Best Hotels Near Santiago's Arturo Merino Benítez Airport

Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, known by its code SCL, sits in Pudahuel on the western edge of Santiago, and the hotels on this page fall into three groups. Holiday Inn Santiago - Airport Terminal by IHG is a five-minute walk from the terminal. A cluster of airport hotels nearby, including Hilton Garden Inn Santiago Airport, La Quinta by Wyndham Santiago Aeropuerto and Courtyard by Marriott Santiago Airport, run a complimentary shuttle. Downtown hotels around República and Estación Central are listed at roughly 24 to 30 minutes by taxi. The choice depends on whether you need the terminal or the city.

Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, known as SCL, is Chile's main international gateway and sits in Pudahuel, on the western edge of Santiago. The area right around the terminal is built for air travel, with a hotel a short walk from the terminal and a group of international airport hotels linked by shuttles. For more character, travellers head into central Santiago, where República, Estación Central and Barrio Yungay offer older buildings, metro access and restaurants, roughly half an hour away by taxi.

Where to stay near the airport

…

Terminal hotel, Pudahuel shuttles or downtown Santiago

SCL is Chile's main international gateway, and many long-haul flights leave late at night or early in the morning, so a bed close to the terminal can save a stressful transfer across Santiago. The airport hotels here are built for that: almost all offer a shuttle, several have indoor pools, and some include breakfast. If you would rather spend an evening in the city, downtown options near República metro station and Estación Central keep the taxi ride under half an hour, according to our listings.

The only hotel on this page you can reach on foot is Holiday Inn Santiago - Airport Terminal by IHG, five minutes from the terminal. It adds an indoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness centre and a full-service spa, which makes a long layover easier. Every other airport hotel relies on a shuttle. Hilton Garden Inn Santiago Airport, rated 8.8, offers a free shuttle with an indoor pool and a hot tub, and La Quinta by Wyndham Santiago Aeropuerto, also rated 8.8, adds spa facilities. City Express by Marriott Santiago Aeropuerto Chile includes a complimentary shuttle and a fitness centre.

Several airport hotels include breakfast, which helps before an early flight. Hotel Diego De Almagro Aeropuerto combines a shuttle, free breakfast and an outdoor pool, and Hotel Manquehue Aeropuerto offers the same trio plus free parking. Courtyard by Marriott Santiago Airport has a complimentary shuttle, an outdoor pool and free breakfast too. Motel Aerotel, a short walk from a bus stop on Camino Pedro Jorquera, offers a hot tub and free parking. Hospedaje Pudahuel, a small budget option, is listed at about 18 minutes by taxi. I would pick from this group when I want breakfast before leaving.

Downtown Santiago is the alternative when you want the city. Hotel Boutique Casa Conde, rated 9.8, is a four-minute walk from República metro station and about 27 minutes from the airport by taxi. Echaurren Motel 316, seven minutes on foot from República, includes free breakfast and parking and is listed at about 28 minutes. Hotel Barrio Yungay occupies a 1920s building with an interior patio and some rooms with kitchens, and HOSTAL BOUTIQUE BLACK CAT, about 24 minutes away, has a terrace and a bar. Nobile Hotel Estacion Central and Concha Y Toro 33 Hotel Boutique By Nobile both run an airport shuttle.

Smaller guesthouses and hostels on this list often include a shuttle as well. Hotel Casa Aure, rated 9.4, offers a complimentary shuttle and free breakfast, and bed and breakfast brothers, rated 9.8, adds a pet-friendly policy and free parking. Happy House Hostel, in a Colonial-style building, has a shuttle, an outdoor pool and some rooms with kitchens. Maktvb Brasil - Hostal Boutique and Hotel Casa Zañartu include breakfast and a shuttle, and Tu Espacio Re - Hostel accepts pets. These ratings rest on fewer reviews than the large airport hotels, which I would keep in mind.

A traveler's take

For a late arrival or an early departure at SCL, I would book Holiday Inn Santiago - Airport Terminal by IHG, because it is a five-minute walk from the terminal and has an indoor pool and a spa. If it were full, I would choose Hilton Garden Inn Santiago Airport, rated 8.8, with a free shuttle and an indoor pool. For a night in the city, Hotel Boutique Casa Conde, rated 9.8, is four minutes on foot from República metro station.
