Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Ismael 312

Ismael Valdes Vergara 312, Santiago, Santiago Metropolitan, 8320089, Chile Fodor's Choice

This well-placed and well-run design hotel with a personal touch has expansive views over Parque Forestal and a rooftop pool from which to enjoy it. Chairs designed by Cristian Valdes are parked at the desks in the minimalist but comfortable rooms with high-end furnishings, and throughout the property, walls are adorned in native materials such as wood and textiles. There's a 3-D map of the city's comunas (districts), which you might mistake for abstract art. It's worth the extra expenditure to get a park view. The one suite on hand makes you want to move in forever, if you could afford the rates long-term.
