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.”

Cool comfortable base in Santiago

Nice hotel. Breakfast was the best we’d had in 2 weeks in Chile, rooms comfortable and nicely decorated. Rooftop area is nice but the pool is tiny and freezing! Hotel is well located for good neighbourhood for dinner

Needs a kettle or coffee machine in the room, or at least a place to get tea/coffee any time of day

Nice location, decent value for money.

Great location and good size of the room. Very friendly stuff and good breakfast.

Cleaning is something which could be improved - we found items from previous guests in the room. The room did not have the externally facing window so it was a bit dark.

It’s not surprising that the hotel gets repeat visitors, just as I will use it again

Staff really do treat guests interests and experiences as the most important thing. They are very helpful and friendly, and also committed to guests having an enjoyable experience. Staff also provided plenty of suggestions of good restaurants, attractions, and tours. They genuinely care, which is the most important thing. On two occasions I had to make a very early start, at 5am, to go into the Andes, and the staff ensured I was able to have a good breakfast before leaving and they waited with me outside until my coach arrived to ensure that I would be ok. There was a very friendly vibe in the hotel, and positive interactions between guests. With a variety of nationalities, including English and European, Americans, Australians all mixing together, conversations were always stimulating and friendly. The location was excellent - only a couple of minutes to the Barrio Listarria precinct, and close to all significant attractions. The hotel represented very good value.

No real issues. The hotel is about a century old, and art deco in a very distinctive style that is seen in a few buildings in the area. Some things may require maintenance as a result of time, but none of these issues dampen the experience.

Good value & Unique Stay

The design of the building was phenomenal. The color of the building, the tiles, the original elevator were all excellent. The support team were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was adequate.

The hotel really needs a proper cleaning. My socks were filthy from walking on the floor in the room, the vents were noticeably dirty. The outdoor signage was hard to spot when we arrived at night.

Santiago is a very mix bag so areas are amazing and super safe, others a bit run down, the further east you go the bette

We liked the enormous bed, how clean it was, the quirky features, the staff were excellent and of course the rooftop bar so cool.

Bellavista isn't a safe area at night, which is why I chose that area, I had no idea until I spoke to the locals, So we always got back before then. Our hotel security was amazing.

The hotel is quirky and cute! You can’t hear outside noises in the room, which is good because the hotel is very central so there is a lot of traffic on nearby streets.

Quite a nice few days.

We liked the 1930’s style building and the old lift.

The bar and restaurant were only open on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We arrived on a Sunday and stayed for 4 nights so they were only open for our last day.

Stunning well positioned art deco hotel

The location was great just 15 minutes walk from the Plaza de Armas, 10 minutes walk from the gallery. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Rooms were beautiful and well-fitted out. Great wifi. The restaurant food was delicious and well priced.

The historic lift is a beautiful feature of the hotel but people forget to close the gate and it then gets stuck where they left it. The restaurant was only on the rooftop which was cold in the evening.

A place to remember

This hotel is a piece of art and heritage. A nice way to turn something old into something new while respecting it's original characteristics. So, the building itself has its own history. On top of that the staff was very helpful and kind, the breakfast offered a variety of products and the room always clean.

The location is not very attractive although it has some advantages given the proximity to the center and public means of transportation.

Rooms with character at a great location.

The first room 404 had no view, the second room 302 had aview on the park / fountain. The layout of the second room was also nicer with beautiful wooden floors. Location is great, walking distance from most highlights in the city.

Front door is closed and you need to ring the bell to enter. Room was available at 2PM, which was a bit late for a flight that arrived at 7 AM.

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.

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.

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.
