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 perfect start to our time in South America

A fantastic hotel in a perfect location for exploring the city. The top floor terrace is a lovely space for a late afternoon drink or late dinner. Breakfast was excellent, the deluxe room as spacious with a very comfortable bed. Highly recommended

Gorgeous hotel! Design is impeccable, rooms are spacious and really comfortable, beds are huge. Just all around a very thoughtfully designed and executed hotel!

Location is so so, it’s very central but not on the nicest street. But you can get around really easily so it’s not an issue at all!

Thank you, we had a wonderful stay and will highly recommended, our friends that are coming with way to also come and st

The exterior was old world charm and was very appealing! The front desk area continued in the same vain, but once you went up stairs it was modern with glass and clean lines. The Roof top bar was beautiful present with views to the Virgin Mary on the hill and on the first day a mountain top covered with snow! Staff from the front door to the concierge were outstanding, with excellent suggestions for restaurants to sightseeing that were considered a must!

Fabulous

Fernando was great. The rooms are lovely. We misunderstood the “spa and wellness centre” - this is a room that pre booked massages take place although there is a gym too.

The concierge service was hard work, trying to book tours or New Year’s Eve dinner or get information before or while we were there took multiple attempts. Fernando on the front desk however was effective once we raised it with him but really didn’t understand why we weren’t getting responses despite trying the same message through all channels - on email, WhatsApp or through booking

Fabulous stay in Santiago!

Where to start!? From the moment we walked into the elegant entrance…. They just do it right. Bar, restaurants, fantastic attentive staff that will make sure you have everything you could want or need. Nice exercise room, amazing front lounge area with gratis bubbles and one of the best carmenere’s we’ve ever had. The entire hotel is very chic and has fantastic design elements and decor. Loved the beds, lighting, great bathrooms with iced glass doors to the toilet. Plenty of storage, closets and lots of surfaces to put all of your things. They have taken notes! Breakfast was great and the breakfast space felt like a chic restaurant. One of my favorite places I’ve stayed in a while…. Well done!

You checked all the boxes. What a great hotel! My only critic is that the afternoon staff at the terrace could use some training in good hospitality. We had lunch there and the service was just ok. Food was great. Drinks were great. Ambiance and design were phenomenal. Staff was sub par and we kept having to go to the bar to ask for more drinks or food. Not terrible just not in line with the rest of their incredible hotel Staff. It felt disconnected like maybe different management.

Nice artsy hotel in downtown area with great breakfast, excellent rooftop terrace bar and short walk to downtown attract

Nicely done interior furnishings. Very good breakfast. Welcoming lobby. Very nice rooftop terrace bar and restaurant with nice views, a nice breeze and good food/drinks.

While the location is in downtown and a short walk to museums and the park, there is the potential for crime and we were told by several people not to go out walking around the area at night.

Very beautiful hotel but not

Hotel looks amazing. Interiors are stunning and outside the facade is very attractive. Rooms really spacious and stylish . Super comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Staff at the counter able to speak good English.

Very noisy room even with ear plugs supplied. We asked for a quiet one. Ended up at level 2 on main road. Porter not professional with tips issues. Area not super safe after dusk and nothing interesting near by. Expensive overall for the experience but the hotel is beautiful

Not 5* hotel, maybe 4.

The hotel design is very nice, the breakfast very good, the location is close to the center.

The bathroom was very inconvenient from privacy point of view- it is only made of glass, 80% transparent the doors, 2-3 cm remain full open on the side; and the toilet door is located 1m from the edge of the bed. Very, very, very uncomfortable. The room much smaller than it was supposed to be. No accessories in the room - no napkins, no toiletries. Not a 5* hotel.

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.
