Fodor's Expert Review Casa Higueras

The hills of Valparaíso have enjoyed a boom of boutique hotels in the last decade, but this one is a cut above the rest. Tucked behind the Baburizza Palace, the hotel includes many luxuries, such as an outdoor pool, an elevator, a small spa, and a private garden, that are a rare treat in crowded Valpo. Dark wooden floors and corridors create a calm interior that contrasts with the bustle outside, and the views across the bay and back up the hill are spectacular.
