The Aubrey

The Aubrey is a boutique hotel at Constitucion 299 in the Bellavista area of Santiago, Chile, occupying a restored 1920s mansion at the foot of Cerro San Cristobal. Bellavista is the city's bohemian quarter, known for Patio Bellavista, street art, theatres and lively restaurants, and the funicular to San Cristobal hill is a short walk from the door. Baquedano and Bellas Artes metro stations are within walking distance, and the airport is about 30 to 40 minutes by car. The building's period architecture, with high ceilings and an interior courtyard and garden, gives it a calm, residential feel that contrasts with the busy streets outside. Room types listed include Superior Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Suites, many with design touches that blend original features with contemporary furnishings. Dining includes an on-site restaurant and bar, often used by non-guests, and breakfast is typically served in the courtyard or garden when the weather allows. A courtyard pool and a spa add to the sense of retreat, and the garden is a notable feature in a neighbourhood with limited green space. Service is personal and unhurried, with staff able to arrange tours of the hill, the city and nearby wine regions. Rates generally run from about CLP 160,000 to 280,000 per night (roughly USD 170 to 300). Bellavista has a busy nightlife scene, so rooms facing the street can pick up noise at weekends, and visitors who value quiet should ask for a garden-facing room. The area is best explored on foot, with the Mapocho River, Barrio Patronato and Lastarria all within a 15 to 25 minute walk.
