Hotel Majestic Santiago

Hotel Majestic Santiago is a mid-range hotel at Santo Domingo 1526 in the central district of Santiago, Chile, a short distance from the Mercado Central and the Plaza de Armas. The Cal y Canto metro station on Line 2 is nearby, and the Mapocho River and Parque Forestal lie just to the south and east. The airport is roughly 30 to 40 minutes away by car, with bus connections from the Pajaritos and Centro areas. The hotel is a practical base for visitors who want to be in the middle of the city's markets, churches and museums rather than in the business districts of the east. Room types listed include Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites. The property is known for an outdoor pool courtyard, an unusual feature in the historic centre and welcome in the hot Santiago summer. A restaurant and bar provide dining on site, with breakfast included in many rates, and the Mercado Central's seafood restaurants are a short walk away. A fitness centre is also listed. Service is straightforward and friendly, suited to independent travellers, families and small groups. Rates generally run from about CLP 60,000 to 115,000 per night (roughly USD 65 to 125), which is good value for the location. The surrounding streets are busy and commercial in the daytime and quieter in the evening, so visitors should take taxis late at night rather than walking through less lit areas. The neighbourhood is excellent for early-morning market visits, while evenings are better spent in Lastarria or Bellavista, a short taxi or metro ride away.
