"The Ritz-Carlton Santiago is the one and only outpost of the classically glamorous five-star chain on the entire continent of South America. But what makes it special? We could talk about the spa’s sweeping views of the Andes and the perfectly prepared pisco sours at the cocktail bar. But frankly, pretty much every hotel in Santiago has both of those. What the Ritz-Carlton Santiago has going for it is, in a word, standards. It’s a certain breed of old-world refinement that the brand has practiced and perfected for a century." - Tablet Hotels
