Hotel Boutique Castillo Rojo

From your first glimpse of Castillo Rojo, you’ll know this boutique hotel promises something out-of-the-ordinary. Built in the 1920s, the Red Castle’s fantastical façade captures the creative energy of that era. Historic Tudor panelling, classical arches and Spanish colonial touches come together to create a bold statement on a peaceful plaza in the heart of bohemian Bellavista.

Inside, there are just as many surprises. From a hacienda-style entranceway, you ascend up to a luxurious lounge. With velvet sofas, wood panelling and crystal chandeliers, it makes a deliciously decadent setting for a coffee or cocktail. Continuing to the upper floors, the authentically designed rooms and suites set a more soothing tone. Each one is individually decorated in warm, natural shades and materials, with carefully selected furnishings that include some vintage pieces.

Start your day with fresh pastries from the bistro, before stepping out to explore Santiago. Bellavista is home to must-see sites such as La Chascona – Pablo Neruda’s villa – and a thriving creative scene of galleries and craft shops. Go further afield on a tour organised by the hotel to explore beautiful landscapes and Chile’s world-famous vineyards. Then return to Castillo Rojo for a glass or two of wine and authentic Chilean dishes served in a sun-dappled courtyard. 

Please be aware that there is no elevator at this hotel.
