DoubleTree by Hilton Santiago Kennedy — Hotel in Vitacura

My husband and me stayed here for four nights. We wanted to see Santiago before and after going to Vina Del Mar for one week during our winter holiday at home. The staff in the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The waiter, Mr. Mauro, served us for breakfast and dinner and he was very kind and professional. We even could speak German with each other since we do not speak Spanish. The staff in the reception was polite and understanding when we discovered that we had booked for the wrong month. They helped us to make a new reservation and we got the money back from hotels.com. That was very nice of them since we were exhausted after 1,5 day of traveling from Oslo Norway. ||We enjoyed the breakfast buffet with many choices of healthy food. The view from the restaurant was fantastic. The room was clean and large and the beds perfect for our taste. The gym was clean and well equipped with enough space on the floor to do exercises on the mat. I wished they had more manuals between four to 25 kilos. That would be easy to get. Either the manuals were to heavy or too light. |The hotel has a very nice pool area with sunbeds. I would suggest they buy five - six more beds since many people had to lie on the hard floor and there were more space. The waiters served cold drinks and delicious smoothies. Sorry to say but the sandwiches we ordered at the pool were dry and tasteless. That was disappointing. Some of the staff did not speak English but then we used google translate. We really could recommend this hotel. And it was easy to get uber transportation to the places we...

We spent 2 nights/3 days here before boarding our Viking cruise. Highly recommend! Val at the front desk managed to get us us an early check in, which was much appreciated after we flew overnight from the US. Room was modern and comfortable with a GREAT view. We were surprised and thankful there was a USB and a 110v plug as we brought the wrong converter … would have been a real problem if we couldn’t charge our devices! |The restaurant on the 17th floor was excellent, both for the food, the service and the wonderful view of Santiago’s financial district and surrounding parks. We ate breakfast there each morning and had drinks on the shaded patio before dinner each night. Ask for the hard copy menu in English if your Spanish is as rusty as mine. |If you want to keep up your exercise, you can use the hotel gym OR the long, wide path that goes through the city that is right outside the hotel front door. Not sure how long it is (just did 3 miles) but bring your sunscreen as it is not shaded. |Just across the street from the hotel is a building called CV Galeria. It has about 8-9 restaurants / bars across three levels, all with outdoor seating. Great options for dinner after a busy day touring Santiago with no Uber ride required! |One tip: contact the hotel ahead of time to arrange a pickup at the airport. It will save you time and angst trying to navigate the airport and choose unknown transport… great to have a guy from the hotel holding up a sign with your name! |In summary: great centrally located hotel in...
