Hotel Boutique Le Reve, Santiago

Travel back to the 19th century in this historic building whose ivy-covered facade, shuttered windows, and iron-wrought balconies evoke a French manor house. Hotel Boutique La Reve offers a peaceful retreat in Providencia, one of Santiago's most beloved residential areas, and its location just a few blocks from the metro makes the rest of the city easily accessible. The vibrant and bohemian neighborhood of Bellavista is 20 minutes away by metro, as is the main square of Plaza de Armas. In fact, many of the city's sites can be reached in about 20 minutes on the metro.

All 31 rooms have floor-to-ceiling French doors, which makes them feel open and bright. The style is vintage, with patterned textiles, soft lighting, and wooden furniture creating an ambience of elegant history. Bathrooms are marble, and most have showers, although the Executive Suite includes a bathtub as well. Deluxe King options have balconies or terraces, which are pleasant places to enjoy a coffee or drink. Families or larger groups can spread out in the Junior Suite, which has two queen beds, and there are accessible rooms on the ground floor.

What stands out about this hotel is its cozy ambience, which makes you feel like you're actually staying in a 19th-century home. The lush courtyard is a highlight, and it's the perfect place to relax with a book or drink. The bright marble-lined lobby includes a self-service honesty bar, where you can get a drink and add it to your tab at the end. The charming vintage kitchen is open late for guests to grab a midnight snack, coffee, or juice.
