Hotels in Santiago offer excellent accommodations in a city nicknamed “Santi”. Known for its mountainous backdrop, ski resorts (1.5 / 2-hour drive eastward), beaches (1.5-hour drive westward), hills, cable cars, squares, plazas, parques (parks), gardens, fountains, statues, museums, theatres, shopping malls, markets, restaurants, bars, vineyards and Catholic churches, Santiago is located at about the mid-point of the narrow, elongated, coastal country of Chile. Throughout its history, a resilient Santiago has been hampered by indigenous attacks, battles, earthquakes, floods, epidemics and supply shortages. Not far from Santiago’s eastern border, the Andes Mountains, which top-off at 22,838 feet, represent the world’s longest continental mountain range. The area’s top ski resorts are Valle Nevado (Valle Nevado Three-Bedroom Apartment, Valle Nevado Two-Bedroom Apartment, Valle Nevado One-Bedroom Apartment), La Parva (La Parva Five-Bedroom Apartment, La Parva Three-Bedroom Apartment) and Lagunillas del Cajón del Maipo (Miramonte B&B, Camino al Alfalfal Chalet), which are about a 1.5-to-2-hour drive eastward. The Mapocho River, which is sourced by the Andes, divides Santiago in two. Roughly a 1.5-hour drive westward, top Pacific coast beaches include Playa El Quisco, El Canelillo (popular white-sand beach a short walk past a pine forest, swimming, sunbathing), Playa Canelo Canelillo and Playa Grande Las Cruces. Surrounding/bordering Santiago and in proximity to the city’s outer ring road (Route 70), notable points of interest include Parque Orione (Chinese park), Mallplaza Oeste (shopping mall), Templo Votivo de Maipu (Catholic church), Aviva Santiago (water park), Tactical Sport Chile (paintball center), Hacienda Chicureo Club (golf club), Manquehuito Mountain (nature preserve), Hacienda Santa Martina (golf club), Outlife Parque RKF El Durazno (bike park), Santuario de la Naturaleza El Arrayán (nature park, picnic spots, BBQs, hiking/mountain biking trails), Mampato Lo Barnechea (children’s amusement park), Parque Natural San Carlos de Apoquindo (national park, hiking/mountain biking, mountain views), Los Dominicos Craft Centre (handicraft fair), Parque Natural Aguas de Ramón (forested park, trails, scenic views, hanging bridges, waterfalls, education center), Templo Bahá’í de Sudamérica (Bahá’í house of worship), Parque Natural Quebrada de Macul (nature preserve, hiking/mountain biking/horseback riding, Andean foxes), Cenco Florida (shopping mall), Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida (stadium), Mall Plaza Tobalaba (shopping mall) and Buin Zoo. Within the city, main attractions are Cenco Costanera (shopping mall), Plaza de Armas de Santiago (central square, statues, stately buildings), Parque Arauco. (shopping mall), Mallplaza Egaña (shopping mall), Parque Bicentenario (green space, dog agility course, playground, sports/picnic areas, walking paths), Fantasilandia (amusement park), Santiago Central Market, Movistar Arena (concert hall), Parque Metropolitano de Santiago (large park, green space, cable cars, zoo, forest, statues, pools…), Araucano Park (rose gardens, basketball/tennis, playground, skate park), Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Pradanos (stadium), Parque Quinta Normal (green space, museums, paddle boats, children’s fountain, food vendors), Plaza Ñuñoa (open-air restaurants/bars, fountains), Reyes Park (sports fields, skatepark, pool, flea market, arts center), Centro Comercial Apumanque (shopping mall), Parque Padre Hurtado (large park, bike paths, mini-golf, skating rink, amphitheater, cafeteria), Mall Barrio Independencia (shopping mall), Gabriela Mistral Cultural Centre, La Fábrica Patio Outlet (shopping mall), Golfo di Napoli Trattoria e Pizzeria (Italian restaurant), Parque Almagro (park, artwork, sculptures), Lo Valledor (produce market), National Zoo, Teatro Caupolican (performing arts theater), Parque Fluvial (riverfront park, paved paths, boat rentals, artifical lagoon, night-time light shows), Mercado Matadero (shopping mall), La Moneda Cultural Center (cultural center), Inés de Suárez Park (fountains, table tennis, avenue of palms, jogging, dog walking), Mercado la Vega (fresh food market), National Museum of Fine Arts (art museum), Museum of Memory & Human Rights (local history museum), Juan Pablo II Park (green space, pond, fountain, playground, sculptures), Fuente Mardoqueo (restaurant), Municipal Theatre of Santiago (performing arts theater built 1857), National Museum of Natural History, Los Buenos Muchachos (Chilean restaurant), Cerro San Cristóbal (tourist attraction), Parque Bicentenario de Cerrillos (elongated green space, playgrounds, picnic tables, artificial lake, kayaking), Open Plaza Kennedy (shopping mall), Parque Bustamante (green space, bike paths, exercise equipment, literary café, skate park), Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art (ethnographic museum), Drugstore Boulevard (shopping mall), Constitution Place (palace-front square, paved/grass sections, military parades, civic monuments), Club Hípico de Santiago (horse racecourse founded 1869), Bicentenario de la Infancia Park, Pedro de Valdivia Metropolitan Park, National Aerospace Museum (national museum), Santa Laura Stadium, Centro Cultural Matucana 100 (cultural center), Gruta de Lourdes (Catholic grotto inaugurated 1908), Sanctuary on San Cristóbal Hill (Catholic church), Las Pipas de Einstein (wine store) and Church of the Blessed Sacrament (Catholic church). Santiago’s main airport, located about 9 miles northwest of downtown, is Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. Good to know is that Uber rideshare does operate in Santiago, with service encompassing the airport. The city’s subway system is the Santiago Metro. Of course, the best way to reach ski resorts or beaches is by rental car. Santi’s most reputable car rental agency is Chilean Rent A Car. Winners of 33 Primera División de Chile titles and 13 Copa Chile titles, Colo-Colo is the city’s top football club, while Universidad Católica and Club Universidad de Chile are the two other professional clubs. When traveling in Santiago, keep in mind that English is not a widely practiced language outside of hotel areas. Chileans tend to be patriotic, and are known to be honest verbally, sometimes even brutally. As USDs are seldom accepted in establishments, it’s a good idea to exchange your currency for Chilean Pesos. Santiago’s crime rate is low, though pickpocketing is known to occur. Not far outside the city, some of the world’s largest copper mines operate continuously. As such, air quality can be poor at times. Like in Barcelona, dinner can be late, sometimes as late as 11pm. In Santiago, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Apart from New Year, drinking in public places such as streets or squares is illegal. Santiago top events include Santiago a Mil International Theatre Festival, Santiago International Film Festival, Lollapalooza Chile, Fiestas Patria (Chilean Independence Day), New Year and Santiago Marathon. Hotels in Santiago are some of South America’s best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Santiago, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along way. 

Around 10,000 BC, nomadic hunter-gatherers from the Pacific coast are thought to have arrived at the Santiago basin. Permanent settlements were not established until around 800 AD, when maze, potatoes and beans started being cultivated along the Mapocho River. From the late 1400s to early 1500s, the area’s Picunche and Promaucae peoples were ruled by The Incas, who established mitimas, or forced resettlement areas, in the center of present-day Santiago. It is believed that the Santiago area, which was a junction along the 25,000-mile long Qhapaq Ñan (pre-Columbian, Andean road system), served as a respite base for failed southerly Inca expeditions. On December 13, 1540, Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valdivia arrived in the Mapocho valley from Peru. Valdivia began interacting with the Picunche people on behalf of Spain’s Charles IV. The city of Santiago del Nuevo Extremo was founded on February 12, 1541 in honor of Spain’s patron saint, the Apostle James the Great. Near Huelén, which Valdivia renamed Santa Lucía, a grid plan was designed by soldier and master builder Pedro de Gamboa. Plaza Mayor, the town’s central hub, was to be developed along with a cathedral (eventual Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral), a jail and the royal governor’s house. Forming the city’s street grid, eight blocks were constructed from north-to-south, along with ten blocks from east-to-west. Chilean colonial architecture became characteristic along the streets. On September 11, 1541, following Valdivia’s departure to the south in order to initiate the Arauco War, the Mapuche chief Michimalonco destroyed most of Santiago del Nuevo Extremo. However, Mapuche and Picunche warriors  ultimately retreated thanks to Spanish conquistadora and Valdivia’s mistress Inés de Suárez. Leading the defense from within the city’s fort, Suárez ordered the execution of all indigenous prisoners, and the displaying of their heads (some of which were thrown at the indigenous attackers) on pikes. Suárez’s beheading tactics caused the natives to flee in fear. Thereafter, Santiago was slowly rebuilt, while the new city of Concepción took over briefly in terms of political prominence. The Arauco War, along with frequent earthquakes, delayed Santiago’s overtaking of the political arena. In 1607, the establishment of the Royal Court in Santiago solidified the city as a capital. Food and clothing shortages plagued the city in its early years. Dog, cat, seal lion and fox hides would have to suffice as clothing for some Spaniards. Indigenous attacks, earthquakes and floods continued to hamper the city, but Santiago proved resilient. The city’s first cathedrals were built from 1561-1572, around which time other significant buildings were constructed and tens of thousands of livestock were introduced to the surrounding fertile lands. An earthquake, a smallpox epidemic and flooding created further adversity during the 16th and 17th centuries. Once again, the city pressed onward, with Plaza de Armas established as Chile’s focal point. Constructed in 1767 by Luis Manuel de Zañartu, Calicanto Bridge, which crossed the Mapocho River on the city’s northside, provided a connection to La Chimba. Zañartu also built embankments to help with flooding. Palacio de La Moneda, designed by Italian architect Joaquín Toesca, began construction in 1784, and was completed in 1805. Following the deposition and imprisonment of Spain’s King Ferdinand VII by Napoleon Bonaparte, the September 18, 1810 First Government Junta of Chile was organized to establish post-colonial rule in Chile. The Chilean War of Independence (1812-1827) between Patriots and Royalists, ultimately resulting in a Patriot victory, proved challenging for Santiago. Significant Santiago-area battles during this time were the Battle of Rancagua, the Battle of Chacabuco and the Battle of Maipú, respectively. Following the War, Chilean Independence leader Bernardo O’Higgins became Supreme Director, or Head of State. O’Higgins, during the Patria Nueva (New Fatherland) era, reopened institutions, built the city’s largest cemetery (General Cemetery), completed the San Carlos Canal and converted a southerly drying riverbed into Alameda de las Delicias, the city’s main avenue. From 1820 to 1864, Santiago’s population grew from 46,000 to 69,018, and by 1865 it had reached 115,337. Academic institutions, including the University de Chile, parks and museums were founded during the ensuing Republican era. Connecting communication from Santiago to the Port of Valparaíso, the area’s first telegraph system was inaugurated circa 1851. On September 14, 1857, the first railway arrived in the city, terminating at present-day Alameda. From 1940 to 1960, the city’s population increased from 952,075 to 1,907,378. Gran Torre Costanera, South America’s tallest building, was completed in 2013.

Today, Santiago is home to around 6.2 million santiaguinos (males) and santiaguinas (females). People in Santiago speak Chilean Spanish, which is different than regular Spanish, especially when it comes to slang. English and German are also spoken, but it might be best to learn at least a few Chilean Spanish words/phrases such as cachai?, or “do you understand?”. The world’s second-longest country from north-to-south behind only Brazil, Chile spans just 217 miles east-to-west compared to 2,670 miles north-to-south. The city of Santiago sits at the center of the Santiago Basin, which is flush with fertile land. In the distance, the snow-capped Andes Mountain range can make for impressive, dramatic scenery. Chile’s capital and industrial and financial center, Santiago generates about 45% of the country’s GDP. Santi enjoys a semi-arid climate with Mediterranean patterns. High summer temperatures range in the 90s degrees Fahrenheit while winter highs stay in the 50s. Snowfall is rare. Additional points of interest include Gran Torre Costanera (skyscraper), Torre Entel (TV/telecommunications tower), Titanium La Portada (skyscraper), Barrio Bellavista (skyscraper), Edificio Ariztía (downtown building), Paseo Ahumada (downtown retail street), Sanhattan (financial district), Santa Lucía Hill, Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago, Church of Santo Domingo, La Moneda Palace (presidential building), National Library of Chile, National Historical Museum, Contemporary Art Museum of Santiago, Central Post Office Building and Universidad de Chile. Local foods include empanadas, pastel de choclo (corn casserole pie with meat stuffing), chacarero (steak sandwich), curanto (seafood, meat and vegetable stew), caldillo de congrio (fish stew/soup), the completo (a type of hot dog), alfajores (cookies) and sopaipilla (fried dough). Popular drinks are wine, pisco (brandy), piscola (Chile’s national drink, pisco, Coca-Cola), pisco sour (grape brandy, lime juice, sugar, egg whites), terremoto (strong and sweet, fermented white wine, local brandy, pineapple ice cream), borgoña (holiday drink, chilled red wine, strawberries) and mote con huesillos (non-alcoholic peach drink). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for hotels in Santiago  that will help make for an outstanding experience.
