Here is our list of the best hotels in Santiago:
I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton in Las Condes and immediately noticed how calm and classic everything feels. This isn’t a trendy hotel, it’s timeless. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and perfect if you just want to switch off after a day in the city.
What I personally loved most was the rooftop wellness area. Sitting in the heated pool while looking out toward the Andes is one of those small moments that makes a stay feel special.
This is easily one of the most impressive hotels I’ve experienced in Santiago. The moment I walked in, it felt more like a resort than a city hotel. There’s space, greenery, and a level of calm you don’t often find in a capital.
I spent a good amount of time by the pool, which is honestly one of the best in the city. It’s large, beautifully designed, and perfect if you want to slow down for a day.
If you want something with more energy, I really liked the vibe at W Santiago. It feels modern, social, and a bit more alive compared to the more traditional hotels.
I ended up spending my evenings at the rooftop, which turns into one of the liveliest spots in the area. It’s not quiet luxury, it’s fun luxury.
I found Renaissance Santiago to be a really comfortable, easy place to stay. It’s slightly more relaxed than the big luxury names, but still feels upscale and well put together.
The rooms are spacious, and I liked being close to Parque Arauco for shopping and restaurants. The rooftop pool is a nice bonus after a long day out.
Hyatt Centric felt very clean and modern when I stayed here. It’s not overly luxurious in a classic sense, but everything is well designed and works exactly how you want it to.
I’d say this is one of the easiest hotels to stay at if you want something simple, stylish, and in a great location.
I really liked the area around Solace Hotel. Providencia feels a bit more local and less hectic, which made the whole stay more relaxed.
The hotel itself is modern and straightforward, and the rooftop terrace was a great place to unwind in the evening.
I stayed here before an early flight, and it did exactly what I needed. It’s not a luxury experience, but it’s comfortable, efficient, and very convenient.
If you have a late arrival or early departure, this just makes your trip a lot easier.
Any of these five-star hotels will give you an excellent experience in Santiago.
If I had to pick just one, I would personally go for The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago. It’s the kind of hotel that simply works, great location, spacious rooms, and that classic five-star feel that makes your stay effortless from start to finish.
I especially liked how easy it was to come back here after a full day in the city. The rooftop pool with views of the Andes adds that extra touch that makes it feel like a proper luxury experience.
That said, each of these luxury hotels in Santiago offers something different. Whether you prefer a resort-style escape like Mandarin Oriental or a more modern, lively stay like W Santiago, you really can’t go wrong.
