They differ in how much spa they actually offer, so it helps to read the details. Only one lists a full-service spa, while the others offer an indoor pool, a hot tub or both. All four score between 8.4 and 8.8, which is solid for an airport stay, and each has at least a thousand reviews behind it.
Holiday Inn Santiago - Airport Terminal by IHG is the one with the full-service spa, an indoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness centre, and it is a five-minute walk from the terminal, which suits a short layover. It scores 8.6 from 2,040 reviews and also lists a restaurant and air-conditioned rooms.

Check a few things before booking. Ask whether the spa or hot tub needs a reservation and what hours it keeps, because late arrivals can miss them. Confirm that the shuttle at Hilton Garden Inn or La Quinta runs at your flight time. Ask Holiday Inn about the walking route if you carry heavy bags, and ask Motel Aerotel about the taxi transfer, since its listing does not mention a shuttle. If you are travelling with a pet, Hilton Garden Inn is the one that lists pet-friendly rooms. Written confirmation helps.
