This hotel is fairly unbeatable for the price and convenience for families or small groups who want to stay in Las Condes. They have friendly but not overbearing service, and the kitchenette option makes everything easier for those who do not want to eat out every night
Fodor's Expert Review
Aside from its location near the center of the El Golf entertainment district, this hotel has an important plus in that rooms—all spacious suites—have a kitchenette and small dining area. The service is friendly and very efficient. This hotel also has another less conveniently located and slightly cheaper branch at Avenida Vitacura 3600.

Room
Practical, handsome, clean and spacious, with kitchenette. No carpeting, perfect for guests with allergies.
You Should Know People stay here for the price, convenience and the kitchenettes, not for glamour, so do not be disappointed to know that some of the furnishings, though totally adequate, can seem a bit dated.
Bathroom
Clean and modern, geometric, with laminate flooring.
Lobby
Clean and comfortable, with sofas and chairs, but nothing elaborate.
Gym
Treadmills, machines and weight equipment. Plenty to keep you busy and active.
Dining
Restaurant La Vendimia onsite serves Chilean and international food.
Drinking
Drinks available in the La Vendimia restaurant, with cocktails (try a Pisco sour) or local wines.
Tip There are better bars to be had in the immediate area. Leave the premises for something a bit glitzier.
What's Nearby
Getting Around
This hotel is between two main metro stops on the same line, Tobablaba and El Golf, and in a neighborhood that is considered safe for walking around, even at night (though the usual recommendations apply). However, most guests will probable do a combination of walking metro and Uber/Cabify/taxis to get around.
Restaurants
Close to the hotel there are a few classics, such as Liguria (7-minute walk), serving Chilean specialties in big plates in a cozy atmosphere, Tiramisú (4-minute walk) is popular with families for pizza and salads. Nearby the hotel is also Don Carlos (6-minute walk) for meat, on Isidora Goyenechea, and the top floor of the Costanera Center (10-minute walk) has simple eateries and fancier options in its fifth floor food court. There are two areas to recommend for street-level wandering and restaurant discovery, which are Lastarria (17-minute drive) or Patio Bellavista (13-minute drive) and the adjoining street Constitución, where Peumayén (13-minute drive) serves ancestral food.
