The hotel is in a historic area of Santiago very close to the cathedral. It is within easy walking distance of cafes and shops. The building is historic and is not really suitable for a wheelchair user.

This is an amazing hotel: comfortable and well decorated, historic, and literally a stone's throw from the cathedral. In the heart of historic Santiago, yet very quiet rooms. The staff is friendly and helpful, and we loved all of the artwork. Fantastic place to stay.
