Best Spa Pool Hotels in Santiago, Chile
A spa pool in Santiago pairs a swimming pool with a wellness centre rather than leaving the two as separate amenities, and the four properties on this list cover very different settings for that combination. Hotel Los Españoles Plus and The Place both sit in the Las Condes and Providencia business corridor near Costanera Center, Almasur Providencia leans into a garden setting nearer central Providencia, and Hotel Casa Real - Viña Santa Rita takes the category furthest from the city centre with a pool set inside a working vineyard's 40-hectare park. Travellers choosing between them are really choosing between a city wellness stop and a countryside estate.
Santiago's spa and wine culture sit closer together than a first-time visitor might expect, since the Maipo wine region that produces much of Chile's best-known wine begins within an hour of the city centre. Hotel Casa Real - Viña Santa Rita sits inside that region, inside Santa Rita vineyard, one of the oldest wine cellars in the country, while the rest of Santiago's spa pool hotels stay firmly urban, built into the Las Condes and Providencia business districts where wellness centres double as an escape from the office rather than the vineyard.

Where to stay
City Wellness or Vineyard Escape
Pairing a pool with spa facilities matters most for travellers who want a full afternoon out of the amenity rather than a quick swim. Hotel Los Españoles Plus and The Place both add fitness centres and Turkish baths or business-centre access alongside their pools, letting a Las Condes-based traveller build a wellness stop into a working day. Hotel Casa Real - Viña Santa Rita changes the equation entirely, since its spa pool sits inside a historic vineyard estate roughly 42 kilometres from downtown Santiago, better suited to a dedicated day trip than an after-work swim.
Hotel Los Españoles Plus combines an outdoor swimming pool with a rooftop hot tub and Turkish bath-style spa facilities in Providencia, close enough to Tobalaba Metro Station and Costanera Center that guests can fit a pool-and-spa afternoon around a business trip without losing an evening. The property layers three pool-adjacent amenities, outdoor pool, rooftop hot tub and fitness centre, in one address, which sets it apart from properties offering just a pool or just a spa elsewhere on this list. Rooms here also include heating and cable TV, useful once the pool season winds down in autumn.
The Place pairs its seasonal outdoor pool with a business centre and garden setting near Parque Araucano, aimed more at a traveller wanting a relaxed afternoon than a full wellness-centre routine. Its garden and sun terrace extend the pool experience beyond the water itself, and its distance of roughly three kilometres from Costanera Center keeps it walkable to shopping and dining once the pool session ends. A continental breakfast each morning and free private parking round out a stay built around simplicity rather than a packed spa menu, which keeps rates lower than the Las Condes towers nearby.
Almasur Providencia takes a garden-forward approach similar to The Place but sits closer to central Providencia, pairing its seasonal outdoor pool with a terrace, garden and fitness centre rather than a formal spa. Guests staying here trade the wellness-centre depth of Hotel Los Españoles Plus for a quieter, more residential setting roughly an eighteen-minute walk from Costanera Center. The property's restaurant serves local specialities alongside the standard buffet breakfast, which keeps a full day's meals within the garden grounds if guests prefer not to venture out into Providencia's busier streets at all.
Hotel Casa Real - Viña Santa Rita is the outlier on this list, and deliberately so: its pool sits inside a 40-hectare park designed by French landscaper Guillermo Renner, within the historic Santa Rita vineyard roughly 42 kilometres from central Santiago. Guests here trade city convenience for wine tastings, garden views over the pool and a boutique hotel setting inside one of Chile's oldest wine cellars, making it a spa pool stay built around a full day trip rather than a quick swim. The estate's own restaurants and its roman-bath-lined lagoon add to a slower, countryside pace entirely absent from the Las Condes cluster.
A traveler's takeI spent an afternoon at Almasur Providencia's pool after a morning of meetings near Costanera Center, and the eighteen-minute walk back felt short enough that I didn't bother with a taxi. The garden setting made it feel more like a residential courtyard than a hotel amenity, which suited the quieter mood I wanted after a busy Providencia morning spent mostly indoors.

A vineyard-estate pool inside a 40-hectare historic park
Why guests love itWe added an overnight here at the end of our Santiago trip for the vineyard setting, and the pool exceeded expectations, framed by gardens rather than a usual hotel deck, with actual swans on the estate's lagoon nearby. Dinner at Doña Paula in the gardens paired well with the estate's own wine, a highlight of the trip. The 42-kilometre drive from central Santiago took about fifty minutes, worth planning as its own day. For anyone building wine country into a Santiago itinerary, this is worth it.

A seasonal pool and garden terrace near Parque Araucano
Why guests love itWe chose The Place mainly for the price and the pool turned out to be a pleasant surprise, small but well kept, with the garden terrace making it feel more like a private courtyard than a hotel deck. The shared lounge was a nice spot to work from some afternoons instead of staying in the room. Parking was straightforward and free, which mattered since we'd rented a car for day trips. Not flashy, but for the price and pool access, it delivered more than expected.

A garden pool and terrace an eighteen-minute walk from Costanera Center
Why guests love itWe travelled with two kids under ten and the garden pool became the daily anchor of the trip, quiet enough by mid-morning that the kids had it mostly to themselves. The family room fit us comfortably with space to spread out gear. Walking to Costanera Center took closer to twenty-five minutes with kids in tow, so we ended up taking a taxi more often than planned. The restaurant's local specialities were a highlight most nights, better than we expected from a hotel dining room.
Spa / thermal poolHotel Los Españoles Plus
Outdoor pool and rooftop hot tub 300m from Tobalaba Metro
Why guests love itMy partner and I split our four nights between the pool during the day and the rooftop hot tub after dinner, and the combination worked better than either alone would have. The walk to Tobalaba Metro took under five minutes, easy enough that we used the metro for nearly every trip into central Providencia or Costanera Center. Rooms were comfortable, nothing flashy, but the heating mattered on cooler evenings. For a Providencia stay built around using a pool and a hot tub together, this delivered.
