Hotel Terbaik dengan Gimnasium di Santiago

A lot of properties to consider in SCL. I won’t go through my selection process, but it doesn’t necessarily have to do with status. I came across the Le Meridien, that the Marriott website labeled as ‘new’. Apparently new to Marriott (since December), but certainly not a new property. It was formerly a Crowne Plaza. Not sure if ownership changed, but the property had to be rebranded. It is just a couple of blocks from the ground zero of Santiago protests at Plaza Baquedano and something bad happened at the property. Not sure how true that is – I didn’t read it on the Internet; heard a couple of other guests discussing it. Anyhow, LTP, stay mid-March, 3 nights. Late arrival. I used the shared shuttle service to the property. Never again (and not the property’s idea or fault). Booked a class king city view room and received the same. I did ask about upgrades and the FDA told me that an upgraded room maybe be available the next night for the remainder of my stay. I wasn’t interested in moving rooms as I had full days of tourism and I was already behind due to a 18 hour flight delay. Note that I was recognized as a LTP, proactively offered late checkout at 4 PM, and everything else explained to me. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was great! The property is well located. Everything that I wanted to see was within walking distance (for me that means within 2 miles/45 minutes on flatland). But Uber is also readily available. Barrio Bellavista and/or Barrio Artes are close by for a large variety of restaurants, shops, etc. That said, I can take care of myself, but I wouldn’t walk around after dark other than a direct walk back from one of the Barrios to the property. There was nothing remarkable about the room. It was clean and comfortable albeit in need of renovation. If you are into English-speaking TV, you’ll need to get over it. The room did have a Nespresso-like machine and additional pods were available for the asking (I asked for 2 and 10 were dropped off). My public review rule for 2024 is the automatic drop of 1 point when plugs (any type – I can use a converter) are not provided bedside. It is 2024, not 2004; plug bricks are like 10 USD from Amazon. Breakfast was a decent buffet in the restaurant, including made to order omelets. Oddly enough, there were no hot meats offered on the buffet. The FDA told me that the lounge was being renovated, but there was a lounge like feature at the bar. Between 5-7 PM, small bites and a narrow variety of beer, wine, and sparkling wine were offered – for all guests. Once the small bites were gone, there were not any refills. Unfortunately, there was a group of 4 who helped themselves to most of the small bites. I even observed the bartender mentioning nicely (and no language barrier) that the small bites were for all and would not be refilled. That fell on deaf ears. I can’t stand people that treat the lounge or like as dinner when that is clearly not the intent. C

We stayed in this hotel for two nights while visiting Santiago de Chile, and my experience was pretty good. Check-in process was smooth with no complaints other than the lack of staff to escort the luggage. We got a room in the middle of the building and the room was spacious and comfortable with working heater plus air conditioner for warning up from the chilly Santiago weather. Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy the breakfast due to the constraints of our tour but overall we had a very nice stay and would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good accomodation in the centre of Santiago.

Very nice location, right next to the airport! Good service too, have English speaking staff which is pretty rare in Chile + we had a fe luggage request which all got fulfilled and well taken care of! Also up to standard vibe, would recommend this hotel.

Muy bien el servicio del hotel, pero la cama ”extra grande” no es tan ”extra”, sino solamente grande. Esperaba una cama más grande. La atención del personal muy buena, muy amable. Respecto del acceso, desde el estacionamiento, debo decir que es muy malo. Está muy mal señalizado cuando uno llega en auto. No hay letreros claros que muestren dónde está el ingreso al hotel.

Hotel located on the main avenue in Santiago. Close to subways, centre of government, museums, restaurants and parks. The hotel and our room are decorated with dark wood. Room unexpectedly large and lots of storage space. Bed fairly comfortable but getting old. Good climate control and water pressure, linen and towels clean. Staff generally helpful, especially Juan and Josué at reception, Nicole at the concierge desk and Cesar at breakfast. Dining room spacious and breakfast had a good variety of foods and fruits. Told area not safe after dark due to reduced police presence. Fine during the day, however be aware of surroundings. Lots of little streets and lanes to explore in the neighbourhood. Beware of the yellow and black taxis. They take the longest possible route and then switch your bill for a smaller one. One tried to switch a 20k bill with a 2k one. Carry small bills if using these taxis.

Perfect location and walkable to many restaurants, parks, Costanera Tower, etc. Service was great. Very clean and comfy! We loved it! The staff were very helpful. Shower available in fitness center for early arrivers. The rooftop view was amazing for breakfast, bar, etc.

The hotel is in a great area and overall a great value for the price. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Two things that I didn’t like were that the bathroom smelled horrible, like something had died and I’m not sure where the smell came from. Also the restaurant had the annoying habit of adding ingredients not listed on the menu to dishes on multiple occasions. Like adding ham to fettuccine with Alfredo sauce and mushrooms.

Excelente servicio,amables,atentos. Cada vez que voy me siento acogida y como en casa. La limpieza muy buena , creo que esta perfecto. Comercios muy cercanos, Mall Open Kennedy a 5 minutos a pie, Mall Parque Araucano 7 minutos y el Parque Araucano. Voy con mi perrita y siempre le tienen camita y platitos. Servicio muy completo. Volvería siempre.

The hotel is clean and located in the heart of Santiago. The staff are amazing. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. There are bus and train stops within a couple of blocks of the hotel. Water, beer, wine and snacks are conveniently available for purchase in the lobby any time of the day or night. The hotel is still ramping up its operations to become more “full service” so some services, such as an in-house laundry service, are not yet available. The pool/bar area is beautiful and makes for a great place to hang out. Compared to a four star hotel in Chicago, some may find the interior a bit lacking, but my family and I really liked it.

I visited this hotel again for the first time in years now that work travel is in full force. Centrally located, modern, with a proper scene and activity in an otherwise quiet neighborhood at night and on weekends. Definitely would recommend this hotel over others in this neighborhood if traveling here for work. If for pleasure, it’s fine so long as you are content with taking a metro or UBER/taxi to the touristy parts of the city.
