Courtyard by Marriott Santiago Airport

Courtyard by Marriott Santiago Airport is a Marriott-brand hotel next to Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in the Pudahuel area of Santiago, Chile. It is designed for overnight layovers, early departures and late arrivals, with an airport shuttle that removes the need for a taxi at awkward hours. The airport lies about 15 kilometres west of the city centre, and buses and transfers reach the metro network and the historic centre in roughly 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. Because the surrounding area is industrial and transport-oriented, there are few sights within walking distance, and visitors who plan to explore Santiago usually stay in the centre, Providencia or Lastarria, using the hotel only on the first or last night of a trip. The hotel follows the standard Courtyard design, with a bright lobby, a bistro-style restaurant and a bar, and rooms that emphasise a comfortable bed, a work desk and good soundproofing for guests arriving on overnight flights. Rooms are offered as Standard, Executive and Suite categories with air conditioning and wifi. Facilities include a fitness centre and a pool, and breakfast is served early to suit departing flights. Service is efficient and international, with luggage assistance and quick check-in and check-out. Rates generally range from CLP 100,000 to CLP 190,000 per night, placing the hotel in the upscale tier but below central luxury properties. The hotel is also used by travellers connecting to domestic flights to Patagonia, the Atacama Desert or Easter Island, who benefit from a rested start and an easy transfer to the terminal. Visitors with a full day free in Santiago may consider pairing the hotel with a day tour from the city and returning for the night before an early flight.
