Hotel Plaza San Francisco

Hotel Plaza San Francisco is a central upscale hotel at Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins 816, on the Alameda in Santiago, Chile, facing the colonial Iglesia de San Francisco. The location is one of the most convenient in the city for sightseeing: Universidad de Chile and Santa Lucia metro stations are minutes on foot, Cerro Santa Lucia and the Lastarria district are close, and Plaza de Armas is a short walk to the northwest. The hotel is a long-established name in the centre, with a traditional upscale character and a blend of classic and contemporary interiors. Rooms are offered as Superior, Executive and Suite categories, with business-ready desks and wifi, and many have views over the Alameda or the church. On the upper floors, guests find a pool and spa, which provide a welcome retreat after a day of walking, along with a fitness center. A restaurant and bar serve breakfast and international dishes, with breakfast a regular component of many rates. The service character is business-oriented but welcoming to leisure travellers, with a concierge able to arrange city tours, wine-valley excursions and airport transfers. Rates generally run from CLP 95,000 to 190,000 per night. The Alameda is a busy artery, so rooms facing the avenue can be noisy and visitors sensitive to traffic may prefer an interior or higher-floor room. The surrounding streets are active by day and quieter after dark, and visitors usually take a short walk or taxi to Lastarria for dinner. The property suits travellers who want central access and upper-floor spa facilities.
