A beautiful 1920s mansion restored and converted to a luxury, boutique hotel that fuses an appealing blend of character and nostalgia with luxurious, contemporary hotel design and features. Located high on a hill in the heart of the Alegre district of the historic port city of Valparaiso, boasting impressive views of the bay below, spacious guest rooms, a swimming pool and a restaurant serving local food and an impressive Chilean wine list. Enjoy outstanding contemporary cuisine, with an emphasis on seafood, at the Montealegre restaurant, with lovely salon and open-air terrace offering magnificent views across the port. Watch the sun set over the city from the panoramic roof terrace. This exclusive destination has just 20 guest rooms, a handful with with individual terraces offering stunning views of the Valparaiso bay and the Cordillera and Concepcion hills.
At this Relais & Chateaux-operated boutique hotel you'll get a real sense of place, as well as fantastic city and harbour views from its elevated position. The city is dotted with colourful Victorian-style mansions – this is Chile's answer to hilly and bohemian San Francisco! The hotel itself is housed in two of these historic buildings – one of which is a palace and national monument – both of which have been lovingly restored. The restoration meant the addition of a small spa with hamman and massage room, and a swimming pool. In regards to location you will be right at the heart of the city's historic district and within walking distance of the bars and restaurants that can be found here (remember this is a very hilly city – something to take into account when deciding on your eatery of choice!). There's also a restaurant on site where you can enjoy local and international dishes; while for drinks head to the Piano Lounge Bar or book a tasting in the Wine Cellar. There are just 23 rooms here including the comfortable Standard and Premium Rooms and the more spacious and highly recommended Junior Suites. The latter are located on the second or third floors and have a living area with sofa bed.
