Hotel Magnolia Santiago
A design hotel steps from Santa Lucía Hill
About this hotel
Hotel Magnolia Santiago works a heritage-preserved mansion into a design hotel, with extra-long beds, minibars and safes in rooms that mix period details with modern comforts. Its terrace and bar sit alongside a restaurant and a library, giving guests several places to settle in without leaving the building, and Lastarria's cafés and galleries start right outside the door. Santa Lucía Hill, where Santiago was founded, is close enough to reach on foot, and the panoramic views from its summit are the closest thing to a rooftop payoff this property offers. Chile's National Museum of Fine Arts sits 400 meters away, putting the mansion at the center of the city's most walkable culture stretch.

Our take
Hotel Magnolia suits design-minded travelers who want a heritage mansion in Santiago's most walkable culture district, steps from Lastarria and Santa Lucía Hill. It's a strong pick for couples who'll actually climb the hill for the panoramic view. Anyone wanting a rooftop pool or a business-district base should book elsewhere in the city.
- ✓Climb Santa Lucía Hill in late afternoon for the panoramic view before the light fades.
- ✓Book a table at the on-site restaurant before exploring Lastarria's other dining options.
- ✓Visit the National Museum of Fine Arts first; it's a 400-metre walk from the hotel.

Why guests love itWe walked up Santa Lucía Hill on our first evening and the panoramic view sold us on the location before we'd even unpacked. The mansion itself felt more like staying somewhere with history than a standard hotel, and having the library and terrace on site meant we didn't rush out every evening. Lastarria's cafés filled the rest. It's not flashy, but the restaurant & bar made the difference by the end of the stay.
