The Vik hotel radiates the impression that it is the private home of a very wealthy person, which effectively it is, especially when you consider that the roof is made from titanium.
It is unique, inspiring, and decadent with 22 rooms individually designed and decorated in a different theme, together with paintings or other artistic expressions from renown artists.
In addition to the rooms in the main building, there are also 7 individual villas, or bungalows as they are named.
The main building sits upon a small plateau from where there is a view down the valley on one side with the exterior pool and lake at the opposite end. From the other two sides are views of vineyards or hills.
Within the centre of the main building is a zen garden, filled with plants and colourful flowers. Then, in the common living room area there is no expense spared when you see paintings by Roberta Matta and a diptych from Anslem Kiefers the “secret life of plants”.
The restaurant is small, set within glass-sided walls on two sides, and a place where gourmet food accompanied by great wines is served.
One thing is for sure, everything about Vik is high end, modern and exclusive, to an exceptional degree.
About
The Hotel Vik dominates the valley from a small man-made plateau offering an elevated view down to the valley, lake, vineyards or across to the nearby hills.
The accommodation and overall product offering here is unique. There is nothing similar in Chile and we doubt anywhere else. It is a top-end “design” property, the ultimate in modern boutique, operating as a hotel for those guests who wish to experience something new and receive high-end personal attention.
It is a mix of modern, minimalist design, peppered with sophisticated sculptures and artwork. It will not be everyone’s “cup of tea”. It is not “cozy”, for example.
There is a granite, infinity pool at the back of the hotel, overlooking a lake, as well as relaxing spa area and back up from this sector is the hotel restaurant that also overlooks the lake and where gourmet-level gastronomic food is served and accompanied by excellent wines.
Guests here can enjoy a visit to the “James Bond”-like wine processing unit down in the valley, horse ride, trek, bike or just relax.
We would suggest that you let ExperenceChile.Org build in a stay at Vik if you wish to visit wineries, or just “pamper” yourself for a few days, perhaps before departing back to your home country.
However, this is a high-end place and that means the cost is not at the low end.
The Vik property is located within a 4,500-hectare park, in a valley which is adjacent and over the hill from the Apalta valley, which is a tributary valley to the Colchagua Wine Valley.
If you were to walk from Viña Vik, over the hill behind the lake, opposite the swimming pool, you would come down the other side and meet the Viña La Postolle in the Apalta Wine Valley, which is a sub valley of the Colchagua Wine Valley.
The best way to get to Vik is to come down the main Ruta 5 Panamerican Highway from Santiago and turn off right at Pelequen (this is before getting to San Fernando) and on to Ruta 66, therefore east, towards San Vicente Tagua Tagua. However, you then need to aim for Millahue (note, there is another Millahue in the Colchagua valley and that is not the right one).
Naturally, if we, ExperienceChile.Org arrange your stay here we will include the required transfers in the itinerary.
The main 22 rooms are located along the corridors of the square format of the main hotel building, on two floors. Each room is spacious, with en-suite bathroom and large picture windows that open the view from outside.
Each room has a theme, one being Japanese, for example, and each is filled with artistic personality. Some with incredibly designed rare-shaped bathtubs, others with amazing paintings.
The “bungalows” or villas are glass sided and independent from the man building, each offering top-end comfort.
We will include this hotel as part of your itinerary if requested to do so or if required for a logistical reason, or if it suits your itinerary budget.
