Hotel Bidasoa is a spotless mid-range boutique hotel that’s close to designer shops lining the stylish Alonso de Cordova street. Unfortunately, it’s far from the city center, but there’s a bus stop nearby. Its 35 guest rooms feel a touch simple with plain wood and trendy wallpaper, but overall they have a calm, airy design and amenities that include flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and minibars. The hotel’s standout feature is its outdoor garden, which includes a seasonal pool and patio seating for its restaurant and bar. Though it lacks an on-site gym, the hotel provides discounted passes to a nearby fitness center. Travelers could also consider the similarly priced Hotel Plaza El Bosque Park, which has two restaurants, a pool and hot tub, game room, and on-site gym and spa, though it's also a ways from top attractions.

The 133-room Kennedy Hotel is an upper-middle-range business property located in pleasant Las Condes, across the road from famous Arauco Mall but a 20-minute drive from major attractions in central Santiago. Rooms are a tad plain but clean and comfortable, with quality beds, spacious bathrooms with shower/tub combos, free Wi-Fi, and minibars. There are indoor and outdoor pools (both small), as well as a well-equipped fitness center with a sauna. The restaurant serves a well-reviewed international menu in a light-filled space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a cozy terrace. Breakfast, though somewhat basic, is tasty and free. For a little bit more money, the Best Western Premier Marina Las Condes is more modern and offers easy walking access to the Metro.

From the outside, the Bonaparte Hotel resembles a grand old mansion -- until you look another direction and see the clearly renovated portions that stick out sorely from the building's historical style. Inside, the decor is a hodgepodge of styles as well -- some good, some bad. Everything else at Bonaparte follows that same ho-hum theme. The pool is located in a pretty courtyard but is more decorative than functional. Rooms are decently outfitted with comfy-enough beds and flat-screen TVs, but the decor has little personality. The location is generally desirable, but the distance from public transport is a detractor.
