Hotel Las Majadas: A Fairy-Tale Palace in the Maipo Valley

Hotel Las Majadas is one of the most romantic hotels in Chile, a fairy-tale 1908 palace built for a wealthy Basque businessman and set within a vast park laid out by a French landscape architect, in Pirque at the foot of the Andes in the Maipo Valley wine region, a short drive from Santiago. Restored to its belle-époque splendour, it is a serene, storybook retreat.

The dining is refined and local. The Sequoia Restaurant serves contemporary, seasonal Chilean haute cuisine with the finest local wines under chef Marcelo Saldaña; and the century-old La Taberna Bar and the Piano Bar pour Maipo Valley wines and cocktails to live music.

For a grand, storybook stay near Santiago, Las Majadas is a standout.
