The boutique Palacio Astoreca Hotel opened in September 2012 and since then the hotel and restaurant have been recognized as one of the best in the country, praised by national and international critics alike. The hotel is located in the core of the historical city center in Valparaiso, with views overlooking the magnificent bay. It is in 'Cerro Alegre', just steps from the famous 'Paseo Yugoslavo' and the Barburizza Palace Fine Arts Museum.

The hotel includes 23 rooms, spa, restaurant, wine cellar, bar and a library, housed in two buildings: The palace, a completely restored national heritage building, and an older house, whose original façade has been conserved. Both buildings have thus recovered the style and elegance that they had lost over time.

All of the guest rooms have their original decor, combining the comforts of modernity with old time charm. Guests can choose from among four different categories, with floor plans ranging from 20 to 40m2. From each room, one can see the sea and the port, with its ships scattered around the bay, as well as the characteristic and spectacular hills, with colorful homes during the day and thousands of lights by night. The rooms provide all the amenities necessary for an enjoyable stay.

A video library is available to all of the hotel's guests, featuring national and international films in several languages. The hotel library contains many art and travel books, as well as Chilean and world literature. It is another place where guests can relax, read or play chess by the fire. The library is a quiet corner, far from the everyday hustle and bustle, allowing one to get acquainted with Valparaiso, the harbor and its many tales, or to prepare future travel plans.

There is also a piano lounge bar, wine cellar and restaurant. The Alegre Restaurant provides some of the best avant-garde cuisine accompanied by top quality wines from the best regions and the most exclusive vineyards in Chile, and also from other South American countries.

Art takes on various forms at the Palacio Astoreca. Works by Chilean and foreign contemporary artists enhance the communal areas of the hotel and the rooms in which they are displayed. Astoreca Palace also supports artists in a more concrete way, by inviting them to develop projects in Valparaiso.

The Palacio Astoreca has its own spa to pleasure all of the senses of its guests. Elegant, with its dark slate walls and floor, the spa has a covered temperate swimming pool, hammam (Turkish bath), massage salon and a hot tub, and a typical bath from the south of Chile where the water is heated with wood. It's a magical and welcoming place to relax or enjoy a massage. While one relaxes, guests will have a view to a beautiful vertical garden that climbs to the top of the building, with a view to Valparaiso's sky.

There are also facilities for corporate events, with a meeting room with a maximum capacity of 20 persons, along with the support of the most advanced technical equipment. There are a wide variety of coffee breaks and business lunches offered, ideal for all kinds of events, provided with excellent service to make any meeting a success.

Palacio Astoreca is a perfect place to celebrate weddings and honeymoons. With beautiful rooms finely decorated and the spa, couples will be able to prepare for the event of their lives or relax after the party.
