It's a mouthful of a name, but the Departamentos Amoblados Belles Artes is a unique option for travelers seeking full-service, contemporary apartments in central Santiago. Some of the units are occupied by permanent residents, giving visitors a chance to experience the city just like the locals do -- and a great opportunity to gather travel advice when bumping into neighbors. Standard and loft-style sizes come with great natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and narrow balconies. Dark wood kitchens are attractive with stainless steel appliances, and open up to the comfortable sitting areas with flat-screen TVs, stereos, and free Wi-Fi. Guests have the same privileges as the permanent ones: access to all public areas, including the fitness center, indoor pool, and meeting room. Staff members, when not present, are on call for any problems.
Location
Walking distance to Plaza de Armas -- the main square in Santiago
Santiago, with seven million people, is a fast growing city located in the central valley of Chile between mountains and the coast. The apartment building's location is walking distance to many area attractions such as the Plaza de Armas, Estacion Mapocho (cultural center for art exhibits), and the Mercado Central -- a historical landmark that offers a variety of gourmet dishes from the best chefs in Santiago. In addition to nearby attractions, modern buses run around-the-clock, and the city's metro system has 94 stations showcasing local artists. The Bellas Artes and Plaza de Armas metro stations are both a few blocks away.- 24-minute drive to Santiago International Airport (Comodoro Arturo Merino Benitez)
