Hotel Casa Real: Heritage, History, and Excellence

Located in the heart of the Maipo Valley, just 45 minutes from Santiago, Hotel Casa Real de Viña Santa Rita has been recognized for offering a heritage experience that combines history, culture, gastronomy, and wine in an incomparable natural setting.

"This recognition reflects the commitment of our entire team to preserving the spirit of hospitality and tradition that defines Viña Santa Rita. We are deeply proud that Casa Real has once again been recognized among the best in South America, reaffirming the value of Chile's heritage and its ability to offer authentic, world-class experiences," said Elena Carretero, Corporate Affairs, Sustainability & Tourism Director at Viña Santa Rita.

Declared a National Monument in 1972 and designed by German architect Teodoro Burchard, Hotel Casa Real invites guests to explore the rich heritage of Viña Santa Rita: a 40-hectare century-old park, a neo-Gothic chapel, historic cellars, the Doña Paula Restaurant—which pays tribute to Paula Jaraquemada and her role in Chile's independence—and the Museo Andino, part of the Fundación Claro Vial, which safeguards more than 3,000 archaeological and ethnographic pieces from South America's indigenous cultures.

This new recognition adds to a series of distinctions that have established Hotel Casa Real among the most remarkable heritage destinations in the continent. In 2024, Travel + Leisure named it among the 40 Best Hotels in the World and the second-best in South America in its World's Best Awards, while Condé Nast Traveler has featured it consecutively in its Readers' Choice Awards 2023, 2024, and 2025. In addition, Booking.com granted the Traveller Review Award 2025, highlighting its warmth and excellence in service.

These achievements reaffirm Casa Real's position as a benchmark for luxury wine tourism and heritage hospitality in South America, reflecting Viña Santa Rita's commitment to excellence, culture, and the preservation of Chile's cultural heritage.
