Situated in the iconic Costanera Center, a landmark project in South America, this hotel finds its place at the heart of Santiago. Within the vibrant urban landscape of the Chilean capital, the Costanera Center stands as a postcard-worthy symbol featuring the tallest tower in Latin America, serving as a prominent reference point for the local populace. Nestled in a historically rich and established neighborhood, the hotel thrives as a dynamic entity within an intensely urban setting.
Offering an immersive experience, guests can explore the city on foot, discovering its diverse array of bookstores, cafes, and museums. By day, the surrounding area serves as a bustling business district, transforming into a vibrant nightlife hub as night descends.

Drawing inspiration from these surroundings, the interior design of the hotel reflects the multifaceted nature of the neighborhood, establishing itself as a new focal point within the city. RMA meticulously developed a program for public spaces, including a Convention Center on the 16th floor and a Sky Lobby on the 17th floor. The Sky Lobby features a diverse program encompassing a library, meeting rooms, a store, a lounge with a bar, wine tasting rooms, and a restaurant. Seizing the opportunity created by the removal of a swimming pool, RMA connected the lobby with the convention center via a staircase. A significant achievement was the creation of a rooftop on the 17th floor, elevating the floor by almost 2 meters and forming a distinctive terrace offering panoramic 180º views of Santiago, spanning from the mountain range to San Cristóbal Hill. Two anchor bars were designed on this terrace, one being the largest bar in Santiago and the other dedicated solely to wines, establishing a unique destination in the capital.

In the guest rooms, our focus was on maximizing the embodiment of the AC brand. Simple yet contemporary lines characterized the room designs, with several featuring open bathrooms. To amplify the breathtaking views of Santiago, multiple mirrored surfaces were strategically incorporated, fostering a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape.
