and each opens onto a private planted terrace.
Restaurant
Cafetería Maison Italia
The cafe serves specialty coffee, fresh pastries, and daytime brunch across bistro tables set on patterned courtyard tiles.
At the table
The third-floor lounge opens onto a rooftop terrace, where guests gather for Chilean wines, signature cocktails, and tapas.
How it began
Sisters Camila and Marion De Prada opened the property in 2016, envisioning an urban gathering place for Santiago's creative community.
