Step Into Luxury

Whether you are headed to explore Chile’s beaches, snow-capped mountains or renowned vineyards, chances are your first stop will be in the country’s vibrant and modern capital city of Santiago — and there’s no better place to call home while there than The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago.

Located in the exclusive El Golf neighborhood, also known as Sanhattan, the hotel is surrounded by luxury shops, trendy restaurants and a buzzing financial district. The signature customer service of The Ritz-Carlton dominates here, from the moment you walk into the elegant lobby.

All 205 rooms have undergone a complete remodeling, incorporating soothing pastel colors reminiscent of earth elements like clay — a nod to the country’s indigenous customs — with matching rugs and mantles typical of pre-Columbian art.

Hues of blue and white throughout serve as a reminder of the sea and snow flanking this narrow country. Rustic furniture, representing nature, works in unison with the modern aesthetic.

Head to the coveted Club Level on the 10th floor. You can either book a Club room, which automatically grants access or add a Club Lounge fee to your room. There, personalized service and attention to detail emphasize the luxurious service that sets The Ritz-Carlton apart on a global level. A dedicated concierge attends to guests’ every need while a continuous culinary offering from breakfast, snacks, hors d’oeuvres, drinks and sweet treats is available. Should you have work obligations, a computer station awaits.

But first, head to the spa. Located on the rooftop, it welcomes guests with a magnificent view of Santiago’s skyline and promises to pamper and restore. The steam room, sauna, indoor pool and hot tub are all good starts, but be sure to include indulging treatments like Lapis lazuli stone massage or the Deluxe Chocolate massage. For those not wanting to wane from their fitness regimen, there’s a modern gym.

Chile’s expansive coastline and varied geography are fodder for fresh and flavorful culinary options, something The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago’s restaurant, Estró, fully embraces.

Dishes include Salmon Tiradito in a coconut emulsion with ají Verde, Grilled Black Angus steak, truffled mushroom risotto, blue cheese and Carmenere sauce and Cauliflower “Steak” for vegetarian diners. You’ll want to begin (or end!) your evening at The Ritz-Carlton Bar where guests can sip on one of the many pisco-based drinks — the Pisco Sour Deluxe, a deluxe blend of Waqar & Mistral D.O. Pisco and Sweet & Sour is a game-changer. There are plenty of traditional cocktails as well, for those craving anything from a Bloody Mary, Tom Collins or Gimlet. To add to the atmosphere, there’s a Swing and Blues band every Thursday and a live pianist all other evenings, making this a delightful experience.

Those needing a caffeine fix or a sweet treat will find refuge in Café Ritual.

A visit to The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago is steeped in the comforts and perks associated with this exclusive brand. Paired with the hotel’s thoughtful nod to local heritage and flavors, caps it off as the ultimate stay.

The Ritz-Carlton, Santiago is located at Calle El Alcalde No. 15, Santiago. For more information, visit ritzcarlton.com/en/hotels/santiago.
