Hotel Cumbres Lastarria

Hotel Cumbres Lastarria sits at Cerro Santa Lucia 299 on the slopes of Santa Lucia hill, in the Lastarria neighbourhood of central Santiago, Chile. Lastarria is one of the capital's most pleasant districts for walking, with cobbled streets, independent cafes, bookshops, galleries and the Gabriela Mistral cultural centre close by. The hotel is within walking distance of the Universidad Catolica metro station, which connects quickly to the rest of the city, and it is a short stroll from the Parque Forestal, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Plaza de Armas. The property is a boutique-scale hotel that blends contemporary design with its setting beside the hill, and it is best known for a rooftop pool and terrace with views over the old city and the surrounding rooftops, with the Andes visible on clear days. Rooms are offered as Standard, Superior and Junior Suite categories, with modern bathrooms, air conditioning and wifi. On-site amenities include a restaurant and bar, the rooftop pool and a fitness centre. The restaurant serves Chilean and international dishes, and breakfast is a main draw for guests who want to start the day before exploring the neighbourhood on foot. Service is personal and attentive, in keeping with the smaller scale of the property, and staff can advise on nearby restaurants, wine bars and routes up Santa Lucia hill, whose stairways, gardens and viewpoints begin almost at the hotel door. Rates typically range from CLP 125,000 to CLP 230,000 per night, placing it in the upscale tier, and the combination of location, views and pool makes it popular with couples, culture-focused visitors and short-stay travellers who prefer a walkable base. Because Lastarria is lively in the evenings, rooms facing the street may pick up some noise at weekends, and light sleepers may prefer upper floors or courtyard-facing rooms.
