Cirilo Armstrong Hotel Boutique, Valparaíso

Valparaíso's center is within easy reach of Cirilo Armstrong, a bright and modern boutique hotel. If you're hoping to immerse yourself in the city's vibrant art scene, you'll find great sites close to the hotel, like Parque Cultural, a dynamic cultural space built on the foundation of an old prison, just 10 minutes away on foot. Walk 15 minutes to Ascensor Concepción, a 19th-century funicular—and the oldest in the city—that takes you to the lower end of the bohemian neighborhood, Cerro Concepción. Santiago is about an hour and a half away by car, and the bus station of Valparaíso is just a 10-minute drive from the hotel.

Rooms are like modern apartments, embodying a contemporary laid-back style that feels harmonious with this colorful waterfront city. Neutral earthy tones, natural light, and wooden furnishings highlight views of the city from this hillside hotel. Some rooms can accommodate up to four on multiple beds, and there are options with equipped kitchenettes as well. Split-level rooms offer more privacy, and there are a few rooms with outdoor hot tubs for extra relaxation.
