I booked the San Cristobal Tower Santiago Hotel for 4,800 Starpoints and $90 before the March 1st Starwood Cash & Points devaluation. The San Cristobal Tower belongs to Starwood\u2019s Luxury Collection of hotels and is located within the Sheraton Santiago Hotel & Convention Center so it was an easy move. I utilized 4pm late checkout from the Sheraton Santiago and checked in to the San Cristobal Tower a minute later.<\/p>\n

To access the check-in area, you need to find the sliding glass doors to the left of the Sheraton Santiago lobby.<\/p>\n

The front desk agent notified me that my suite night award upgrade went through and that I was confirmed in a one bedroom suite. I chose 500 Starpoints as my Platinum amenity because we were going to have breakfast elsewhere in the morning. There is no Club Lounge at this hotel, but there is a manager\u2019s reception during the evening at 21 Bar & Lounge.<\/p>\n

I went up to the suite and was amazed at the size of the room and it has an old world historic charm to it. The large spacious living room had a sofa and a dining table that seats four.<\/p>\n

There was a welcome fruit amenity on the dining room table with a personalized letter.<\/p>\n

The bedroom area was just as spacious as the living room with an executive work desk.<\/p>\n

The bathroom was marble and contained Luxury Collection amenities.<\/p>\n

During the evening, I went to 21 Bar & Lounge for the complimentary manager\u2019s reception available to Platinum guests. It was a small spread that contained Chilean Sea Bass, various meats and cheeses, and a handful of desserts. Pisco Sours were also complimentary and available to consume.<\/p>\n

The service at the San Cristobal Tower was amazing and the staff goes out of their way to ensure a high customer satisfaction. Before arrival, I received an e-mail from the General Manager asking if I needed anything before arrival. During the stay, I made a small complaint about the water system on the previous night at the Sheraton Santiago (which also affected the San Cristobal Tower) and they notified the General Manager of the Sheraton. I received a personalized apology letter at the San Cristobal Tower from the General Manager of the nearby Sheraton Santiago and thought that was a nice touch.<\/p>\n
