Hotel Eco Boutique Bidasoa, Santiago

Hotel Eco Boutique Bidasoa is a stylish and peaceful family-run hotel in Vitacura, known as the "posh" neighborhood of the city. It's hard to argue with that once you step outside onto the main street, Avenida Vitacura, which is filled with upscale shops, restaurants, and cafés. If you want a bit of nature, Bicentennial Park is a 30-minute walk. While this suburb has a bus line that connects to central Santiago, there's no metro, so be prepared to drive or take taxis to the city center, which is just 20 minutes away by car. 

Step into one of the 85+ rooms whose mix of green tones, soft lighting, modern and Art Deco furniture, and lush plants evoke the peace and calm of nature in the middle of this metropolis. The rooms are spacious with marble bathrooms and can include views of the mountains. Suites have extra amenities like bathtubs, and the most exclusive option, the two-bedroom Presidential Suite, includes a sauna as well. The Presidential Suite is more like an apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining room and living room, and even a washing machine. 

Cool off in the hotel's pool and garden or savor a tasty meal of Latin American cuisine at the chic restaurant, Casa Sanz. One of the hotel's main focuses is sustainability, and it has a number of practices to ensure a 100% sustainable stay. These include offering bikes and electric charging stations for cars in the free parking garage, offering local and biodegradable products, and using renewable energy.
