Why It Matters
Ranked in the top 3 hotels in Santiago on TripAdvisor and recommended by The New York Times. Listed on both Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels. The building itself is an architectural landmark — one of very few heritage castle-properties operating as a boutique hotel in the city.
An actual 1923 castle turned boutique hotel, sitting in Bellavista right at the foot of Cerro San Cristóbal. The building — stately, vermillion-hued, hard to miss — was originally the residence of the aristocratic Lehuedé family, then passed through the hands of a Russian writer and later served as a gathering spot for artists. A careful three-year restoration opened it as a hotel in May 2014, and its 31 individually designed rooms retain original fireplaces, period woodwork, and 1920s decorative sensibility while delivering modern comfort. The Grisanti & Cussen studio handled the interiors, so there is real design intention behind every room.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Balcony King
Same king bed and sofa layout as the suite tier, but the real draw is the private terrace. Guests consistently rate the balcony views over the garden as a standout feature. Can take an extra cot on request.
1 King bed + Sofa · 20 sqm
Classic Queen
A step up from the Petit, comfortably accommodating one or two guests. Period-style decor, with all modern comforts. Rooms are individually themed — some based on original rooms of the Lehuedé family home.
1 Queen bed · 12 sqm
Petit Queen
The smallest room in the castle — honest about that. Comfortable for one, cozy for two. Everything you need, nothing wasted. Each room is individually decorated in 1920s style by the Grisanti & Cussen studio.

The hotel's newest and most spacious category, built for families or groups of up to four. At 37 sqm, it's the biggest footprint in the hotel. Two queen beds, private bath, all the 1920s charm of the castle with room for everyone.
