There is a bar and a lot of outside seating. What was great about Fauna Hotel was the view! So beautiful. You can enjoy a drink and look out onto the water. I bet it is just as beautiful here at night. There isn't much else I can say about Fauna Hotel because I just drank beer and enjoyed my company. I posted some photos to share! THE TIPS: Hours of operation are Monday to Sunday 1:00pm to unes a domingo desde las 13:00 hasta las 10:30.

What does make a hangover better? -lots of espresso My favorite thing about this terrace restaurant, though, are the performers who come by and randomly play a trio of songs. That turned out to be the best hangover cure of all. So there I was, hunched over a tiny cup of coffee, when this woman's voice pierced my heart cavity. It was accompanied by the soft percussion sounds of a bunch of clams. Yes, you read that right. One guy in her band was playing the freakin' clams as a percussion instrument. Who knew they could make such a beautiful sound? Anyway, the vocalist sang Tu Falta de Querer with so much passion I looked up the song afterwards and have been listening to it since. These unexpected occurrences are what make Valparaiso a truly magical city. Dammit, take me back. Why am I typing on a computer right now?!

Food Brunch is served smorgasbord style on Sundays from 1pm - 4pm and offers a mix of both cold and hot items. Honestly, there weren't any *breakfast* foods to choose from so most of the items are lunch entrees. We had a variety of breads, meats, cheeses, salmon, steak, cold seafood, ceviche, a salad bar, and a dessert bar with a variety of mini desserts. Brunch also includes unlimited champagne (but not other cocktails or even other wines). While this wasn't offered, we asked for a large glass of orange juice (and it was fresh squeezed!) and made our own mimosas. All of this does not come cheaply, brunch is 30,000 CLP per person. Atmosphere/decor The dining room is lovely (white tablecloth kind of place) overlooking the outdoor patio and ocean. Really great ambiance with a DJ playing music during brunch as well. Service Service was great - actually the best I've had in Chile. Servers were attentive and kept our champagne topped off. Recommendation While pricey, it's a nice experience. If the price is off putting you can go to the outdoor patio bar and order a cocktail or coffee and enjoy the views and ambiance for much less.

Walking in one finds an open, clean, modern dining area with lots of light. There is a long, full stocked bar and pleasant views of the neighborhood and lush atrium. Wonderful white wine, appetizer of fresh salad with ham, beans, calamari, all sorts of wonderful veggies and fresh fresh fresh local ingredients! We also got the grilled octopus, which I swear, was one of the more incredible dining experiences! Their menu changes with the fresh ingredients they have access to. On our visit, they had 3 dishes with white fish, a beef dish, a duck dish and a pasta of gnocchi. My whitefish was served on a bed of creamed white beans and kale with a wonderful spicy sauce. It was tender, delicious and truly inspired. My friend got another whitefish dish with polenta. He thought it was fantastic, and I had a taste. honestly, as good as his was, I was happier with mine! For desert came an interesting cheesecake. It wasn't the traditional sweet cheesecake, but served on a traditional crust with a delicate creamy cheese filling and fresh fruit. We also got the fresh fruit torte with Murta, a Chilean very rare berry and topped with handmade quince ice cream. It was light and flavorful with a great crust. Following our meal, I thoroughly enjoyed their specialty drink, the 'espiritu santo', a gin drink with fresh juices of lime and grapefruit juice, a simple syrup and served over ground ice in a martini glass. Oh, so good! The whole meal with wine and drinks was $120 US. It was a great value and well worth the money for this inspired menu made with fresh local ingredients and warm, personal service. The staff were warm, friendly, able to speak English well enough to help me order and prompt. They were professional and well polished. At one point, a charming woman with short graying hair smiled and waved at us from across the room. She seemed to recognize my friend, who had stayed in one of the hotel rooms above the restaurant. She came over, kissed me on the check and shook my hand, welcoming us to her place. And as I left, with the whole staff having sat down to dine with one another (we were the last to leave for the lunch service I thanked her profusely for such a wonderful meal and kissed her hand. I'd also like to note, that upon leaving, I took a look at the small but functional kitchen. I was amazed at how clean and well organized it was. It was spotless.

The hotel common spaces are small and quaint. The dining room seems small for a hotel, but it's encircled with windows so you have a great view while dining. We had a one night stay in a Junior King Suite and it was spacious with additional seating in the room and a balcony with additional seating so we could enjoy the ocean sounds. The room was clean and presentable although some fixtures and finishes seemed worn and outdated. My suggestion would be to include a bidet feature in the bathroom. Even if a full fledged fancy seat bidet can't be installed, it would be great to have the small handheld feature for cleansing. Breakfast is included with the room and is a continental style with fresh juices and you can also order scrambled eggs. The WiFi did not work well in the room which was a bit disappointing.
