The beautiful architecture and decor make it an elegant and romantic spot for both weddings and larger events. Located on top of Santa Lucia hill, there is little space for car parking, but there are the possibility of renting buses. This space is very large and can fit about 200 people, so keep that in mind when organizing your event (because when a space is too large and there are not enough attendees to fill it out, the elegance of the hall can be lost). This is also THE place to celebrate New Years Eve each year in Santiago. Although somewhat expensive, there is an open bar before 12am and tons of dancing (Castillo Hidalgo has a great dance floor). It is also broken up into a VIP section and 3 other dance areas (the VIP spot is where it is at as there is not as long of a line to get drinks and the dance floor is less crowded up there). Just remember to pick up your tickets in advance before the cheaper admission is sold out. My favorite spot in Castillo Hidalgo is the large patio - a perfect place to hang out and take a breather during an event in the summer. Overall, a great space with elegance and style.

Great place to dance, there's music for every taste: salsa, merengue, bachata, regueton, etc…read more Price is 10.000 Chilean pesos and if you go before 1 am you enter for free :)
