Where to stay in Santiago, Chile, depending on why you are going

For a business trip, stay in Providencia or Las Condes. To walk the historic center, Santiago Centro (downtown), with Providencia in between. If you are staying a month, the apartment matters more than the neighborhood.

We manage more than 75 apartments in Santiago, most of them in Providencia and Las Condes, and some in Santiago Centro and Ñuñoa. This guide is based on what we know first-hand. There are good neighborhoods where we have no apartments, and they are not covered here.

Business trips

Many of the city's corporate offices sit along Metro Line 1, between Providencia and Las Condes, around Costanera Center, El Golf and Apoquindo Avenue. All our apartments in Providencia are within 3 km of Costanera Center in a straight line. In Las Condes the range goes from half a kilometer to 7 km, because the district is long and not all of it is close to the office area.

Several apartments list a dedicated workspace and wifi, almost all of them in those two districts. See apartments for remote work and apartments near Costanera Center. There is a longer guide for business trips near Costanera Center.

Sightseeing

If you want to walk the historic center, Santiago Centro is the most direct option. From our downtown apartments, Plaza de Armas is between half a kilometer and 3 km away. Lastarria, Bellas Artes and La Moneda are within walking distance, and Metro Lines 1, 2, 3 and 5 all run through downtown. At night, stick to the well-lit avenues.

Providencia is 2 to 4.5 km from Plaza de Armas and Line 1 runs through it. You can go up Cerro San Cristóbal from Pío Nono or from Pedro de Valdivia Norte.

A month or longer

On a long stay what you notice most is whether there is a washer and where you will work. Some apartments have a washer inside and others a paid laundry room in the building, so check the listing.
