Bottom Line
RQ Providencia is part of the RQ Hotel group, a chain that operates six other apartment-style establishments in Santiago. It's located in Providencia, surrounded by high-rise apartments. The property's 56 units are more like small studio-sized apartments or college dorm rooms than hotel suites. Each is clean and comfy, and comes with fully equipped kitchenettes, free Internet access, separate living room areas, and work desks. The decor throughout is simple, yet modern, with bright and warm hues blended together tastefully. Guests should be forewarned, however, that even though they may book a room here, their reservation is not guaranteed; in fact, RQ has been known to move guests to its other RQ properties in Santiago without prior notice upon check-in.

Location
Located in Providencia, close to two subway stations
Providencia, found in the northern central part of Santiago, has many high-rise apartments, as well as old elegant houses. It also contains Barrio Suecia, a neighborhood brimming with pubs and nightclubs, and Barrio Bellavista, home to many bohemian artists, hip boutiques, and art galleries. Within its borders are the embassies for China, Russia, and Italy, and the Cerro San Cristobal, the famous tall hill that towers above the entire city.
Though the city has had a storied past, marked by battles over colonialism and freedom, present-day Santiago is a bustling, loud, ever-growing and ever-evolving metropolis populated with nearly seven million people. Aside from being the political and economic center of Chile, it is also fast becoming the country's hub for arts, entertainment, food and drink, and culture. The dynamic city is dotted with museums, theaters, bars, and different vibrant neighborhoods that cater to various crowds, such as the bohemian artists, culinary elite, and politicians. What makes this urban center especially unique is the fact that it's surrounded by the beautiful, glistening snow-capped Andes Mountains. Although Santiago has had a problem with smog and air pollution, it's still difficult not to be impressed by this stunning natural backdrop.
