José Nogueira hotel has 22 rooms, including five suites, exquisitely decorated with all the services and comforts of a grand hotel. For its operation, the hotel restored an old mansion that has been declared a National Monument. The available spaces were adapted so that the building's structure would not be changed; therefore, all the rooms are not exactly the same. It's the perfect place to start your Chile tour!
For this reason, some rooms are bigger than others, but each one acquires its own personality and characteristics, and all have a high level of comfort. This specialty of Hotel Jose Nogueira is extended to all of the guests, each one receiving completely personalized attention, far from the service that usually surrounds us.
The José Nogueira hotel has two dining rooms, and the Pergola winter garden dining room. The first two contain the original furniture, lamps, and curtains of the mansion, and in the Pergola, you can dine, enjoying the long summer days, with daylight until 11 PM. The quality of the meals has received praise in specialized magazines. Here, you can taste both typical Patagonian and international dishes.
History
Right in the middle of downtown is located one of the oldest buildings of the entire Patagonia, the centenary-old mansion formerly owned by Don José Nogueira and Doña Sara Braun, two characters who “wrote” the history of Patagonia. Don José Nogueira, of Portuguese origin and a sailor by profession, was the most successful of the Patagonian pioneers. He amassed a grand fortune during the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1890, ordered the construction of a splendid mansion in the middle of downtown Punta Arenas.
The mansion became one of the most outstanding symbols of the city, and in 1982, it was declared a National Monument, therefore prohibiting its modification. In 1992, it was established as a small and exclusive hotel, which had the privilege of being chosen by His Majesty, King Juan Carlos of Spain, as his temporary residence during his visit to Punta Arenas in 2004. And in January of 2007 The Princess Ana of England also lodged in the hotel.
