A friend of mine who is a concierge for Air Canada at the Santiago Airport confirms that if you are looking for hotels near the Santiago, Chile, airport, there are three main options.
Of course, the city is large enough to have many more hotels than three, but if you’d rather not travel across the city after you flight arrives, there are only three nice hotels near the Santiago airport. Each offers similar amenities and each rate highly on travel services like Expedia and Orbitz.
The differences are in how far they are from the airport and the typical nightly rate for the rooms.
