Hotel Magnolia, Santiago de Chile

Huérfanos 539, Santiago de Chile, Santiago, Región Metropolitana, Chile (show on map)

Expert reviews

The Guardian review:

“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.”

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

All you need to know

Hotel Magnolia, located in historic downtown Santiago de Chile is a great renovation of a 1929 mansion. It is a re-envisioned model is that of the city’s past fused with modern luxury. The hotel is only a few minutes’ walk away from the national art gallery, Bellas Artes, Museo Arte de Luz, Santiago Town Square, Palacio de la Moneda and Plaza de la Constitucion. The “cozy refuge of calm and restfulness” is situated at the foot of the Cerro Santa Lucia hilltop park and is the first urban design hotel of its kind with neo-gothic heritage.

Featuring a black and white marble entrance with a suspended metal staircase and bronze reception desk, the hotel wows guests as soon as they come through the front doors and the wow factor is only magnified every step further in. Stained-glass windows featuring the coats of arms, heavy wooden doors, modern geometric light fittings and glass walkways… All of the features and more make this hotel one of the best.

All of the soundproof rooms are furnished with extra-long beds, a private bathroom, minibar, coffee machine, a flat-screen cable TV, safety-deposit box and more. The hotel has a library for quiet reading time and a terrace for relaxing and enjoying the scenic views of the Chilean landscape. This hotel definitely delivers value for money with a stay.

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.

Perfect boutique hotel near the old town

Impeccable design and conservation of the spaces ; the young staff members at the reception; the affable doorman ; the breakfast and dinner ; the location

would be ideal to have a bidet, and two wash-hand basins instead of one

The facility was very good overall and we would consider returning.

Excellent breakfast and the hotel is an amazing work of artistic archetecture. Would like to come back. Bellhop was really good. Was diligent with getting taxi and taking care of informing etc. Really did an outstanding job of customer service and follow through.

Front desk at night was inexperienced and failed to call back on our request for a billing question called about from room. Went to desk and she apologized for forgetting about calling back as she indicated she would.

Sophistication at a reasonable price

Front desk staff was amazing. Randi, Paul, actually all of the staff were terrific. Very helpful, friendly, polite, and extending. Even the doormen were great. Hotel has a sophisticated, boutique vibe. Very striking architectural details were prevalent throughout the property. Room and bed were very comfortable. No view at all, but plenty of exterior light. Bathroom was spacious and well stocked with plenty of fresh towels. Rooftop restaurant and bar were inviting and food was excellent. There was a complementary open bar in lobby area that was nice for grabbing a cordial on the way up to our room. Complimentary breakfast was served in a very comfy well decorated room. Lots of fresh choices and eggs to order. The Eggs Benedict were excellent.

No drawers in room but nice closets.

Very good

Lovely boutique hotel with hard working, friendly staff

At checkout despite having tourist exemption tax free the hotel still wanted to charge the tourist tax fee if we paid using a debit card. This was not expected or explained by them at any stage until checkout. Many other hotels did not charge this fee. Apparently the charge was passed on to the customer because we used bookings and did not book direct with the hotel. Yet if we paid by credit card we were exempt from the tourist tax. Very disappointing by the hotel to enforce the tourist tax fee when other hotels waved it for international travellers.

Enjoyable, well located, 5-start to get to know Santiago

We particularly liked the rooftop patio and bar, where we had a very good dinner one evening. The breakfast buffet & service were also excellent in the mornings in the indoor restaurant space on the ground floor. The rooftop also proved to be an excellent place to retreat from the very hot (30C+) days for a late afternoon/early evening drink--typically a very refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail--before dinner elsewhere. In other respects the hotel lives up to its 5-start rating, and is very well located for many central city sites. But be aware that this area of downtown can be somewhat unsafe at night, or so we were warned by multiple locals, and the streets appeared relatively empty in the evenings. When traveling to several of the best Santiago restaurants that were typically not nearby we followed local advice and took Ubers without any problems.

Our only minor issue was that the lighting was rather dim in our room, and there were not enough hooks in the bathroom for toilet bags and robes. But these two issues seem to be true of many modern, upscale hotels.
