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.”

Perfect stay in Santiago
Beautiful accommodation and offered early check in which was so wonderful after a long overnight flight. Delicious breakfast and really convenient location within walking distance to all the major sightseeing attractions and restaurants in Lastarria.

Super Cool Hotel! Would stay here again.
Very, very cool decor and indoor architecture. Loved it. And nice, spacious room.
We were told the breakfast opened at 7 am. But for both of our days that was not true. Sometime after 7:30. We don't know when. And the coffee wasn't really hot.

Exceptional hotel in good location
This is a fantastic hotel and I’m so delighted we stayed there. It’s in a league of its own. The service was exceptional and staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Breakfast was lovely with great yoghurts and muesli, nuts, seeds, eggs, cold cuts and bread. We had dinner at rooftop restaurant one night. Also very good. Beds large and comfortable. The building has been tastefully redesigned as a hotel with cute, intimate spaces. There’s a lolly jar and drinks in library. I liked the central location near good restaurants and museums and near the metro. What more can I say!
Couple of small things:The paper napkins, although embossed with hotel logo were cheap and very small. Loo roll not great either

Nice Comfy Modern Hotel with a Fantastic Staff
Staff was very friendly told us to try the Pisco Sour on the Rooftop Terrace Bar which we did right after arriving! It was soooo good we had several. The young musician in the bar was very talented and it was fun to see his family cheering him on. The room was large, clean and modern and the bathroom huge. They also did the nicest thing that we didn't even ask for. We had a late flight (11pm... after a 12 day cruise) and were going to leave our 6 bags of luggage at the desk for the day but they called and let us "stay" in the room! So after we walked around Santiago all day we were able to shower and organize for the flight home before the taxi arrived, that they arranged and charged to the room. Made the forlorn end to our long vacation much more pleasant. Highly Recommend!!
The closet was a bit small, mostly b/c I had a huge hanging bag. The Terrace Bar does allow smoking, but we were able to move far enough away so it worked out.

This was an oasis in Santiago with lovely staff. Great great stay.
Beautiful hotel, understated elegance but very comfortable !! Bed and bathroom excellent. The concierge was extremely helpful and I had two wonderful “high pressure” massages.
I don’t realise until the second day I could order a barista style coffee at breakfast… I should have known… but I would have appreciated an outright offer of a decent coffee first up! (Having said that there is Nespresso in the room) I had two visits to the terrace which was lovely … I think some bar snacks would be good with the excellent drinks menu!

Great stay at Hotel Magnolia in Santiago
Great hotel, centrally located. The rooms were new, clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Shower was great (just a little weird that there was no actual door separating the bathroom. It had a glass see-through door). Staff was exceptional, as was the breakfast! Nice rooftop terrace serving great food and drinks. I would definitely stay here again!

The best place to stay in Santiago
The location and the facilities are excellent. The rooftop restaurant is excellent. Our room was ready early and very clean.

A great city stay!
I really liked the Magnolia, the breakfast was good and the staff friendly. The rooms are lovely and the rooftop is great, we had cocktails and dinner on the roof and it was good value and a lovely place to sit with good views!
The breakfast coffee isn't that good, when I asked for a stronger cup I was told I could pay for a Nespresso coffee but there was no way to make it stronger - this was only a small thing.

Only stayed overnight between flights but a charming place todo that
Very unusual design with great ambiance and combination of old style and modern elements Excellent restaurant Excellent location close to gardens and restaurants Good breakfast Only 20 minutes from airport

Super stylish Art Deco hotel in Central Santiago with a roof terrace.
Hotel Magnolia is just beautiful - so tastefully designed with a pared back, curated Art Deco feel. The bedrooms are cool and spacious and, once again, exquisitely designed. Your balcony is very private with a good amount of foliage separating you from your neighbours and it's great to just watch Santiago from up high including towards the San Cristobal Park. The room has a fridge and a selection of snacks and drinks on sale. The lovely bathroom offers gorgeous toiletries. There's a real laid back feel about the place but it's worth wandering around to see some the public rooms - stunning. The roof top bar is lovely too with a seating area for food and then cushioned area to relax with drinks. It's not open terribly late though so if you're hoping for a late night cap then it will be on your own balcony. Breakfast is served downstairs and there is also champagne on offer although we didn't partake. I'm wishing now that we had started the day with a Mimosa!
The noisy fans on the terrace! It was like sitting behind a 747 although staff did turn them off on request. The 'whipped' butter at breakfast - maybe it was for American tastes though as most of the other guests seemed to be from the USA. Us Brits like salty, sold butter!
