聖地亞哥萬麗飯店(Renaissance Santiago Hotel)

We stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of our Chile tour. Excellent modern hotel, excellent service by friendly staff. Room was modern and well equipped. Comfortable large bed, lots of hot water for showering. Plenty of interesting artwork around. A young vibe around the place catering for everyone. We did report our safe wasn't working on day 2 and this was reported to maintenance, however it still wasn't working by the time we left. Couldn't get any channels on the TV but this wasn't a problem as we could get news updates on our phones. Excellent WIFI in all areas of the hotel. Watch out for the plastic grass by the pool as the pool area gets scaldingly hot during the day including the "grass" and its very easy to burn your feet. Excellent breakfast with lots of choices catering for everyone including vegan, lactose and gluten intolerance etc . I was impressed by the choice of fruits, cerals, nuts and seeds available and also the honeycomb for fresh local honey and choice of breads. Hotel were happy to store some luggage for us for 2 weeks while we're away on tour.

I want to start off and thank the previous hotel guests that stayed here and wrote such detailed and honest reviews of this hotel. This hotel was truly such an amazing hotel because, of the staff that goes out of their way for their guests. After arriving from an overnight flight from the states we were exhausted. We got a taxi from the airport. After customs you’ll see a booth with “official taxi” on top. You tell them your destination and pay there and they give you a ticket to give your driver. Walk outside and you’ll see a representative with a black and yellow jacket that points you to a driver. It was approximately $30 dollars and 25 minutes to get to the hotel. The hotel is in a safe part of Santiago. We walked during the day and night and never felt unsafe. We checked in with the nicest, most helpful and professional staff member by the name of Felipe. Unfortunately our room was not ready as we were early but, he held our bags and we toured the hotel, had drinks and made a reservation to the spa. Felipe speaks perfect English and he’s also the hotels Navigator aka concierge. We set up day tours with him and asked a million questions about various things ie. restaurants, safety, banks etc. Our room was ready and the supervisor, Joaquin, checked us in. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We used the spa quite frequently. We booked massages and they were an amazing price and the service was great. The sauna and steam room are free to use just make sure to call the spa to reserve a time. We saw a gym but, we never used it! There was a hiccup with housekeeping one day. They forgot to come by and we needed wash clothes. We called downstairs to get more but, was told they have no access to the housekeeping closet so we went without. The bars made the best Pisco sour and mango sour I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and order one. The restaurant in the basement were good but, they have weird operating times so look out for that. The location is a quick 10 minute walk to the mall. We did not go shopping but, there are A**’s there that were in a safe location in the mall. There’s a hop on hop off bus stop by the mall if you want to tour the city. Ask the hotel for a chip that gives you a discount on that. We used UBER a lot from the hotel and it was always quick and easy. I had to leave Chile early due to a shoulder injury and Felipe and the staff were so helpful on telling me the nearest hospital. I went back to the US instead. If you’re a passenger on a cruise you’ll more than likely meet other passengers as there were so many staying here. All in all this hotel was a 10/10!
