The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago

"Purpose-built as the first Ritz-Carlton in the Southern Cone, this Santiago hotel opened its doors in June 2003. When guests enter the impressive red-brick building, they are enveloped in a sense of occasion—paneled woodwork, ornately framed paintings, and staff dressed in suits and tuxes. All the trimmings delivered so well by the Ritz brand. Tradition is the name of the game, both in service and style. The rooms are classic, with touches of Latin America in the artwork. The bathrooms are a high point—large, decked out in marble, and stocked with indulgent Asprey amenities. One of the most striking design features is the domed glass roof that tops the hotel. The view of the Andes is fantastic from the rooftop, and the best part is a swimming pool, so you can swim surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Service is a strong point (not always a given in Chile ). You know you’re in good hands at the Ritz-Carlton."

The Ritz-Carlton Santiago, Chile - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"This 205-room hotel in the quiet El Golf district is decorated in the English manor house style that Ritz-Carlton has down pat: wood-paneled common areas filled with Chinese vases and paintings in gilt frames. Yet there are also plenty of reminders that you are, first impressions aside, in Chile. The rooftop pool and gym look out on the Andes, and Wine 365, a wine bar serving light fare, takes its name from the fact that its cellar is stocked with enough Chilean vintages to enable you to try a different kind every night for a year. (Alternatively, you could sample a night of four or five labels, accompanied by tapas, at the evening wine hour.) The more formal on-site dining option is Adra, where lapis lazuli–accented marble floors complement a Chilean-Mediterranean menu. The unremarkable brick-and-glass facade belies the high luxe of bath butlers who can turn your soak into an Andean excursion with Amazonian essential oils and herbs."
