Hotel Sheraton Santiago

Hotel Sheraton Santiago, Five-star hotel in Providencia, Santiago, Chile

Hotel Sheraton Santiago, formerly Hotel Sheraton San Cristóbal, opened on 16 October 1970 with 361 rooms and 9 suites across seven floors. Designed by the Alemparte Barreda office, it was expanded in 1988 with 46 additional suites and in 1998 with the San Cristóbal Tower, which added 139 rooms and a 1,752 m² convention center. The complex now operates as a single entity.

ITT, which had acquired the Sheraton chain in 1968, planned the hotel alongside new properties in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Designed by the Alemparte Barreda office and owned by Sociedad Inmobiliaria San Cristóbal (Sheraton International and Corfo), it opened on 16 October 1970 with 361 rooms and 9 suites over seven floors, at a cost of 7.5 million dollars. In 1971 Allende's government studied converting it into a hospital, dropped because the corridors were too narrow for beds. The San Cristóbal Tower, with 139 rooms and a 1,752 m² convention centre, opened on 18 March 1998 and was merged with the hotel.

The hotel's restaurants and bars carried literary names: Don Quixote, La Fonda, El Cid and L'Etoile, the last on the top floor next to the presidential suite. In the 1970s L'Etoile hosted television programmes such as Canal 13's Esta noche, fiesta, and in 1981 a special marking 1,000 episodes of Sábados gigantes was recorded there with Sylvie Vartan.

The hotel stands in Providencia, next to the Torre Santa María, on the former access roundabout where the San Cristóbal Tower was built in 1998. Its 1,752 m² convention centre and the tower's 139 rooms were merged with the original building, so guests pass between the two wings on foot. Rescue helicopters used the rear courtyard during the 1981 Torre Santa María fire.

In November 2025 the hotel opened a "Wall of Fame" with golden stars honouring ten guests and personalities linked to the property, among them Don Francisco, Elías Figueroa, Pedro Carcuro, Alejandra Mustakis and César Antonio Santis. The hotel also sheltered the 32 of 34 presidents attending the 1998 Summit of the Americas.
