The mid-range Hotel Fundador is ideally situated on a quaint cobblestone street in the center of Santiago, within walking distance of some of the city's most famous landmarks. It's a lovely building from the outside, and inside the feel is bright and modern, even if some of the attempts at trendiness fall a little short in execution. Quirky decor includes frayed-looking tapestries as wall art, and charcoal-style paint in the hallways that resembles crayon scribbles. Each room is different, with bold colors, stone floors, mini-fridges, and older tube TVs. Bathrooms are basic and more classic-looking than the bedrooms, though the showers show some water stains. The hotel has two on-site restaurants and a bar, as well as a charming gift shop that offers handmade jewelry and other art pieces.
