Hotel Casa Higueras

Valparaiso, Chile

Perched on an impressive hillside vantage point that overlooks the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Valparaiso and its bay, Hotel Casa Higueras is a former 1920s mansion house turned charming boutique hotel.

Hidden behind a simple façade on an unassuming street, the property houses an elegant lounge and a magnificent roof terrace restaurant that affords diners with panoramic views over Plaza Anibal Pinto.

Its 20 spacious rooms are spread throughout the mansion’s five floors and elegantly furnished with a focus on comfort, and many boast private terraces that overlook the bay and the Cordillera and Concepcion hills. Outside, the hillside garden is surrounded by fig trees, elms, palms and an enormous monkey-puzzle tree and boasts a sparkling infinity pool and separate large jacuzzi.

Why we like Hotel Casa Higueras

Ideally suited to those seeking an unusual port city hideaway, the infinity pool at Hotel Casa Higueras is arguably the most tranquil vantage point in the entirety of Valpariso.

Activities

Navigate around the quirky graffiti-sprawled port city of Valparaiso on foot or by funicular, discovering its eateries, galleries and boutique stores. Walk down through the maze of colourful streets to the harbour, or perhaps travel by car to the nearby coastal resort city of Viña del Mar.

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and your team for looking after us so well! Who could have foreseen electric storms and the civil unrest in Chile. You couldn’t have looked after us better if you had been on the spot! We had an AWESOME adventure – your advice and suggestions were bang on the nail every time. Each hotel was better than the next and the cruise was FANTASTIC.
