W Santiago

W Santiago is a 196-room hotel on Isidora Goyenechea in El Golf, Las Condes. It combines a strong food and drink offer with a rooftop bar and live DJ sets, which give it a livelier atmosphere than the more traditional hotels nearby.

Rooms are designed with elegant furnishings and intriguing décor, and the suites run up to penthouse level. The real draw is the range of places to eat and drink. NoSo serves Chilean products with Mediterranean influences; Karai by Mitsuharu offers Japanese and Nikkei cooking, with sushi, sashimi and an omakase option at the bar; and Terraza is a Chilean bistro. Red2One, the rooftop bar on the 21st floor, has views of the city and the Andes, and the W Lounge, with its wall of wine bottles, hosts live DJ sets.

Facilities include an outdoor pool, complimentary for guests, a fitness centre, a hair salon, meeting space and a business centre. Service extends to 24-hour room service, a concierge, daily housekeeping and dry cleaning. The hotel is pet friendly, with a fee per night and a one-off charge per stay, and there is on-site parking with electric car charging, subject to availability.

The location is very convenient for the eastern part of the city. El Golf metro station is the nearest, giving direct access towards the centre, and Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport is about 23 kilometres away, with an airport shuttle offered. Pinpilinpausha and Tiramisú are within walking distance on the same street, and The Ritz-Carlton and Mandarin Oriental are nearby if you are comparing options.

W Santiago suits couples, younger travellers and anyone who wants a buzzing hotel with nightlife on site. Families will appreciate the pool, while business travellers benefit from the meeting facilities and the El Golf address. Light sleepers should ask for a room away from the bar areas at weekends, given the DJ sets.

Book Red2One early for sunset at weekends if you are not staying in the hotel, and check whether the pool and rooftop are open on your dates, as they were closed for renovation for a period in 2024. Contact the hotel on +56 2 2770 0000.
