Following a meticulous two-year total renovation of a 1929 mansion in Santiago’s historic downtown, now Hotel Magnolia can find at the city center a world class hotel: Hotel Magnolia.
The 42-room hotel is the first of its kind in the city’s “El Centro” neighborhood: a seamless fusion of the city’s past and its future, offering historic beauty together with luxe accommodations, a gourmet restaurant, and a pitch-perfect location at the foot of the Cerro Santa Lucia hilltop park.
Award-winning architect Cazú Zegers and interior decorator Carolina Delpiano rescued intricate details of the heritage building, creating an amalgam of the old and new, with marble staircases, antique armoires and stained-glass windows contrasted against ultramodern light fixtures, steel-and-wire walkways, and geometric furnishings.
In a nod to the timelessly elegant aesthetics of downtown Santiago’s early 20th-century architecture, Zegers and Delpiano favored noble materials such as bronze for the main reception desk and the hotel bar, and replicated the building’s original harlequin tiled floors with marble.
Plentiful common areas include a library and long oak table for travelers to work and socialize.
Hotel Magnolia was originally built as a family home for Doña Ana Zegers García Huidobro, the daughter of the Chilean politician Julio Zegers Samaniego, by the then-famous architect Eduardo Costabal Zegers.
The home became a cradle of intellectual and political debates in the early and mid 20th century, until it was sold and divided into apartments, and later office units.
In a coincidental turn, architect Zegers was offered the project without having first realized the distant family connections of the original owners. “It was a very special experience working on a project whose original design was created by one of my ancestors,” says Zegers.
At the Magnolia Hotel nothing is random, every detail has been thought to deliver the best experience to the guests.
Guest rooms are individually sized but are categorized as superior and junior suites, and all are defined by clean lines and neutral tones, light-colored wood surfaces and soft-lighting, as a cozy refuge of calm and restfulness.
All 42 rooms offer comforts like pillowtop beds and premium bedding, plus free WiFi and flat-screen TVs with cable channels. Guests will also find minibars, room service, and coffee makers.
The Junior Suites are located on the 4th, 5th and 6th floors, and come with an additional seating area; some rooms boast exterior balconies with views. Junior Suites measure 45 square meters, and are perfect for those guests who require a bit of additional space.
Quiet, calm rooms have double-paned windows and comfort details such as thick robes and high-quality mattresses topped with feather beds.
The rooms, newly added to the antique building, are lined in blond wood and were designed to be cozy yet uncluttered spaces that
provide travelers with a respite after touring the city all day, or for business travelers seeking to unwind after a day of meetings.
Junior suites have an additional seating area for resting or reading.
Spacious bathrooms wth plenty of counter space come with high-end toiletries, hair dryers, international electric sockets, and fixtures individually designed by local artists, such as the bathroom sinks and shower door handles.
Located on all floors including the antique part of the hotel on the 2nd and 3rd floors, many of the Superior Rooms are seamless fusions of the historic with modern Chile.
Each room measures between 26 and 35 square meters, and comes with a king bed or two twins.
Some rooms are completely enveloped in light wood, others feature the crown molding and stained glass windows that remind the guests of the building's yesteryear.
Soft lighting, high-end amenities and toiletries, and double-paned windows offer quiet comfort.
The Magnolia Kitchen presents a weekly changing menu using seasonal and fresh ingredients. The Chef delights guests with his
modern takes on Chilean cuisine and the creative use of Chilean ingredients, which will awaken your palate and your senses.
