If the W Santiago is showing $283 in total via the Marriott app, then that's what I'll pay?
If the Marriott rate is shown in USD and you have the appropriate documents as clarified by
Eastbay1K you will be charged "that" rate in USD. It is exempt from taxation.
If the Marriott rate is shown in CLP, it is subject to the 19% VAT and applies to everyone. The Sheraton rates in Valparaiso are in CLP.
Rates in CLP: Taxes & Fees are not incuded.
Final Price with VAT added
If you have "Include Taxes & Fees" active, the rate shown will include the VAT.
