Excellent craft cocktails We visited the Singular rooftop on a Wednesday night at 5pm in late Spring (late November). We had attempted to stop in for drinks a few days earlier but were told you had to have a reservation or be a hotel guest. Reservations are a must, and can be made easily online! The rooftop restaurant/bar has a well-decorated indoor area and an awesome patio space. The patio has some tables, some outdoor couches/coffee tables and of course a scenic view of San Cristobel. Our friendly server brought us our order of a craft cocktail (hard to pick as they all sounded great!) and a glass of champagne. We just wanted an appetizer before dinner so we did the Chilean meats and cheese board. The board was well-portioned and fairly large for two! We were the first people seated on the patio at 5pm, but by the time we left it was bustling. Highly recommend The Singular rooftop if you are visiting Santiago.

A group of my neighbors decided to make an early dinner reservation at the restaurant over the holiday weekend (Fiestas Patrias). Due to the earlier-than-normal curfew, the restaurant stopped serving and turned off the music at 8 p.m. (normal Chilean dinnertime). Thankfully, we'd had two hours to enjoy pisco sours, sparkling wine, ceviche, provaleta, empanadas, entraña, and pizza. Thanks to the pandemic, our temperatures were taken at the door and the menu (in English and Spanish) downloads onto your phone with via QR code. I can highly recommend the blue cheese- and-carmenere empanadas, which also contain beautiful caramelized onions. Also, the trio of ceviches was lovely and the toasted bread crisps had a buttery garlic flavor. We ordered two warm provaletas that come with herbs, tomatoes, and walnuts, but only the second one was actually served at an acceptably warm temperature. I also recommend the pear, brie, and caramelized onion pizza. The pizza and pears are very thin but the flavor is good, though I would not call the dough "gourmet". Possibly because it is winter or because of covid, the pool has been drained, but the evening view of the mountains was still the highlight of the meal, como siempre.

Your best bet is to come on a weeknight, particularly now (during the troubles causing the social and political unrest throughout the country and particularly this area) and via taxi since the Baquedano metro stop is no longer in existence. A few months ago (before the troubles started), a group of friends and I tried to come here on a Saturday night around 10:30 p.m. Bad idea. There are no reservations and it is first-come, first-served. That was no problem for us because there are so many great restaurants and bars in this neighborhood, but fast-forward to last week when I had a friend from the U.S. visiting for her first time ever. She spent the daytime taking the funicular, touring the zoo, and taking a walking tour. Regrettably, I had not been on the Metro since early October 2019, before all the upheaval began, so I was very late in arriving to meet her thanks to the protests, riot police blocking the streets, and general mayhem just down the street from here. She didn't seem to mind--she found her way to the restaurant and snagged a great table (there really are no bad seats here, but the tables along the railing are the best for taking photos of the cityscape). Once I arrived (badly in need of a drink for all the traumas I just witnessed minutes earlier on my walk), I was absolutely stunned by the beauty, calm, and serenity of this spot. You would have no idea there was a quasi-civil war being fought just down the road. We sat and talked for hours over pisco, wine, and empanadas. I pointed out the various sights around us, including La Chascona, the home of Chilean poet laureate Pablo Neruda, which is named after his mistress-turned-wife, Matilde (hence, the name of the restaurant). Luckily, we came at the perfect time and caught the sunset, which was lovely. If you need to get away from the bustle of the city (or fiery, tear-gas-filled protests), this is the spot for you. It was therapeutic for me that evening and I'll definitely be back (via Uber, not the Metro).

I went here ignoring the rating because I specifically wanted a sunset view (and it did NOT disappoint). We ordered drinks, 2 starters and elected to share a main dish so that we could order 2 desserts. The cerviche was ok. I have only had better cerviche once in Santiago, but I was still disappointed that there wasn't more tang and the fish was a little fishy. The quinoa salad was good. Nicely presented with a delicious tangy dressing. Very fresh. I ordered 2 drinks, the first a piece pomelo tonic which even with the waiter's advice when ordering I still found too sweet. But he brought me an extra shot of lemon juice and I was really surprised how much I ended up loving this drink. Then I tried a Traditional Mojito made with Flor De Caña 4 rum (because I love rum). I ordered this to be much less sweet than the standard, but it still arrived a bit sweet for me. Nicely presented- I love dried citrus as garnish that's all the rage now! Main dish: sesame encrusted barely seared tuna. If I hadn't eaten so much truly fresh tuna,(diluted in front of me) I could have mistaken this for fresh tuna. Quite nice. And then dessert... actually the desert blew me away. I've been to some very "fancy" restaurants in this past 2 weeks in Argentina & Chile but this was my favourite dessert: quinoa tres leches. It was phenomenal! And gluten free! Like the whole rest of the menu you may have noticed. The second dessert I personally didn't care for but found it interesting and different, and my friend that ordered it absolute loved it. Raves about it. It was a cream made of fruit I hadn't heard of and have unfortunately forgotten with meringue and fresh mandarins. There was even a raw vegan option! (Which I didn't try). Very easy to back gate this menu if you're gluten free or dairy free or have other eating difficulties. I highly rate this place, and the view just sets it over the top.did I mention that I loved the desserts and considered ordering more? They didn't look the part, but they really delivered.

I'd like to give this hotel a higher rating, but there were one too many issues with my stay for me…read moreto ignore. First, there's a big disconnect between the hotel and the broader Bonvoy program. I used suite night awards toward this reservation, and got an email confirming a suite a few days before my arrival. Despite the confirmation, I was still placed in a standard room. The front desk also came to my room around 1230pm on my final day, asking if I was leaving yet, since standard checkout is at 12pm. The problem is, I indicated late checkout on the app (and when checking in at the front desk), so I was confused why they were pressuring me to leave at the standard time. Finally, the club lounge was never stocked, it was just a glorified seating area more than anything else. Bonvoy issues aside, the room was fine, but a little below expectations for the price. The water pressure in both the shower and toilet was comically low, and very unsatisfying. There was repainting directly across the hall from me, which apparently couldn't wait, and left me huffing paint fumes for the majority of my stay. And the location of this hotel is a little inconvenient relative to most of the major tourist activities, though there are nice restaurants about 10 minutes away on foot. Overall, I think this hotel would benefit from tightening up its operations, in terms of guest placements, check ins/out, and maintenance projects near guest rooms.

I found this bar with my sister two days ago and had a couple of drinks, and a good experience. So we returned. The bartender was great, and there again. We are from the USA, but we understand Spanish. Something that the two people seated behind us did not assume. We ordered drinks - and my sister said to me, they don't think we can understand them, do they? I hadn't been listening until then, but I started. They were talking in extremely derogatory terms and mocking us openly. My sister is younger than me by a decent amount, and at one point the gentleman said that she was most likely sleeping with me so she could afford to keep coloring her hair. I will spare you the rest of the lurid and graphic details, but they wasted no time belittling us and laughing about the possible follies of my "purchased relationship" that they presumed, and all of this was right in front of us. We asked the bar tender if they worked there - because it looked like perhaps a casual business meeting between them - and he confirmed that they were employees of the hotel!! So I just spent time and money going to Renaissance hotel to be out loud mocked and sexually degraded by the staff. I intend to take this to every level of the organization. Pull the tapes renaissance - you will see it. It happened November 26, 2025 in the 18:00 hour. You will see what we experienced. I have been a traveling professional for 30+ years - and have been a pretty loyal Marriott person. I KNOW that this is not what the brand represents or intends - which is why something MUST be done - these people need to lose their jobs. When I got up to leave - because I was not about to listed to more, and cancelled my order - I said to them, in spanish, that I understood them - and he looked surprised and like a juvenile in trouble, but made no attempt to even apologize. It would occur to me that his paycheck may depend on tourists, so he might want to mock them less, and for sure don't make it explicit and sexual. NOT OKAY. NOT AT ALL. I will hope that this review receives a reply from someone who understands what the brand represents and stands for.

The rooms were fantastic: comfortable, elegant, and meticulously maintained. Their pool and hot tub were also highlights, beautiful, relaxing spaces that elevated the whole experience. What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the service, which was incredible from beginning to end. The breakfast spread was wide, varied, and delicious. Something for everyone. One of the standout items was a Chilean dessert I absolutely loved. When I asked Daniel Pinto, the Maitre d' what it was and where I could buy it outside the hotel, he went above and beyond, bringing me a boxed portion to take with me. Even more impressive, Daniel wasn't working the next morning, yet he still arranged for the head chef to bake an entire pastry of this dessert and deliver it to our table. And a special shoutout to Consuelos, who baked it early in the morning just so it would be fresh for us. That level of thoughtfulness is truly rare. My stay at The Ritz-Carlton Santiago was extraordinary in every way, and the warmth and dedication of the staff made it unforgettable. I couldn't recommend this hotel more highly.

It also had a massive bathroom and in room tub. - I ordered room service one night when I decided it was too late to venture into the city and find a meal. Once again, very reasonably priced room service and a delicious selection. - The staff was very friendly. Almost everyone spoke English fluently but was more than willing to indulge my attempts at Spanish. CONs: - Unless you are big shopper (this hotel is literally in Costanera Center mall), you are pretty far from some of the main sights in Santiago. However, the metro is nearby and very easy to use. The surrounding area is also safe and easily navigable. - One thing that bugged me was how dirty the windows are. It was a small gripe and certainly cold whether for window cleaning but it would have been nice if they weren't so foggy. All in all, I would recommend a stay here. It was an American style hotel in the heart of a non-touristy part of Santiago. They also have plentiful amenities - rooftop bar, fitness center, parking, etc. Thanks for a great stay!
