Luciano K, Santiago de Chile
Expert reviews
“This new high-design hotel occupies seven floors of a 1920s-era building that was once the tallest in Santiago with the city’s first lift (it’s still in use!). The rooftop claims a trendy bar (with mesmerizing floor tiles) and a pool big enough to fit a small family.”
“Well located, perched between Plaza Italia, Santiago’s main transportation hub and the Bellas Artes corridor, this hotel was built into one of Santiago’s finest examples of Art Deco architecture, a building that dates back to 1928 and still retains much of its original charm, including the first functioning elevator in the country.”
“Luciano K, once the tallest building in Santiago, is an Art Deco building just steps from one of Santiago’s top gastronomic neighbourhoods. Now it is home to 38 elegant rooms topped by a quirky roof terrace and bar serving up park views and heady pisco sours.”

A good value in a great location.
The hotel provided a great buffet breakfast and on the morning we were checking out, they provided a nice plate of breakfast items for us to eat early before the start time for the buffet. Very accommodating of our early check out!
Bathroom could have been less worn out, update old fixtures and flooring. An electronic device went missing during our stay. Not sure how or when. Possibly on first day when our luggage was being held prior to check in.

Interior a little tired, in need of some redecorating Bedrooms are internal so windows look into internal light wells, not externally

Great Art Deco hotel; the roof top bar and tapas served there is amazing and worth staying here for
Lovely Art Deco hotel - fantastic architecture. A very warm welcome from the receptionist who was hugely helpful (as were his colleagues throughout my stay); they even leant me electrical socket converters as mine did not fit. The roof top bar is the absolute highlight of this place - great bar, fantastic tapas food, lovely views and atmosphere; for me it was the perfect way to end my 5.5 week tour in Chile and Argentina. Great location with good restaurants and bars nearby. Huge and very comfortable bed.
Decor, while fantastic, is a little tired. My room had a view of an internal shaft and no outdoors view - check this on booking. The shower was difficult to control for temperature. The breakfast was not very good.

ideally located, good value for money, everything you need for a city break and comfortable beds
ideally located for what we had planned, staff were lovely, rooms were ready for us when we arrived early, quirky lift, great for a city location and rooms faced inwards into a atrium so no noise from traffic

We had a nice stay here. Rooftop pool is small but we never had to share it with anyone. Rooms are good side and clean.
Good location and has a pool.
A little dated from the pictures but didn’t really bother us.

Great location, lovely staff and trendy hotel and rooftop bar
Such a great location! It’s got a lovely rooftop bar (snd plunge pool we didn’t use). Staff are very lovely and helpful, and speak excellent English which was helpful as not many people do.
We stayed twice in the same trip as the area is brilliant but we noted that they weren’t as clean as other places we stayed. The beds were clean, but the floors and surfaces were dirty. We did a quick wipe of the surfaces but obviously didn’t want to spend time cleaning the floor do wore the slippers they provided so all worked out fine.

Brilliant location for Bellavista and Lastarria. Unique charm/ style. Go for a room at the front.
We liked the quirky charm of the hotel, the rooftop terrace and bar, the friendly, helpful staff and the location - easy to walk to the restaurants, bars and galleries of both Bellavista and Lastarria; nice to have Parque Forestal just opposite. We were glad that we'd asked for a room at the front with a view. This proved to be very much worth the extra money/ upgrade. Breakfasts were good too.
Some smartening up is definitely needed to the entrance, lobby and roof terrace area. Upgrading some of the furniture and planting would make a big difference to overall impressions - for very little outlay. The images/ marketing on their website suggests something much grander/ more boutique.

Historic gem in need of love
The location was great and the architecture of the building is outstanding. Close to nice bars and restaurants.
The breakfast was average. The upholstery particularly in the communal areas was clearly once very nice but now was a little tired.

Overall great rooftop hotel with a wonderful staff. Just need to be careful in the city.
The rooftop was absolutely fabulous; food was great; the staff was very helpful and friendly.
The location was close to lastarria (which was good), but overall a little sketchy for two female travelers.

Fun place for a couple of nights in Santiago
Location very handy for Metro and easy walking distance to Cerro St Lucia and Plaza de Armies. 5 min walk to some good restaurants. Breakfast quite adequate. Great decor and nice rooftop bar and snack type dining.

Classic hotel with classic styling...go there!
Classic hotel with history. Smart decor and smart rooms. Nice and cool with the Aircon. Good bathroom facilities too. Breakfast was just right for me, not too much and staff always around to help out. English speaking staff too so if you're Spanish Portugese is weak then there is no problem. Super simple with payment over booking.com
Could do with being a little cleaner, the Aircon vents for example could do with a wipe. The room I had does not have an outside view so if you want to see the outside world then call the hotel to make sure you get want you want.

Great historical building .
Very friendly staff ! I asked for a change in a booking and that went very well. It s a stylish old building with a metal cage elevator , I like the elevator.
The roof top terrace doesn’t have the vibe (anymore) that is shown on the pictures. It s a bit ‘run down’ at the moment.
