Sheraton Miramar Hotel & Convention Center, Five-star hotel and convention center in Viña del Mar, Chile

The Sheraton Miramar Hotel & Convention Center stands on Avenida La Marina beside Caleta Abarca, near Viña del Mar's Reloj de Flores. The 2005 building has 8 floors and 142 rooms, two pools (one outdoor, one indoor), and architecture recalling the old Miramar's Art Deco: a circular volume, a conical atrium, a curtain wall and a mix of glass and aluminium.

The original Hotel Miramar was planned in 1937 to improve Viña del Mar's coastline; architects Aquiles Langdoff and Manuel Valenzuela won the design competition, construction ran from 1942 to 1945, and it opened on 30 January 1946. Remodelled in 1979, it was dismantled in 1998 and demolished in 2004 after the concession went to Penta. The new Sheraton Miramar, a US$30 million investment, opened in December 2005.

The hotel's name comes from the old Hotel Miramar, demolished in 2004; the new building keeps Art Deco references such as the circular volume, alongside a conical atrium and a glass-and-aluminium curtain wall. Part of the furniture was brought from Brazil and Italy, while special pieces were made in Chile.

The hotel stands on Avenida La Marina, beside Caleta Abarca and a short walk from the Reloj de Flores. It has 329 parking spaces and 10 event rooms, each able to hold 1,200 guests. Two pools, one outdoor and one indoor, plus a gym and spa, serve guests between sightseeing outings.

The 2005 building echoes the old Miramar's Art Deco curves in its circular volume, while adding modernist elements such as a conical atrium and a glass-and-aluminium curtain wall. Some furniture was brought from Brazil and Italy, and special pieces were made in Chile.
