Hyatt Centric Las Condes Santiago REVIEW MASTER THREAD
The Centric in Santiago de Chile is expected to open in February 2018
http://newsroom.hyatt.com/080717-Hya...Chile-and-Peru After the Grand Hyatt Santiago has left the Hyatt chain (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hyatt...-2017-a-3.html), this could be an alternative in lieu of the Hyatt Place as well... |
Enrique Foster 30 is the address.
|
For those who take public transportation, a more convenient location compared to the former GH-- around the block from the Ritz Carlton and adjacent to a subway stop.

The HP was a 1, but moved up to a 2 in the last set of changes. The GH was a 2, but was moved up to a 3 before it de-flagged. The Centric should be a 3, but we'll have to wait and see. As a new hotel it could be a 2 until it builds up a market... |
Centric means no lounge.

I am a bit curious at all of the new build Centrics in South America. Hyatt must be offering a good deal on franchisee fees. |

If only Regency for sure meant lounge, then we'd be on to something useful.

Taking bookings from June 15 onward. (Website says May 1, but this is wrong.)

Category 4 hotel Hyatt Newsroom - News Releases Hyatt today announced the opening of the 166-room Hyatt Centric Las Condes Santiago, and the opening of the 254-room Hyatt Centric San Isidro Lima on May 7, 2018, marking the Hyatt Centric brand’s entry into these two South American countries. Hyatt Centric Las Condes Santiago is the second Hyatt hotel in Chile, joining Hyatt Place Santiago/Vitacura, and Hyatt Centric San Isidro Lima is the first Hyatt hotel to open in Peru. Hyatt Centric Las Condes Santiago offers 166 guest rooms featuring a high-style, eclectic design and modern furnishings with local Chilean craftsmanship. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite guests to take in skyline views of the hotel’s unbeatable location right in the center of Santiago’s financial district, locally known as “Sanhattan.” Its signature restaurant, Talbó Brasserie, presents upscale, authentic Chilean cuisine with a French influence, impressing both guests and local community alike. For moments of relaxation, guests are invited to take in panoramic skyline views of the Andes Mountains from the striking rooftop bar and outdoor pool. For meetings and events, Hyatt Centric Las Condes Santiago offers up to 7,100 square feet of flexible, technology-equipped space and the support of a dedicated meetings and events staff. |
An alternative will be Hyatt Place Vitacura for only 8000 pts (C2 hotel). I think it's still easily accessible by bus and metro to downtown.

I beg to differ. Hyatt Place Vitacura specifically flagged that they didn’t have to upgrade a globalist to anything per the terms and conditions (true). I can’t wait for this hotel. Yes you can Uber from Vitacura but you have to sit up front like a bandit.

Just finished a very good 7 day stay here. Location was excellent. Los Condes is a very pleasant neighborhood and it has a good mix of restaurants nearby (I highly recommend the ShakeShack knockoff Streat Burger). The hotel is less than 100m from the El Golf metro station and it is a quick trip to the center of town. The staff was also fantastic. The concierge provided us with excellent help with an urgent dental issue and everyone else was consistently pleasant and helpful. This was a group of genuinely kind and helpful folks. The hard product was good. The hotel is less than one year old so everything is in very good condition and well designed. Initial impressions were damped by the concrete / earthquake-proof construction which makes the hotel feel a bit cold. In addition no one would confuse the room furnishings and design with a Park Hyatt. However everything worked well and the rooms were very pleasant for a week stay. I would happily return. We stayed on a breakfast included rate (damn I miss Diamond). The breakfast buffet was good although more European than American in layout (three varieties of fruit, ham / cheese. spreads and yogurt, fresh baked bread and (less fresh) pastries. The buffet did badly with sausage (tiny hot-dog like things), bacon (always under cooked) and scrambled eggs (a soupy mess all week). But you could also order eggs from the kitchen and the omelets were good. Room pricing was better than competing Santiago hotels (including the HP) and parking was reasonable ($15 usd per day). My only disappointment was that they did not upgrade this explorist to a view king. I was tempted to pay for one, but after seeing the views from the roof I am not sure any of the view rooms would be worth the upcharge -- Santiago's haze is pervasive and the section of Andes you would see from the room are kinda blah. I have stayed at a few Centric's over the past few years and this was the only one that felt like it had a cohesive brand positioning. This was certainly a great stay, I would happily return. |
