The 240-room Atton Hotel El Bosque is an upper-middle-range business property located in the financial district, near Tobalaba metro stop, and walking distance to a few attractions. Although overall generic, rooms are clean and comfortable, with free Wi-Fi, minibars, flat-screen TVs, and air-conditioning. The unheated rooftop pool offers panoramic city views, as does the gym, which features a good array of slightly older machines, but no free weights. Breakfast is included in all room rates, but some guests have complained that it lacks variety, and the restaurant's Chilean-Peruvian menu is just average. Meeting space, on-site parking, and a business center are all good perks for business travelers. Travelers looking to stay closer to the city center may want to compare rates at Hotel Fundador, though the pool there is tiny.

The 19-room Hotel Boutique Castillo Rojo (“red castle”) occupies a bright red 1920s home that was transformed into a boutique hotel in 2013. It’s appropriately situated in the artsy, bohemian Bellavista neighborhood, around the corner from restaurants, shops, bars, and nightlife. This small, upscale property features a charming restaurant with indoor and outdoor space, serving free breakfast, plus lunch, dinner, and drinks. There’s also a big lounge with free coffee, snacks, and nightly wine tastings. But the real draw here is the eccentric, 1920s ambiance, with dark wood walls, velvety couches, and vintage accents everywhere. Individually decorated rooms continue in this style with a few more contemporary details, including modern amenities like minibars and flat-screen TVs. Guests will have to do without a gym or an elevator, though. Those hunting for romantic boutique spots could also consider The Aubrey, which offers a pool.

The stylish 179-room Hotel Plaza El Bosque Park was built with the modern business traveler in mind. Located along El Bosque Avenue in Las Condes, it is surrounded by banks, stores, commercial buildings, and restaurants. Each of the cozy rooms is sleekly decorated and comes with LCD flat-screen TVs, wired and Wi-Fi internet access, and in-room safes. (Upgrade from standard to executive for a small but handy kitchen). The grander accommodations, such as the Presidential suite, are much more spacious and come with luxuries such as a separate dining room. For a quick bite, guests can grab a midday snack or cocktail in the lobby bar. Or, for a more formal occasion, the hotel has two on-site restaurants that offer nice views and Chilean cuisine. Other perks include a game room with pool and card games, a heated pool and Jacuzzi, sauna, spa, and a large fitness center -- all helpful in unwinding after a day at work (or touring the sites).

Everything in the 125-room Radisson Ciudad Empresarial Santiago has an updated look, from the chic lobby to the swanky wine bar. The rooms are large, bright, and modern with flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, and the bathrooms are pristine (with waffle-comb robes). The furniture also makes them a good place to get work done (there are even bathroom phones). If you're looking for ample space, the suites are truly something else: They have the look of a trendy Manhattan apartment and huge a patio.

NH Ciudad de Santiago is located in Providencia, a block from a metro line that can transport guests to the nearby areas of downtown Santiago and Las Condes. It suits both tourists and business travelers, as it’s close to art galleries, corporate offices, bars, and boutiques.

The Departamentos Amoblados Costa Nueva de Lyon, like its sister property in central Santiago, is a unique option for travelers seeking full-service, contemporary apartments. Some of the units are occupied by permanent residents, giving visitors a chance to experience the city just like the locals do -- and a great opportunity to gather travel advice when bumping into neighbors.

Guests have the same privileges as the permanent ones: access to all public areas, including the fabulous rooftop outdoor pool and terrace that boasts city and mountain views.

Travelers seeking a budget stay in central Santiago will be happy to stumble upon BMB Suites. The apartment-style rooms may be nothing to write home about as far as decor and furnishings are concerned, but they're comfortable enough and feature kitchenettes -- a handy way to save money on a few meals. A rooftop pool, though small, provides excellent views of the city -- and has cool underwater windows into the fitness center. There are four Jacuzzis for colder temperatures, and a sauna for some post sightseeing relaxation. There's no main reception desk -- keys are handed off by a security guard -- but overall it's a decent budget option for travelers.

RQ Providencia is part of the RQ Hotel group, a chain that operates six other apartment-style establishments in Santiago. It's located in Providencia, surrounded by high-rise apartments. The property's 56 units are more like small studio-sized apartments or college dorm rooms than hotel suites. Each is clean and comfy, and comes with fully equipped kitchenettes, free Internet access, separate living room areas, and work desks. The decor throughout is simple, yet modern, with bright and warm hues blended together tastefully. Guests should be forewarned, however, that even though they may book a room here, their reservation is not guaranteed; in fact, RQ has been known to move guests to its other RQ properties in Santiago without prior notice upon check-in.
