Hotel Magnolia

Hotel Magnolia is a 40-room boutique hotel in a heritage building that has stood at Huérfanos 539 since 1929, and it holds one MICHELIN Key. It is a strong choice for travellers who want character in the historic centre, close to Cerro Santa Lucía and Barrio Lastarria.

The building keeps original details such as its 1929 stained-glass windows. There are five room types: Superior, Deluxe, Deluxe with Balcony, Junior Suite and the Magnolia Signature Suite; the Deluxe with Balcony rooms are the ones to request if you want outdoor space of your own.

Two features stand out. Terraza Magnolia is a rooftop bar on the seventh floor with views of Cerro Santa Lucía and a list of signature cocktails, a good place to start or end an evening. And on the ground floor, DeMo Magnolia, the fine-dining restaurant of chef Pedro Chavarría, serves a single tasting menu inspired by the markets and streets of downtown Santiago; it was ranked number 31 in Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2025. The hotel offers a package combining a stay with dinner at DeMo.

Facilities include Spa Magnolia, offering massages and treatments, a 24-hour gym for guests only, valet parking, a wine cellar and spaces for private dinners and celebrations. Valet parking is useful if you arrive by car, since some central hotels, including The Singular and Hotel Cumbres Lastarria, have no parking at all. The hotel describes itself as a hotel boutique patrimonial, a heritage boutique hotel, and the 1929 details are a large part of its appeal. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00. With only 40 rooms, booking ahead is advisable for weekends and popular dates.

The location is a big advantage. Cerro Santa Lucía and the Lastarria cafés are nearby, and the hotel's location in the centre makes the Plaza de Armas, the museums and the Teatro Municipal easy to reach. Hotel Magnolia suits couples, culture-focused travellers and food lovers who want to stay where they can walk to most of the sights and still enjoy a serious dinner on site.
