Luciano K, Santiago de Chile
Expert reviews
“This new high-design hotel occupies seven floors of a 1920s-era building that was once the tallest in Santiago with the city’s first lift (it’s still in use!). The rooftop claims a trendy bar (with mesmerizing floor tiles) and a pool big enough to fit a small family.”
“Well located, perched between Plaza Italia, Santiago’s main transportation hub and the Bellas Artes corridor, this hotel was built into one of Santiago’s finest examples of Art Deco architecture, a building that dates back to 1928 and still retains much of its original charm, including the first functioning elevator in the country.”
“Luciano K, once the tallest building in Santiago, is an Art Deco building just steps from one of Santiago’s top gastronomic neighbourhoods. Now it is home to 38 elegant rooms topped by a quirky roof terrace and bar serving up park views and heady pisco sours.”

Very good
Excellent central location close to bars, restaurants & metro. Big bed. Old fashioned lift.
Internal facing room with very little natural light during daytime but too much artificial light at night coming from inner lobby.

Great location. Bathroom was spacious and bed was comfy. Staff were super helpful, especially when we checked out early but didn’t head to the airport until midnight. We could still use the facilities and securely store our luggage.

Exceeded expectation, would recommend if you are wanting to explore Santiago city center for a few days!
Great location, close to good selection of good restaurants and viewpoints, very warm welcoming staff would definitely recommend!

Centrally located hotel with friendly, helpful staff which offers great value for money.
Central location. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Accommodated very early start with breakfast tray. Fabulous shower and comfortable bed.
Hotel general areas were a bit tired and dated.

Aircon not the best

Overall decent stay with the best part being the front office staff.
Very pleasant front office staff; breakfast included; relatively good location; upper level open air bar (you cannot see out to the park, by the way—it’s just literally an open air area to chat and drink); the room seemed very quiet (street noise aside—if the window is open you’ll hear lots of street noise).
No major gripes, but a few mentions. We had a deluxe room but it had an odd design where the exterior window that would be nice to hang out by was in a bathroom facing the street. (My understanding is that not all rooms even have a window.) The interior portion of the room had the beds close to the hallway in a relatively tight configuration. As organized, this was not a place we wanted to chill out and relax at the end of the day. The interior bed area was kind of dark and uninviting. I included a picture of the layout. The included breakfast was pretty basic and will disappoint some. The floor wasn’t very clean and my wife took to doing her own daily floor mopping. We were cautioned by one gentleman who worked there not to be out late or early morning—not a problem with the hotel but its location.

Fun art deco property in a great location
Great location. Neat history behind the property. The rooftop bar was a nice touch. The art deco architecture and furnishings were fun.
The breakfast was just alright. Don't drink the coffee.

Location and Art deco feel with helpful staff Lots of character opposite the park. The ladies On reception were especially helpful, running after us after checkout as we had left glasses in the room.
Breakfast was complete but a little basic and parking could be tricky

I liked that the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location. The rooms were a decent size and the breakfast was good. The rooftop bar was also a nice area to hang out.
All of the standard rooms don’t have windows facing the outside - they face a ventilation shaft - and this wasn’t clear from the pictures.

A great place to stay in Santiago!
A great room - comfy, clean… the quietest on my entire Latin American trip to 4 countries. The area is safe and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was pleasant.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff.
Location was good for the Lastarria neighbourhood, the Cerro San Christabel, Cerro San Lucia and the Costanera Centre.
The room was quite dusty but it is an old property so that is maybe to be expected.

Very good
Location was good and bed was comfortable. They were happy to book our airport taxi and provided a takeaway breakfast as we were catching an early flight. The hotel has done a good job to preserve historic features of the building. Staff speak good English.
Unfortunately there were some water issues while we were there and we had no hot water one night and day. We were offered another room to shower by email but only after we had gone to sleep and didn't have time to make use of this in the morning as we were catching a tour.

The location and facilities were very appropriate.
The lack of a parking very near was not very convenient.

Because the room was very small it made it difficult where to put our luggage
31 May 2025
Highly recommend!
Rooms are very clean. We spent two nights here, the location is great because it is walking distance to many of the city’s main attractions and restaurants. It feels like a safe neighbourhood in Santiago too. The staff were super helpful and spoke English and recommended some good restaurants for us to try.
Breakfast could have had some more varieties of fresh fruit and granola :)

Very cool little hotel. Comfortable and friendly.
Such a surprise. What a great little hotel. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Great rooftop bar and pool. Not in any of the upmarket areas, but we could walk to most places and got the bus if needed.

Adorable hotel in walk from everything. Highly recommend!
What an adorable hotel! And right in the heart of it all. Breakfast was also very good. The staff were super helpful and friendly. We had to leave early and they had breakfast ready for us at 5:00AM! We were also able to store our extra luggage while we did a small side trip. The beds... AMAZING! All in all, this is a delightful hotel with wonderful staff. I would DEF stay here again!
Nothing! Great place!

Lovely room, great location, would recommend.
It's a really cool place! The staff were so helpful and really lovely. The location is really good especially as Ubers are so cheap around Santiago. We were really busy so didn't get to enjoy all of the facilities, but the roof bar gave us some amazing views.
There's no kettle or coffee machine in the rooms, but it wasn't really an issue for us with breakfast included and coffee in the restaurant. Fridge in the room could do with being colder, but these are really minor things.

Quiet comfortable pleasant hotel
Very nice boutique hotel in Santiago not far from the funicular and park and close to a plaza with nice restaurants. Very comfortable room and very friendly and extremely helpful staff . Was a great place for a very quiet stay at the end of a long cruise holiday before the flight home . Good breakfast plenty to choose from .

Fabulous architectural and historic hotel in the heart of the city. Great staff and amenities.
The staff were super friendly and helpful, breakfast was great, the bar and restaurant were fabulous, the views from the rooftop bar were fabulous and it was so nice to have that outdoor space to relax in. The location was perfect as it's very central and we have friends close. The style and history of the building was so cool, the rooms were clean, stylish and had everything we needed, including very comfortable beds and good showers, our and my mum's rooms being next to each other and with no other rooms close made her feel very safe. Having a lift was essential as we had far too much luggage and my mum couldn't do all the stairs.
The only thing I thought could be better was the lighting in the rooms. There was no bright overhead light in either room and as poor sighted oldies it made re packing our far too many bags at night and reading things if not in bed a little difficult. But that's a small complaint for a fabulous hotel.

Absolutely amazing! Great value for money!
The location of the hotel is excellent, about a 10 minute walk away from the main tourist attractions of Lastarria neighborhood. The staff was very helpful and polite. The included breakfast was very rich in options. The rooftop pool and lounging chairs were very comfortable. The rooftop bar was very reasonably priced and had good drinks. The bathroom was excellent: clean and high pressure to the water. The hotel was also decorated in a very special way with skylights that would show the long lamps that hang down to the bottom floor. We would definitely stay here again!
