Astoreca Palace

ICONE DE VALPARAISO

Set in the historic district of Valparaíso, a stone's throw from the iconic Paseo Yugoslavo viewpoint and opposite the Museum of Fine Arts, the Palacio Astoreca offers a delightful base on the Chilean coast. This red-clad Victorian building from 1923 houses 23 rooms across several categories. Equipped with all contemporary comforts, the rooms offer views of Valparaíso bay or the hills. Their Victorian decor harmoniously blends antique details with modern amenities to create a charming and cosy space. Although the Palacio Astoreca is a heritage house with over a century of history, the communal areas available to guests are generous: a cosy lounge with a piano, a terrace, the Pastalegre restaurant, a wine cellar for celebrating a special event, a library, a garden, and a spa with a sauna, jacuzzi and heated indoor pool. Make the most of your stay by wandering the colourful streets of Valparaíso, a true Chilean postcard: picturesque staircases, steep alleyways, vibrant murals and historic buildings will dot your explorations.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

Inaugurated in 1923, this mansion commissioned by a merchant became one of Valparaíso's most imposing palaces. It rose to become an emblem of the city, thanks to its distinctive colours and eye-catching architecture. Chilean architect Matias Klotz succeeded Vicente Colovich to undertake a complete restoration of the building in 2009. Finally, in 2013, the Palacio Astoreca opened its doors, offering visitors the opportunity to stay in a place steeped in history.

ETHICS

In 2025, the Palacio Astoreca hotel invested in solar panels to reduce its use of fossil fuels and its environmental footprint, notably to heat the heated swimming pool. This acquisition adds to the hotel's overall approach aimed at more sensible energy use, the limitation of single-use products, and the preservation of its Victorian architectural heritage.
