Breathtaking views of the Andes are the backdrop for a super-stylish getaway at the W Hotel in Santiago.

Head for the Whiskey Blue Bar at night's end, one of the most elite Santiago nightspots.

At the W Santiago, ultra-modern is ultra-easy. Located in the fashionable El Golf district of Santiago, "San-hattan" if you will, the New York-designed W Santiago is a fashion-forward boutique hotel that provides a dose of South American cool. From the private gated entrance lined with trees native to Chile, to the pervasive soundtrack of Chilean music serenading you throughout your stay, this hotel is 100 per cent contemporary Chile.

After a day of strolling through the cobblestone streets of the city and scoring some coveted shopping finds in the Providencia neighbourhood, the heated rooftop pool and bar with expansive views of the Chilean Andes from Red2One will have you dizzy with excitement. Keep it under control, though: later on, you'll want to visit to hotel's living room to "play" the massive sheepskin Drum Wall. And if keeping quiet's more your thing, retreat to your Wonderful Suite and plunge into the soaker tub.
