Where to stay near the airport
Terminal Walk, Shuttle or City Base
A business stay near SCL makes sense for a short trip with an early departure or a late arrival, when the drive into central Santiago would add time you do not have. The hotels here are practical airport hotels rather than conference resorts, so I compared them on what a working traveller uses: the walk or shuttle to the terminal, breakfast before a flight, a fitness center, and business facilities where they are listed, at Hotel Manquehue Aeropuerto and La Quinta.
For the earliest flights, Holiday Inn Santiago - Airport Terminal by IHG is the most direct option: it is a 5-minute walk from the terminal and has an indoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness center, a full-service spa and a restaurant, rated 8.6 on 2,040 reviews. La Quinta by Wyndham Santiago Aeropuerto has the best score on this page, 8.8 on 1,908 reviews, with bright air-conditioned rooms, a complimentary airport shuttle, an indoor pool, a hot tub, spa facilities, a restaurant, a bar, room service, a fitness center and business amenities. I would choose the Holiday Inn for a dawn departure and La Quinta for a night with work to finish.
City Express by Marriott Santiago Aeropuerto Chile, rated 8.4, has the most reviews here, 3,008, so its score is the most established. It offers contemporary rooms and suites, a complimentary airport shuttle, free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, a bar and a restaurant, and it is pet-friendly. Hotel Diego De Almagro Aeropuerto, rated 8.2 on 2,657 reviews, is a straightforward hotel with an airport shuttle, free breakfast and Wi-Fi, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a restaurant with room service and a bar. Both suit a one-night stop where you want breakfast before the shuttle leaves for the terminal.
Hotel Manquehue Aeropuerto, rated 8.0 on 1,623 reviews, is the only hotel here that lists a business center, along with contemporary rooms, a complimentary airport shuttle, an outdoor pool, free breakfast, on-site dining, free Wi-Fi and free parking. That makes it a sensible choice if you need to print documents or work before a meeting. Courtyard by Marriott Santiago Airport, rated 7.8 on 443 reviews, offers a complimentary shuttle, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a restaurant, free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking, practical if you are driving a rental car and want to leave it at the hotel.
If your meetings are in central Santiago rather than near the airport, Nobile Hotel Estacion Central is the base I would pick. Rated 8.6 on 1,149 reviews, it offers free breakfast and Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a bar and air-conditioned rooms, and it runs an airport shuttle for the return trip. It sits in Estación Central, the district around the main railway station of Santiago, with the city centre and La Moneda Palace within easy reach by metro. It is also kid-friendly, which helps when a work trip turns into a family stay.
A traveler's takeFor a business trip ending with an early flight from Santiago, I would book Holiday Inn Santiago - Airport Terminal by IHG: it is a 5-minute walk from the terminal, so there is no transfer to plan, and it has a fitness center and a spa. If I needed a business center the night before, I would choose Hotel Manquehue Aeropuerto, with its complimentary airport shuttle and free breakfast.
