The modern, upscale east — leafy Providencia's cafés and shops giving way to the gleaming towers of 'Sanhattan' in Las Condes, home to South America's tallest building and the best malls and hotels, with the Andes rising behind. Safe, polished and business-like, well-connected on the metro; the base for travellers who want comfort, modern comforts and mountain views, a metro ride from the historic sights.

What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 10.Sky Costanera — The observation deck atop the Gran Torre Costanera, the tallest building in South America — a glass-walled sky deck 300 m up in the modern Las Condes district, with a breathtaking 360° view over the whole vast city to the ring of the Andes. Go on a clear afternoon or at sunset for the mountains and the city lights; a thrilling, high-altitude counterpoint to San Cristóbal's green hill. The best of modern, gleaming Santiago in one dizzying view.
- 13.Providencia's cafés & parks — The leafy, prosperous barrio of Providencia is where much of modern Santiago lives and plays — tree-lined avenues of cafés, restaurants, bookshops and boutiques, riverside parks and a relaxed, upscale buzz. A lovely area to stroll, café-hop and shop away from the tourist sights, with lovely spots like Barrio Italia (full of design shops and eateries) nearby; a window into comfortable, contemporary Santiago life. A pleasant, relaxed afternoon.
