Chile Mandarin Oriental update
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced that it will manage a new urban resort in Chile that is currently under development in Viña del Mar, close by to Valporosa. The property will be a natural partner to Hotel Santiago, in the nation’s capital, which the Group manages, following a face-lift later in 2018, and the rebranding as Mandarin Oriental Santiago.
Valparaiso is the seaport of Santiago, an 80-mile drive.
The Viña del Mar property is scheduled to open in 2020 with 195 guestrooms and suites. The property has direct beach access and proximity to the city’s main shopping destination.
Facilities at the hotel will include an all-day dining venue and bar, as well as a range of flexible meeting facilities, ideal for social and business events. There will also be a boutique Spa, a fitness centre, an indoor swimming pool and a dedicated children’s swimming pool.
Located on central Chile’s Pacific coast, Viña del Mar is known for its historic quarter and as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Often referred to as the ‘Garden City’, and visited for its parks, beaches, entertainment venues and close proximity to the Casablanca Valley vineyards, Viña del Mar has long been a popular weekend destination from Santiago.
