Hotel Magnolia, Santiago de Chile
Expert reviews
“This 42-room property opened in October 2016 to rave reviews. It ingeniously intertwines old and new as chequered tiles, marble staircases and reconstructed stained-glass windows appear alongside ultramodern light fixtures, geometric furnishings and vertigo-inducing glass floors.”
“No two rooms are exactly alike at this artfully designed boutique hotel, which masterfully intertwines old and new within the confines of a restored 1920s office building. Checkered tiles, marble staircases and stained-glass windows.”
“A grand historic house just steps from the old town. Santiago’s first urban design hotel combines sleek modern elements with its Neo-Gothic heritage. A black-and-white marble entrance and exposed brick walls are juxtaposed with an industrial-style suspended metal staircase, a bronze reception desk and potted magnolias.”

This delightful, comfy, artsy hotel is the perfect place to stay in Santiago. The beds are fabulous, the breakfast even better, and the staff excellent, helpful and friendly. We loved the rooftop bar and their yummy food and delicious cocktails too. It’s such a beautiful hotel with a new delight around every corner.

Good hotel in the city center (Service could be better)
The hotel, rooms and roof terrace are very stylishly designed. From the roof terrace (open from midday until late evening), you have a beautiful view of the castle hill. The food in the rooftop restaurant is creative and delicious. The breakfast buffet is relatively varied and tasty. The breakfast room is on the ground floor and does not have floor-to-ceiling windows, but it is still cosy. The location is very central, yet the rooms are very quiet (very well insulated).
It was difficult to impossible to get personalised (non-automated) answers from staff to questions such as airport shuttle, massage appointments, and restaurant reservations. We only received a response to the latter (after repeating our requests via Booking.com, WhatsApp, email, and finally a phone call). The other questions were not answered, despite the promise on the phone to answer all questions by email... The shower does not drain well and quickly floods the hallway. The rooftop restaurant had hardly any fish in stock, even though we had made a reservation (including a note specifically about the fish selection) and even though the hotel's second restaurant was closed that day.

This is a truly excellent hotel.
This is a truly excellent hotel. Within an old building, it has been converted to a chic, cool, modern hotel with all the facilities you would expect for the (not cheap) rate of c. £200pn. The room was of adequate size, spotlessly clean with a big shower room and a huge bed; all the staff were great, going the "extra mile" to make the stay an experience to remember. Breakfast was excellent - very good quality and lots of choice. And it's in the good part of town; we walked everywhere and particularly enjoyed the big, big markets.

Excellent food, quaint boutique hotel in the heart of Santiago downtown.
Breakfast and food in general were excellent
Initially, I had issues with the allocated room; the A/C was noisy, and the room was tiny. We had to change rooms the next day

A classy hotel
It is a classy, beautiful place. The room is spacious and clean. It’s in downtown and within walking distance to many attractions, supermarkets/stores and restaurants. Feeling safe in the area. We felt welcomed the moment we got off the cab front of the hotel. Breakfast was great - eggs are made to order and enough choices and variety to kick start the day. The staff were friendly. They spoke good English. Would definitely come again when visiting Santiago again

Modern comfort in historic Santiago
Gorgeous, recently renovated building with character. Beautiful, clean rooms. Free wine bar. We are so glad we stayed here. The service was impeccable and the breakfast was delicious. Located very centrally in a safe and bustling part of Santiago. When we told them we were leaving early (before breakfast), Raul had the kitchen make us breakfast to go. Don’t hesitate, stay at Hotel Magnolia.

Best romantic boutique hotel in Santiago, what a surprise!
This is a gorgeous boutique hotel in the middle of the city (which may not be for everyone). We had an awesome time in the old part of the building, beautifully renovated and tastefully appointed with unique and beautiful decor. Staff were brilliant and exceptionally helpful.
The only negative point could be location. We did not venture out during the evening/night, as it felt not quite conducive to exploring.
