Ismael Hotel on Postcard

"Overlooking a quiet, cobbled street and the leafy Parque Forestal—a charming city park inspired by its Parisian counterparts—this modern boutique hotel opened in October 2013, becoming one of the latest additions to Santiago ’s bohemian Lastarria neighborhood. There are many more hotels opening in this burgeoning “barrio,” including the Singular Santiago, which opened its doors in October 2014. Guest rooms in this tall, thin building are spread throughout nine floors, while communal areas include a basement restaurant, street-level café and lounge, and rooftop terrace with great views of Cerro San Cristóbal, as well as a modest-sized pool. With its monochrome color scheme and modern artwork, Ismael 312 wouldn’t look out of place in New York's Meatpacking District. The original artwork includes a stylized map in the entrance lobby, and a mural by Chilean artist Ramuntcho Matta, which creeps up the wall from the lobby, spreading up all nine floors. Breakfast is continental with croissants and coffee, plus a good assortment of newspapers. Tables spill out onto the patio, so guests can watch the world go by."

Very nice contemporary hotel in a great location. Despite being in the city centre the noise was minimal. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. The room had a modern decor, it was very clean with an extremely comfortable bed. A good variety of food for breakfast.

Hotel Ismael is a really cosy hotel with great location. They offer hotel pickup and airport drop off, and we even got complimentary breakfasts every morning. Staff are also very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Diego for his cheerful smiles everytime he sees us! Once again, thank you to Hotel Ismael, our stay in Santiago was wonderful!! :)

Wonderful hotel: great location, fabulously helpful and welcoming staff, comfortable, clean room, interesting decor. Truly great!! Walking distance to great restaurant (try Bocanáriz) and metro (very easy to ride). Near park and easy walk to biggest urban park in South America (San Cristobal hill). Easy walk to precolombian museum which was great too

This place is AWESOME! I am on my third night here and everything is perfect. A cute boutique hotel in a super location (sights and restaurants are nearby), neat clean rooms, great staff, EXCELLENT included breakfast, good WiFi. Has a nice park on one side. I have nothing but praise for this hotel. Also: They got me in my room before 10 am after an early-morning flight. Normal checkin is 3! Update: Now on the 7th day of my second stay. On my departure day I have a late flight and they are letting me use the room until 3 pm! The entire staff are the nicest people in town! Also, I reiterate that the location is super: near sights, many fun eateries and two different metro stations. This place is so great I may never go home.

We stayed here twice. Very warm welcome. Comfortable room. Wonderful breakfast. We even left our luggage here for a week for our return stay. The luggage guy was easy to deal with. He did not even want to keep our tip. We bothered him several times for stuff in our luggage. No problem. Easy walk to markets, restaurants, and some museums. Would definitely stay again!!

Excellent hotel! My friend and I stayed at Ismael at the beginning of our vacation to Chile and at the end for two nights each. Diego at the front desk was very helpful and staff is excellent! The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The hotel is also close to a lot of the highlights of Santiago like La Moneda Palace, so for people who want to be in close proximity to those areas, this hotel is a great option!

Hotel Ismael Is much better than being home!! We stayed here for a second time while attending the International Bee Convention in Santiago... First of all the staff makes me feel ...okay I have to say it....at home. Seriously. everything is quiet. It helps that we are on the Park side of the hotel. But I doubt it's too different on the street side, and the neighborhood is not crazy loud. Ismael is near the Bella's Artes, subways, theaters....It is near GAM...a great entertainment and musuem center. It is in a neighborhood that is lively, full of artists and great restaurants. Museums. And the park is full of families and well behaved dogs..(and remember, they're dogs!). The staff, (the staff!!!) and in particular, Diego, is over the top in skill and support for whatever you request. each of them are attentive, and pleasant.... They are also fun and lively without being Solicitous. If that's the right word. The room service, laundry service...is efficient ....and the overall ambiance is quiet and beautiful. I should add that I spent 25 years as a professional Interior Designer. I pay attention to detail. Like sound attenuation, simple, neutral color, and great materials. I could add more...but simply put, it's the most relaxed, well tuned environment one could ask for on a vacation, as well as work related visit. Bravo, Ismael. I salute your staff, and your environment!

This place is like the definition of "charming but affordable boutique hotel." The neighborhood is lively with plenty of outdoor seating at cafes and restaurants a few blocks away landing an exciting buzz, while leaving the actual hotel quiet and calm, with a park just across the street. The staff are warm, friendly, and exceedingly helpful. The interior is beautiful, with books of art displayed on shelves in the lobby, and a mural on a wall spanning eight floors, and a spacious breakfast area, accompanying roomy rooms with beautiful views.

This hotel is VERY conveniently located in Santiago. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly (even tho my Spanish is terrible). Our room had a small balcony overlooking one of the parks. The hotel is at a walking distance from many of the parks and sightseeing spots in Santiago. Also, it was very easy to commute to from the airport. Our stay included breakfast which was a variety of baked goods, cold cut meats, eggs cooked to order and coffee (espresso and drip). They also put out snacks (cookies and fruit) in the afternoon in the back lobby along with coffee and tea, which is a great amenity.

Great location and fabulous Customer Service. Guiseppe, Renaldo, Lucas, Diego, Joaquin, Andres and Leonardo are AWESOME. My wife and I have enjoyed the Park Views, the friendly smiles, the comfortable room, 9th floor pool, etc make this a great choice...but being situated near Bella Vista and Bella Lastarria with neighborhood walking, people watching, shops and outdoor dining make it a perfect location to explore Santiago.

New hotel located on Ismael Valdez and also facing Parque Forestal. Designed with an urban touch, Hotel Ismael offers a little more than your average skyrise hotel. Walk inside and you're in a cute little coffee shop where you can enjoy an artisanal coffee. The coffee shop and downstairs restaurant are open to both the hotel guests and the public. Everything from the drawings on the wall to the modern lights have an urban sophisticated look. The rooms are spacious however not the most impressive I have seen they are comfortable but not luxurious. The hotel seems marketed for someone traveling on business rather than a couple on a romantic getaway. In fact the hotel has everything a busy traveler needs, cafe, restaurant and lounge. Their rooftop pool is charming and designed for a quick afternoon dip to cool off. They have a multilingual staff that cater to their guests in a professional and kind manner.
