History
W Santiago opened in 2009 as the W brand’s luxury lifestyle hotel in Santiago’s El Golf district, inside the mixed-use Boulevard Kennedy / Santiago Marriott tower. Marriott’s current property pages describe the hotel as a bold, design-forward address with 196 rooms, signature dining, and a rooftop bar overlooking the city and Andes. The guestroom design is attributed to Tony Chi and Sergio Echeverria, while the underlying tower is credited on Wikipedia to Amunátegui, Barró, Ugarte & Associates and was completed in 1999. The hotel’s distinctive identity comes from its high-rise urban setting, restaurant-led food-and-beverage program, and rooftop social spaces.
The setting
In El Golf, Las Condes, on the Boulevard Kennedy / Isidora Goyenechea stretch. Bellavista is the other night. This is the east-side business pocket.
