Matildas Hotel Boutique
A restored palace facing Brasil Square
About this hotel
Matildas Hotel Boutique gets its character from the building rather than a rooftop feature: a refurbished Patrimonial Palace one block from Brasil Square, with a garden and a terrace that guests use between exploring the surrounding Yungay heritage district. Rooms are spacious and bright, with cable TV and en-suite bathrooms, and daily breakfast is folded into the rate rather than sold separately. The property sits four blocks from Cumming Subway Station and seven from República, putting most of downtown Santiago within an easy metro ride. The terrace and garden give the palace a courtyard feel rare in a neighborhood built mostly around dense city blocks, a reason on its own to choose the address over a plainer downtown hotel.

Our take
Matildas Hotel Boutique suits travelers who want heritage architecture and a garden terrace in a walkable, metro-connected neighborhood, more than anyone chasing a rooftop bar. It's a strong pick for couples who value character over amenities. Guests wanting a modern tower or a lively nightlife scene should book closer to Providencia or Las Condes instead.
- ✓Book a room facing the garden if you want a quieter night away from Brasil Square traffic.
- ✓Walk the Yungay heritage streets around the hotel before the afternoon heat sets in.
- ✓Use Cumming Subway Station, four blocks off, rather than a taxi for downtown trips.

Why guests love itWe booked Matildas for the building itself, and the garden terrace turned out to be the nicest surprise, a quiet courtyard right off Brasil Square where we had coffee most mornings before walking the Yungay streets. The room was simple but bright, and the metro access made downtown trips easy without a car. The heritage building is what we'd come back for.
