Luciano K, Santiago de Chile

Merced 84, Downtown, 8000000 Santiago, Chile. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Fodors review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

Highly recommend!

Rooms are very clean. We spent two nights here, the location is great because it is walking distance to many of the city’s main attractions and restaurants. It feels like a safe neighbourhood in Santiago too. The staff were super helpful and spoke English and recommended some good restaurants for us to try.

Breakfast could have had some more varieties of fresh fruit and granola :)

Very cool little hotel. Comfortable and friendly.

Such a surprise. What a great little hotel. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Great rooftop bar and pool. Not in any of the upmarket areas, but we could walk to most places and got the bus if needed.

Adorable hotel in walk from everything. Highly recommend!

What an adorable hotel! And right in the heart of it all. Breakfast was also very good. The staff were super helpful and friendly. We had to leave early and they had breakfast ready for us at 5:00AM! We were also able to store our extra luggage while we did a small side trip. The beds... AMAZING! All in all, this is a delightful hotel with wonderful staff. I would DEF stay here again!

Nothing! Great place!

Lovely room, great location, would recommend.

It's a really cool place! The staff were so helpful and really lovely. The location is really good especially as Ubers are so cheap around Santiago. We were really busy so didn't get to enjoy all of the facilities, but the roof bar gave us some amazing views.

There's no kettle or coffee machine in the rooms, but it wasn't really an issue for us with breakfast included and coffee in the restaurant. Fridge in the room could do with being colder, but these are really minor things.

Quiet comfortable pleasant hotel

Very nice boutique hotel in Santiago not far from the funicular and park and close to a plaza with nice restaurants. Very comfortable room and very friendly and extremely helpful staff . Was a great place for a very quiet stay at the end of a long cruise holiday before the flight home . Good breakfast plenty to choose from .

Fabulous architectural and historic hotel in the heart of the city. Great staff and amenities.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, breakfast was great, the bar and restaurant were fabulous, the views from the rooftop bar were fabulous and it was so nice to have that outdoor space to relax in. The location was perfect as it's very central and we have friends close. The style and history of the building was so cool, the rooms were clean, stylish and had everything we needed, including very comfortable beds and good showers, our and my mum's rooms being next to each other and with no other rooms close made her feel very safe. Having a lift was essential as we had far too much luggage and my mum couldn't do all the stairs.

The only thing I thought could be better was the lighting in the rooms. There was no bright overhead light in either room and as poor sighted oldies it made re packing our far too many bags at night and reading things if not in bed a little difficult. But that's a small complaint for a fabulous hotel.

Absolutely amazing! Great value for money!

The location of the hotel is excellent, about a 10 minute walk away from the main tourist attractions of Lastarria neighborhood. The staff was very helpful and polite. The included breakfast was very rich in options. The rooftop pool and lounging chairs were very comfortable. The rooftop bar was very reasonably priced and had good drinks. The bathroom was excellent: clean and high pressure to the water. The hotel was also decorated in a very special way with skylights that would show the long lamps that hang down to the bottom floor. We would definitely stay here again!

Well decorated, needs complimentary early check in

The employees were so nice. The hotel is very well decorated. It is in the middle of downtown, so during the day it’s lovely to walk around. At night we were told to use Uber.

You have to pay extra for early checkin even if your room is ready. This hotel is the same price as some of the bigger 5 star hotel chains, but they have very strict policies on early checkin which I didn’t love. The walls are also quite thin.

Stylish boutique hotel in good location. Able to walk to so many places of interest

Great little boutique hotel well positioned for walking to so many places of interest.Really lovely breakfast and we loved the upstairs bar area with splash pool and fabulous sunset views from the stylish space. Rooms really comfortable and quiet. would definitely stay again (have been twice now). We organised a private driver to take us to one of the wineries about 45 mins drive - Santa Rita winery was wonderful for a half day trip and we thoroughly recommend this as a nice option if you want to be a little closer to the beautiful Andes mountains and see the countryside and enjoy some great wines in a historic location.

Architecturally significant hotel but needs a bit of tlc

Could be amazing but lacking in some areas. Simple things like hanging the curtains properly on the hooks so the room looks smarter would be a start. Our superior room was small but appreciate that it is a historic gem. Love the original interior tiles and art deco design features. Felt the roof bar was lacking and breakfast could be better.

An absolutely fabulous two nights in the hotel in Santiago

It’s absolutely charming and the staff were so very helpful. Including arranging a transfer from the airport and an onward transport to the port to join a cruise ship. The hotel is full of personality and is just absolutely delightful The food in the restaurant was exceptionally good and so was the breakfast

Although we had asked for an early check-in which was subject to provide ability, we had to wait for a room to be made available. If I had known that was going to be the case I would have booked the night before to guarantee early check-in on arrival. That would’ve been very cost-effective because the hotel is not particularly expensive

A beautiful building and place to experience the best of Santiago from

Beautiful art deco building in a great location close to Lastarria and Cerro Santa Lucia. Great views from the rooftop. Loved the water and chocolates supplied when we arrived and the bed was very comfortable and great for sleeping as dark in the rooms.

Shower sprays water on to the floors and it is very hard to avoid. Towels were very thin. Breakfast pastries were dry and old.

Great 48 hours base for the city of Santiago if you don’t want big chain hotel feel.

Well positioned in the city. Close to the bohemian quarter and easy walking distance to the funicular and cable car attraction . Staff were helpful on requests . Roof top bar had relaxed and safe vibe at night for easy supper if wanting to eat in .

The hotel entrance area is a little tired to say the least. Coffee at breakfast could be improved for todays standards of a reasonable cup of coffee .

Comfortable rooms and okay location, but slightly overpriced overall

The location is good.. it’s about a 8-10 min walk to cute restaurants and shops in Lastarria area. The room was small but comfortable and had everything we needed. Very lovely decor in the rooms. The breakfast was the best we had in 2 weeks!

I think the photos of this place make it look a lot nicer than it is… the first thing I noticed was that the beautiful tiled floors and walls did not seem clean anywhere in the hotel, which made everything feel slightly dirty. The rooftop bar area also felt a little dingy, dirty and hot when we went at 4pm, maybe it’s better seeing it in the nighttime!
