Ritz-Carlton Santiago

While the exterior of the Ritz-Carlton is utilitarian, this is undoubtedly Santiago's poshest and most intimate luxury hotel, with the most adept staff. Most important, this Ritz is more economical than its counterparts elsewhere, and it enjoys a more convenient location than the Hyatt given its proximity to fine restaurants, a Metro station, and a thriving economic hub of Santiago.

The guest rooms are luxurious in a home-spun floral kind of way; some Ritz devotees may be disappointed by the lack of butch glamour and antiquity that characterizes the Ritz brand. Still, each spacious room is quiet, spotless, and blessed with heavenly beds. The hotel has a fabulous rooftop health center under a glass dome that boasts a view of the city and the Andes. The spa offers reasonably priced massages, or you can request a bath butler who will prepare a decadent bath for you -- a soak in carmenère wine. The hotel's impressive lobby, which has a two-story rotunda, leads to the hotel lounge and a plush (usually smoky) wine bar. The Ritz's bar/restaurant 345 has quite possibly the best wine list in Santiago, and they've taken to hosting special weekend cocktail hours.
