The Place
A seasonal pool and garden terrace near Parque Araucano
About this hotel
The Place keeps its offering deliberately simple: a seasonal outdoor pool, a garden with sun terrace when the weather allows, and a shared lounge that gives the property a more relaxed feel than the business-focused towers nearby. A business centre and free WiFi cover working needs without turning the hotel into a corporate address, and free private parking removes one common Santiago headache for guests arriving by car. Rooms include kitchen facilities such as a dining table, coffee machine and refrigerator, useful for a longer stay without committing to a full apartment format. The location sits 1.3 kilometres from Parque Araucano and 3.1 kilometres from Costanera Center, with Santiago International Airport roughly 20 kilometres away, keeping the property within reach of both central Las Condes and the airport without being inside the busiest stretch of either.

Our take
This suits travellers wanting a straightforward, moderately priced pool stay near Parque Araucano without the five-star price tag or the full self-catering commitment of an aparthotel. The garden and sun terrace add real value on clear days. Business travellers needing a shorter walk to Costanera Center, or families wanting a larger resort-style pool deck, may find better fits elsewhere on this list.
- ✓Use the garden and sun terrace on clear afternoons; it extends the pool experience beyond just the water.
- ✓Book the free private parking ahead if arriving by car during a busier travel period.
- ✓Take advantage of the room's dining table and coffee machine to cut down on breakfast costs some mornings.

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.
