Brand-spanking new in July 2009, the much-awaited W Hotel (the first of its kind in South America) has caused a roar among the city’s hipsters. Overlooking the grassy Plaza Peru with sweeping views of the mountains and skyline, the W’s huge rooms exude coolness and comfort. Hang out by the rooftop pool and fitness center, which turns into a bar as the sun goes down. Sip on dozens of Chile’s finest wines in the Wine Bar dispenser. A place to be seen, hang out, and soak up the vibe—in Santiago style of course.
