Hotel Manoir Atkinson, Valparaíso

Step behind the colorful facade and mural of Hotel Manoir Atkinson to find a traditional European-style family-run hotel. Set in the vibrant area of Cerro Concepción, known for its array of restaurants, cafés, and colorful buildings and artworks, this old patrimonial home reflects the European and colonial history of Valparaíso. Walk to Ascensor Concepción, the 19th-century funicular that takes you down to the lower part of the city in just five minutes, or reach Muelle Prat, the historic port, in 15 minutes.

There are just under 10 rooms, which mix bright colors with vintage furniture and wooden furnishings to capture an old-world European charm. Since this is a historic house, the rooms follow the original layout and may feel a bit tight as they're built for older standards, so consider booking the suite or a double for a little more space. The suite also includes a terrace with city and sea views, and some double rooms also have balconies overlooking Valparaíso. Otherwise, head to the hotel's rooftop terrace to have a coffee and tasty homemade breakfast while enjoying panoramic views of the city.
