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.”

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.

Great for a romantic trip

Excellent welcome. The most amazing room with plenty of space. Breakfast was delicious and the breakfast room was unique. We used the rooftop bar for both a dinner and a drink before we left. It had a great view of Santa Lucia hill

There was no pool

Beautiful and well staffed boutique hotel, rough neighborhood

Outstanding staff. Very comfortable bed. Great interior design.

TV had poor resolution and jumpy screen. Neighborhood is historic but dicey with homeless, panhandlers, and street thieves.

Excellent hotel in a great location.

We had a very nice stay at the Magnolia Hotel and we were not disappointed with what we found. The location is ideal for a short stay in Santiago with the park nearby..(avoid Mondays as closed and we were also unlucky the funicular to the zoo was closed). Reception staff were very helpful. We had arrived early in the day and they were able to have our room available ahead of the regular check in time. Food was good on the Terrace and with warm weather is a pleasant place to spend an evening. Breakfast was excellent. Room was spotless and quiet.

Our only disappointment was that we were surprised to find that if we wanted to pay in local Pesos a 19% ‘tax’ would apply. Also we had them arrange a car to take us to the airport at 8:30 and at 8:15 the maid was ‘demanding’ to clean our room. I can only assume she was seeking her ‘tip’ but did appear rude (and intimidating).

Wonderful staff, stylish accommodation, perfect location!

Our flight was delayed and we got in really late, the staff kept the restaurant open past closing so we could eat! Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous boutique hotel

Wonderfully designed boutique hotel with extremely helpful staff. The Pisco sours at the terrace were great. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The location is great, right across the street from Cerro Santa Lucia, and just a few blocks from Plaza de Armas. About a mile walk to Cerro San Cristobal. The neighborhood may not be the best at night, but the staff are always on the lookout for your well being!

Limited dinner options due to special menus for Dec 31 and Jan 1, but that was related to the days we were staying there. Usually, they do have a more extensive menu.

Little gem in downtown Santiago

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to discover downtown Santiago. The hotel is in a quiet street next to the Santa Lucía hill, very close to the busy downtown area but away from the noise and chaos. The hotel has been beautifully carved into one or two old buildings with Art Nouveau details, and is very tastefully decorated. The room was comfortable, the terrace lovely, the restaurant excellent, and the staff very helpful. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the Lastarria neighborhood, which has several trendy restaurants.

A minor detail: my room was on the second floor and directly above the restaurant or kitchen, so it could be a bit noisy at times. Downtown Santiago can also be a bit dangerous, especially at night, but nothing to be concerned about if you take the proper precautions.

Wonderful.

The most comfortable bed!! Coffee maker in room- the only one we found in Chile 👌🏻 Beautiful breakfast room, with the best breakfast! The terrace bar, with views over the old city, and the best local G&Ts ! Fabulous.

A pool/spa would have been the icing on the cake- but understandably, space at a premium.

The BEST place to stay if you’re looking for a boutique hotel in the older part of Santiago.

Absolutely gorgeous little boutique hotel! Great breakfast buffet was included in our stay, and the beds and pillows were very confy. Fabulous staff…authentically helpful, kind, friendly and super responsive. They gladly accommodated our early check-in after a long overnight flight. We had phenomenal experiences with everyone - from the doormen to the concierge to the front desk team to the breakfast servers to the housekeepers. Beautiful, cozy spaces within the first floor of the hotel to have a drink, read or hang out. We really enjoyed the people and the space!

The location was a bit of an issue. I thought it would be nice to stay near the historic district of the city, but didn’t realize til we got there that the area is slightly sketchy and somewhat run down. The Magnolia Hotel is a unequalled gem in this area. We also had some traffic noises, but the hotel gives you ear plugs. The only design aspect about the hotel that we had an issue with was the lack of privacy with the bathroom and toilet . . . It would be nice to have a door to shut to the bathroom so that you don’t wake up your partner in the middle of the night. Otherwise nothing but nice things to say!
