Hotel Magnolia - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Cosmopolitan Santiago’s first true design hotel, Hotel Magnolia opened in the summer of 2016 to understandable fanfare: Set in a renovated 1929 mansion at the foot of hilly Cerro Santa Lucía park, a few paces from the city’s old town and the Bellas Artes national gallery, the 42-room pad gifted the city’s visitors a truly fashionable (albeit sufficiently charming) place to lay their heads. There’s a just-right juxtaposition of the old with the new: a Neo-Gothic facade, stained glass windows, and black-and-white marble floors in the foyer add gravitas to an otherwise-modern design, where rooms boxed up in light wood paneling and finished off with neutral linens give off more than a hint of Scandi sensibility. Pick any night of the week to swig a glass of silky Santa Ema cabernet sauvignon on the open-air rooftop terrace, with a sprawling view of downtown and Santa Lucía hill to keep you company." - Betsy Blumenthal
