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.”

Beautiful hotel, nice enough staff, great room and breakfast. Bathroom was a downside and the WiFi too.
Very beautiful property. The bed was really comfortable and the breakfast was spectacular.
The shower cubicle did not close all the way, so anyway taking a shower would wet all the bathroom, which was really annoying

Great location and lovely boutique hotel.
The staff was fabulous. The breakfast was great. Dinner was delicious & they had a very talented singer on Friday night. The room was spotless. The TV had a million channels. There was a Nespresso machine and teapot.

Excellent hotel with real character and great location
Really well located for bars restaurants cafes and the Plaza de Armas. This hotel is so interesting , beautifully designed with nice spacious rooms . The staff are so friendly and helpful and really do everything possible to ensure you have a good stay. Breakfast is beautifully presented in an atrium style dining area . There is a lounge area to sit and browse an array of books with a free glass of fizz early evening. We enjoyed dinner on the roof terrace. When we had early starts the kitchen provided us with a packed breakfast and also organised pick up from the airport and back to the airport, as we used the hotel as abase between trips to Atacama Desert and Easter Island .
There is nothing to dislike or complain about. We’ve booked to stay here again in March 2025

Comfort hotel - lovely old building. Great staff.
Lovely old building. Lots of character. Great breakfasts. Very helpful staff.
Possibly would stay in a different part of the city if we return. Location is very convenient for “downtown” and many tourist sites but few restaurants close by.

Would absolutely recommend this hotel -luxury hotel and great value
Wonderful hotel. Very clean, comfortable bed, friendly staff. Gym was also nice. And the Terrace restaurant has really good food and great cocktails. They were also kind enough to give me a late checkout, and helped with directions and activities.

Was so good we stayed again during trip
Lovely boutique property, well located and with friendly, helpful staff.
The room was a bit noisy on the first night but the staff were quick to move us. Some of the hospitality staff were not quite 5 star.

The service was exceptional because the people in all positions at the hotel are sincerely friendly. It's obvious that they care and take pride in their work. The breakfast was phenomenal. We ate in the restaurant as well as the terrace and both had delicious food.
Milk in the mini bar for the coffee upon request would a nice add.

Stylish surroundings for sleeping and eating.
It was a wonderful hotel: perfect location to see the center of Santiago, the architecture of the public spaces and rooms was striking, the food was fantastic (I had salmon tartar that was out of this world), the staff was so friendly and helpful. It was great deal; I can imagine paying a lot more for what the hotel offers. Would definitely stay there again when in Santiago.
Nothing. Well, that I could not stay there longer!!😀

Structurally beautiful hotel but breakfast could be better
Location, beautiful renovated building, clean, large rooms, kettle in the room was welcome. Fridge useful. Good sound proofing
Breakfast should have been better for a hotel at this level. No obvious process. Limited service. Had to make own tea and coffee. Average food. Need to leave more water in the room, bottles hopelessly small. Felt staff lacked a little energy (with exception of concierge).

A luxurious & stylish hotel with stunning service in a great location
The overall ambience, decor and service here were impeccable. We booked this hotel as a treat within 2 weeks of busy travelling in South America and it was exactly what we needed. The reception staff were incredible helpful, the room super comfortable and stylish, the rooftop bar was stunning too!

Loved this hotel, will absolutely book again
Beautiful property with staff that go above and beyond.
The hotel is boarding a neighborhood that felt unsafe for tourists. Walk a block one direction and there’s wonderful shops, restaurants and parks. Walk a block in the opposite direction and be very alert for theft.
