Concierge "Design is paramount in the ample rooms, too, where floor-to-ceiling windows, fabric-paneled walls, angular furniture, and a plethora of gadgets underscore a masculine sensibility."
Fodor's "Located in the heart of the fashionable El Golf business and restaurant district, South America's first W hotel opened in mid-2009, setting a new standard of luxury in Santiago." Full review
Travel + Leisure "In the El Golf district of Chile’s capital, the ebullient Tony Chi (the designer behind the restaurants at Park Hyatt Sydney and Mandarin Oriental New York) is responsible for witty flourishes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The most exciting hotel to open in Chile in a decade, W Hotel offers fabulous, cutting-edge decor designed to impress even the most jaded traveler."

"Chi has transformed a whopping chunk of office space with frosted-glass and taffeta partitions, perspective-teasing alpaca ceilings and mirrored walls, and a treasure trove of decorative objects." Full review

Many rooms (spread through various categories) have windows between the guest rooms and baths, and privacy seekers should avoid these rooms upon check-in.

Before you swing open the polished wooden doors to Hotel Magnolia, be sure to look up: the stone façade of this 1920s grande dame is part of its (considerable) charm.
Fodor's "It is considered a fine example of fusing old with new, from the old-school facade that is later glassed in, to interior remodels with marble staircases...they offer a good restaurant onsite." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"No two rooms are exactly alike at this artfully designed boutique hotel, which masterfully intertwines old and new within the confines of a restored 1920s office building." Full review
Michelin Guide "With contemporary furniture and design flourishes as well — the look is historically informed but far from nostalgic, and the loft-style rooms combine sleek clean lines with warm organic materials." Full review
