Needless to say, we don’t need to convince you the South American country is worth visiting, but where to stay? Here’s a selection of some of Chile’s most luxurious places to call home while you explore the country’s many urban and rural delights.

The Singular, Santiago     

Founded by the Spanish in 1541, Santiago is both Chile’s capital and largest city, nestled between the Andes mountain range to the east and the Chilean Coastal Range to the west. Comprised of 26 districts, Santiago is a Chilean gateway and cultural hub for international travellers.

Located in Santiago’s historical central neighbourhood of Barrio Lastarria, The Singular is a 62-room hotel with a neoclassic architectural style and period features.

On the The Singular’s rooftop bar terrace, guests can unwind with a drink while taking in views of the San Cristobal hill. Other amenities include a 24-hour fitness centre, rooftop outdoor pool, casual bar and wine cellar.
