Hotel in Santiago

What area is good for seeing the main sights in the area. We will only

be there for 1 or 2 nights before our cruise and are looking for a hotel.

Have you tried websites like trip advisor, orbitz, Travelocity, etc.? Budget, mid range, luxury?

Stay in the far more interesting Valparaiso.

I've tried a lot of sites looking in the mid-range, but there are so

many different areas in Santiago it is hard to tell what is the best

for walking and sightseeing. We will only spend 1 or 2 nights there

or we could just spend 1 night there and then book a day sightseeing tour to Valparaiso, where we will spend 2 nights. I'm also looking

for a central sight there where we can explore the town.

Any ideas are appreciated.

We stayed at the Hyatt. It was in a good location to tour.

Why stay in a luxury hotel when you'll be out touring the whole day? We stayed overnight at Hotel PanAmericano, located at Centro, Santiago before returning to USA. It is midrange and right in the center of the city. If you enjoy walking. sightseeing and have fun getting lost, this is it.

Do check out their website.

We did just book the Hotel PanAmericana in Santiago. it looks like a

good hotel for the price and in the central area. We are looking forward

to staying there.

we had an excellent apartment downtown. walked everywhere (almost). US$50- per night. 14th floor corner unit overlooking the castle and town with a market on the street. perfect :D

Good decision! After a free breakfast at the hotel, go to the Cathedral (close to the hotel) show up in front before 10am for a FREE 4-hours walking tour of Santiago. Look for someone with red shirt labeled FREE TOUR. You might like to spend another day because there are so much to see.

The walking tours sounds good, we have done it in many cities and

they are usually great and informative. Just did one in Sydney.

Thanks!

We stayed in Bellas Artes (airbnb) and were minutes from the metro, the Bellas Artes Museum (where tours4tips meet) and the wonderful Lastarria restaurant and bar area. Perfect location.

We found Santiago to be a great city and were glad we spent time there.

We are in Santiago at the moment staying in the Providencia area next to Manuel Montt metro in an Airbnb apartment, We love this area, but after being here a few days I'd go with the above and stay in the Belles Artes area, as the Lastarria area and restaurants are great. Probably quieter than Providencia especially if you're on very noisy Providencia or Nueva Providencia where traffic goes all day and night! The Tours4tips leave from Belles Artes Museum as already said and their offbeat tour is great.

Great Shopping center next door with excellent restaurants. Good part of town. Stayed there on Marriott points
