Where to Stay in Santiago

More about staying in Santiago

Choosing the right neighborhood in Santiago is key to enjoying the city, as the capital is vast and diverse. Fortunately, the city features an extensive and highly efficient Metro system that makes navigating between the different districts safe and simple.

For luxury travelers and business professionals, the modern neighborhoods of Las Condes and Providencia are top choices. Often referred to as "Sanhattan", these upscale areas offer high-end hotels, excellent shopping malls like Costanera Center, and top-tier international dining.

If you prefer a more bohemian and historic atmosphere, look for boutique hotels in Lastarria or Bellavista. These highly walkable districts are packed with trendy cafes, art museums, independent boutiques, and some of the best nightlife in the city.

For budget-conscious travelers or those on a short layover, staying near the Historic Center (Centro) provides easy access to major landmarks like the La Moneda Palace. However, the area tends to quiet down significantly at night compared to the eastern districts.
