About
The Hotel Palacio Astoreca, from the outside, looks to be a grand, historical building – a place of previous importance. Its bright, red and white exterior stands out, along with the period architecture.
However, inside, it becomes a modern, 21st Century building with each room having received a modern style interior decoration makeover, accompanied with equally modern facilities. The en-suite bathrooms also radiate a fine attention to detail and are excellently renovated.
In the basement there is a spa with indoor pool; elsewhere there is a wine cellar, piano bar, library, and an exterior terrace overlooking the small, Yugoslav Plaza below.
About Yugoslav Plaza
In 1880 the same plaza was known as the American Promenade. Then, in 1916, a large building, positioned on the south-east side of the plaza, with a Central European-looking architectural exterior, was constructed for the Zanelli family, but later acquired in 1925 by Croatian Pascual Baburizza. It was then named as the Baburizza Palace. However, in 1971 the mansion was turned into the Museum of Beaux Arts and open to the public. Later, in 1979, it was declared a historic monument.
There is a fine, wide terrace that leads off the Yugoslav Plaza and past the front side of the Museum and at the end is the access point to the Peral funicular elevator. This funicular will take you down to the ground level where Justice square is located, just off of the larger Plaza Sotomayor and the headquarters of the Chilean Navy. In addition, there is access to the public area of the port.
Restaurant
Palacio Astoreca hotel offers the Pais Restaurant where there is a varied menu. The name of the restaurant is from the grape variety “Pais”, brought to Chile by Spanish missionaries in the 16th Century.
Hotel Palacio Astoreca is located on Cerro Alegre, beside the Yugoslav Plaza. Opposite the hotel entrance, on the other side of the street is the Museum of Beaux Arts, and on the Pacific Ocean side is the Yugoslav Plaza.
