Best time to Visit
Good time to visit
Average time to visit
Santiago is a year-round destination but the most pleasant months to visit are October to April. Although summer (November to April) is hot, breezes disperse the smog that shrouds the city for most of the year and there is lots of sunshine. Over winter (June to September) you’ll see the Andes wreathed in snow and can ski nearby, but the weather is chilly and rain can be an issue. Spring-like September is Chile's national independence month, and is full of activity.

The Mandarin Oriental Santiago (formerly Grand Hyatt) is located in an exclusive residential neighbourhood of Chile's cosmopolitan capital, 20 minutes from the city centre and one hour’s drive from the most important ski resorts and the coastline. Each of the 310 elegant and chic rooms and suites command spectacular views of the city and the majestic Andes Mountain Range beyond. The rooms are larger than average and have separate comfortable seating areas.

Activities
There is plenty to keep guests busy at the Grand Hyatt, with its pool, gym, fitness centre, spa and tennis courts, plus one of the most exclusive golf clubs in Santiago just a few steps away. Guests can also explore downtown Santiago, with its many interesting museums, take an excursion to a vineyard in the Central Valley wine region or visit the historic town of Valparaíso.
Reviews
(Press)
If the Ritz is old-world glamour, the Hyatt is pure nouveau riche and, not surprisingly for one of the Hyatt's flagship hotels, the amenities are without peer. The expansive foyer surrounds a 24-story atrium tower with two adjacent wings and glass elevators that whisk guests up to their split-level rooms and terraced suites. Nestling among tranquil, colourful gardens, there is a large palm-and-fern-fringed pool complete with a plunging waterfall and poolside bar. Guests in suites enjoy their own 16th-floor private lounge for lingering over breakfast and soaking up the spectacular view. With all manner of sporting activities on hand and the best gym/spa of any hotel in Santiago, the Hyatt is a joy for weary travelers keen to devote themselves to serious relaxation and pampering. Should you choose to leave, however, you'll need to take a taxi because the location at the head of a crazy traffic loop makes it difficult to walk anywhere from here.
