Luciano K
Art deco boutique. Historic and atmospheric without being stuffy. The architecture does the heavy lifting — rooms lean into the original detailing rather than obscuring it. Lively rooftop energy in the evenings, quieter and more intimate down below.
Request a room on the Parque Forestal side — the Alameda-facing rooms also get good views but the park side is quieter and greener
Why It Matters
Designed in 1928 by Luciano Kulczewski — the architect nicknamed 'el Gaudí chileno' — the building was once the tallest in Chile and the country's first to have an elevator and central heating. Staying here is as much about the building as the hospitality.
Luciano K lives inside a 1920s building designed by architect Luciano Kulczewski — 'el Gaudí chileno' — and at the time of construction it was the tallest building in Chile, the first with an elevator, and the first with central heating. That history shows up everywhere: parquet floors, art deco stained-glass bathroom doors, that gloriously slow original elevator. The building faces Parque Forestal directly, which means the better rooms get real greenery views rather than just another city street. But the real draw is the rooftop: 300 square meters of pink terrace with a heated pool, a bar, and views that sweep across Santiago to Cerro San Cristobal.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Deluxe Room
The Deluxe tier also looks out at Alameda or Parque Forestal. More space than Superior and enhanced finishes — the art deco detailing remains the centrepiece. This is the base category in the hotel's romantic dinner package.
Standard Room
Interior-facing rooms with no outside views. The trade-off for the lower price point. Still get the full art deco treatment — parquet floors, stained-glass bathroom door insets, and the original building's bones. Triple-glazed windows and soundproofing keep things quiet.
Suite
The suites give you noticeably more room and a separate sitting area. For the building's scale — 38 rooms across 7 floors — these are genuinely spacious. All the original character remains: parquet, art deco glass, the works.
Superior Room
Step up from standard and you get exterior-facing windows with views of either Alameda Avenue or Parque Forestal. Some have old-school porcelain tubs updated with rain showers. Full art deco character intact. These are the rooms worth booking.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The front desk team can arrange Santiago tour tickets and city excursion bookings. Useful given the hotel's position right at Plaza Baquedano — a natural jumping-off point for Bellavista, Lastarria, and the city centre.
Heated outdoor pool on the 300-sqm Terraza K rooftop. Views sweep across Parque Forestal and Alameda to the Andes. A poolside bar keeps drinks coming. Best in Santiago's summer (December–February) but the heating makes it usable year-round.
The hotel offers a ski shuttle service, putting the Andes ski resorts (Valle Nevado, Farellones, La Parva) within reach from the city. Worth enquiring at the front desk for scheduling and pricing.
