Our stay at Aubrey Hotel Boutique in Santiago turned out to be one of the highlights of our family trip to Chile. Tucked away in the colourful Bellavista neighbourhood, the hotel felt like a little sanctuary in the middle of the city. We loved being just a short stroll from the funicular up to Cerro San Cristóbal, perfect for a morning adventure with the kids before retreating back to the calm of the hotel.
We stayed in two of the garden suites, and they were just beautiful. High ceilings, original architectural details, and elegant touches made the rooms feel special, while still being cozy enough for us to really relax as a family. The thoughtful modern comforts, like the jacuzzi bathtub, were a real treat, especially after a long day of walking around Santiago’s markets and museums.
The kids were absolutely thrilled with the rooftop pool. Floating in the water while gazing out at the neighbourhood rooftops was such a memorable moment. For us parents, it was also the perfect spot to sit back with a drink in hand and soak up the afternoon sun.
We also fell in love with the public spaces at Aubrey. From quiet mornings with coffee in the leafy courtyard, to late afternoons sipping cocktails in the cozy lounge, the hotel always had a little corner that felt just right. The gardens and terraces were especially inviting and we often found ourselves lingering there longer than planned, just enjoying the calm atmosphere before heading back out to explore.
In short, Aubrey Hotel Boutique felt less like a hotel and more like a welcoming home base, full of charm, warmth, and character. It was the perfect balance of family-friendly comfort and grown-up elegance, and we would go back in a heartbeat.
