The Singular Santiago

This urban retreat created by the owners of Singular Patagonia is a sophisticated yet bohemian option in Santiago’s leafy Lastarria neighborhood.

• The proximity to local cafés and restaurants as well as Parque Forestal, the Plaza del Armas and the Contemporary and Fine Arts Museums
• The rooftop pool and bar overlooking the city

Opened in 2014, this luxury hotel is an oasis in the heart of Chile’s capital. Its exterior may be unassuming—according to Chilean law, any construction in the area must abide by strict stylistic rules—but whatever the façade lacks is made up for by its elegant, spacious and bright interiors. Blending classic with contemporary design, the 62 guest rooms are warm and inviting, featuring a muted palette of creams and greys. A few of the rooms have balconies, with the higher floor options offering a view.

The rooftop terrace has a large wooden bar, outdoor pool and views over the city and draws a local, post-work crowd. The restaurant has a relaxed vibe despite its sparkling chandeliers and bow-tied servers and serves seasonal Chilean dishes alongside an impressive wine list that features labels from within the country. Breakfast is cooked to order, and, in the summer months, can be enjoyed in the outdoor courtyard space, which acts as a casual dining area. The 3,300-square-foot subterranean spa offers specialty chakra treatments centered on balancing physical, mental, and spiritual harmony.

Guests, including families, looking for a boutique option who want to be in a central location.
