Hotel Fundador

Hotel Fundador is a mid-range hotel at Paseo Serrano 34 in the historic centre of Santiago, Chile, a block or two from Plaza de Armas and the Metropolitan Cathedral. The location is among its strongest assets: the Museo Historico Nacional, the Correo Central, the Mercado Central and Cerro Santa Lucia are all within a short walk, and the metro network is easy to reach, making the property convenient for first-time visitors who are not renting a car. The building is a classic city-centre hotel with a traditional, practical character rather than boutique styling. Rooms are offered as Single, Double and Suite categories, equipped with air conditioning and wifi, and generally pitched at value-conscious leisure and business guests. On-site facilities include a restaurant and bar, along with a rooftop pool, a welcome feature in the summer heat of the capital. Breakfast is commonly included in rates and is the main meal served for many guests. The service character is straightforward and helpful, with front desk staff accustomed to giving directions and tour recommendations for the centre and day trips to the coast and wine valleys. Rates typically run between CLP 70,000 and 130,000 per night. The area is busy and animated during business hours and quieter in the evening and on Sundays, so visitors seeking nightlife usually take a short taxi or walk to Lastarria or Bellavista. Standard urban precautions with belongings apply, particularly in crowded pedestrian streets nearby.
