Two-star hotels are rarely this sleek, cool and minimalist, with the odd groovy touch in the décor. The Moure’s conversion from a traditional building on the north edge of Santiago’s historic centre won architectural design prizes for its clean lines and clever use of the limited indoor and outdoor space – including a bijou outdoor patio.
Continental brekkie included in the price and there’s reasonably priced parking nearby. The hotel is on a narrow, quiet, one-way cobbled street, along with several other small guesthouses (including the same family’s Hotel Altair). It’s a few minutes’ walk from the Cathedral and a score of restaurants and bars.
All in all, a cool and convenient base for exploring the historic city centre.
