Santiago
For those looking for a boutique experience on a realistic budget, this is your best bet. The lovely converted mansion on a quiet street has a terrific patio lounge, fresh art deco stylings, decent service and a chilled-out air.
A spiraling stairway takes you to the high-ceilinged rooms, which are bathed in white, and feature minimalist Scandanavian design sensibilities, some funky art and modern baths.
