Castillo Rojo Boutique Hotel, or "The Red Castle Hotel," is located in the heart of Bellavista. It is conveniently located near theaters, fine restaurants, and exciting nightlife. The hotel is also close to Pablo Neruda's house. Castillo Rojo offers 19 luxury guest rooms, a wine bar, and two restaurants: La Petanque and Baildo.
The iconic Red Castle, originally built in 1923, was long known as a meeting place for locals and visitors. In 2013, it was lovingly re-imagined as a boutique hotel, with original furniture from the home, restored fireplaces and woodwork, and light fixtures and design elements true to the style of the 1920s.
Bellavista, Santiago’s most lively neighborhood, is renowned for its rich cultural life. It is home to dozens of theaters and art galleries, a wide variety of coffee shops and restaurants, and shops specializing in local arts and crafts and authentic Chilean jewelry. After dark, Bellavista becomes a nightlife destination for live music, exciting bars, and creative cuisine.
Other local attractions include Patio Bellavista and La Chascona, the famous home of poet Pablo Neruda. Santiago Metropolitan Park, also nearby, is the ideal place to spend a sunny day enjoying the pools, zoo, botanical gardens, and the must-see Funicular.
Cerro Santa Lucía, the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts, Barrio Patronato, Barrio Lastarria, and the Chinese Quarter are also within walking distance.
