Dreams del Estrecho Hotel, Punta Arenas

Dreams del Estrecho is a waterfront casino hotel in the center of Punta Arenas, close to the city's attractions, restaurants, and shops. Plaza Muñoz Gamero is just under a 10-minute walk, and the panoramic viewpoint of Cerro de la Cruz is a 20-minute walk or 5-minute drive. Magellan National Reserve, known for its diverse flora and fauna and hiking trails, is a 15-minute drive, while Torres del Paine is four hours away by car. If you're visiting the Isla de Magdalena, the departure point is less than 10 minutes away by car.

The 88 modern rooms follow the style of a business hotel and range from standard rooms to suites. Views are of the city or sea, so book a sea view option to get a clear view of the Strait of Magellan. If you're a light sleeper, consider a room on a higher floor, as the hotel is located on a busy main road. All rooms have showers with detachable showerheads, and suites include bathtubs as well. While rooms have thermostats to adjust heating, they do not have air conditioning, but you can ask for a fan.

The hotel's casino is a popular attraction for many in the city, and guests can spend their time there or in one of its other facilities. A rooftop bar and restaurant offer clear views of the Strait of Magellan, as do the gym and pool. You can also grab a coffee at the café in the lobby before heading out for the day.
