Hotel Las Majadas
Pirque, Chile · Independent · Core Luxury
In 1905 the children of Francisco Subercaseaux commissioned Alberto Cruz Montt to surprise their father with a French-style palace in Pirque. It opened in 1907 in an 8.5-hectare park laid out by Guillermo Renner. Julio Nieto, a farmer from the Aconcagua, bought the estate in 1928, and the street out front still carries his son's name. Wenceslao Casares found the palace in 2006, joined Pablo Bosch, and in 2016 opened Hotel Las Majadas: 50 rooms in a new building on the park, the palace kept for gatherings, Sequoia at dinner, and Kura for the spa.

History
The Las Majadas parcel in Pirque passed to Francisco Subercaseaux Vicuna, son of Ramon Subercaseaux Mercado. In 1905 Francisco's children commissioned architect Alberto Cruz Montt to design a French-style palace as a surprise, and Guillermo Renner planned the 8.5-hectare park. The palace was inaugurated in 1907. Julio Nieto, an agriculturalist from the Aconcagua Valley, bought it in 1928. His son José Julio Nieto Espinola and Elvira Varas Montt made it their home. In 2006 Argentine entrepreneur Wenceslao Casares found the estate, later partnered with Pablo Bosch, and opened Hotel Las Majadas in 2016 after restoring the palace and building new guest rooms. Guests sleep in that contemporary hotel, 50 rooms looking onto the park. The palace is used for gatherings. Sequoia is the restaurant, and Kura is the spa.
