ABOUT THE W SANTIAGO "INDULGE" - in their own words:

Who’s hungry?
Presenting a globe-trotting gastronomy of culinary excellence—you'll taste all over the world without leaving W Santiago. At NoSo, go French with classic reimaginations defined with modern sensibilities, or get fresh with sensational sushi at Osaka, a Peruvian-Asian restaurant that crosses borders. Chill out at our Chilean bistro Terraza where we're mad about Mediterranean influences, or nibble your way across the tapas with a twist at W Lounge.

Who's thirsty?
When Rande Gerber brings his fashionable Whiskey Blue to town, it naturally lands at W Santiago, the epitome of the city's stylish scene. It's the top of the world at our rooftop bar Red2one, where sparkling glass windows lets the dazzling cityscape set an eclectic background for your cocktail socializing. Complete your Chilean experience at the Wine Tasting Room, where expert sommeliers guide you through the spectacular selection of 1,600 bottles on a soaring wall rack, or relax with a sip of the finest South American beverages in the Tea Library.

RED2ONE
Live the high life when you're cocktail socializing at our rooftop Red2One bar, overlooking WETŪ, the spectacular Andes and the Santiago cityscape through voyeuristic glass walls. Open from September to April.

NoSo
When the classic elegance of French cuisine meets the exuberant flair of Mediterranean kitchens, culinary sparks will fly. Under restaurateur Jean-Paul Bondoux's innovative vision and chef Sergio Gonzalez' extraordinary execution, this astronomical match made in gastronomy takes flight in a setting of chic, modern decor accentuated by chocolate and white hues and casual elegant service.

You'll see why Bondoux is regarded as one of the top chefs in South America when you embark on an epicurean exploration of his NoSo menu, a seasonal palette bursting with imported and local "terroir" ingredients. From his beloved native Burgundian standards to fresh Chilean seafood, the menu features a selection of succulent seafood from a chilled marble display and duck foie gras imaginatively paired with elements such as spiced honey sauce and leek truffle cream. Seafood is also prepared in a variety of masterful presentations—Chilean hake with merquen-flavored piquillo peppers and corvina with fennel confit—while hearty flavors of the land are served in the Patagonian lamb with eggplant couscous and beef parmentier with pinot noir sauce. Go for the full NoSo experience at the impressive wooden chef's table framed by the display kitchen, or get intimate in the private dining room that seats up to 25 in plush red chairs under blue glass chandeliers.

True to Chilean spirit, an extensive wine list spotlighting renowned labels from the wine cave accompanies lunch and dinner, while the pastry chef sweetens the deal with a marvelous mix of dessert mojo—crispy layered berries with vanilla cream, meringue floating island with caramel, and the decadent chocolate lava cake with milk ice cream. Come back and do it all over again at breakfast with a power-packed selection of fresh juices, milks, fruits, eggs, cereals, pastries, and cold plates, or start the day in style with our spectacular Saturday and Sunday brunches.

Whiskey Blue
What happens when the Gerber Group opens their very first nightclub in South America? There's the cutting-edge design, high fashion, indulgent art pieces, scrumptious signature cocktails, sizzling sexy spaces and sensual vibes you know and dig—now amped up with Santiago spice, Latin rhythm, exuberant passion and smooth Cueca grooves.

With leather, felt and wood paneling flanked by voyeuristic soaring floor-to-ceiling mirrors, you'll never miss a beat whether you're on call for a colorful cocktail at the bar or snuggled in a cozy nook on plush banquettes. As world-famous DJs spin up global beats, the fun never ends as you sip from the martini menu that goes on forever. Or come for special live music events that set the tempo for an evening of scene-stealing and sensational socializing.

Come see. Be seen. Be fabulous. In this oasis of style, it's trendsetting by design

Osaka
With a diverse, multicultural cornucopia of exotic flavors that takes you on epicurean explorations around the world, unique elements from Peruvian, Thai, Chinese and Japanese cuisine are composed into stunning fusion inspirations of art on a plate. With tastes infusing the culinary personalities from South America and Asia, you won't feel like a fish out of water while sampling sushi specialties and other innovations by the renowned chef Ciro Watanabe, as you sip sake, whet your palate with whiskey or swirl a cocktail.

In a wild adventure of typical Peruvian ingredients conjured by Oriental cooking techniques into spectacular dishes such as ceviche Osaka, Thai scallops, teriyaki balsamic sirloin and Nippon confit duck, let your chopsticks push the boundaries of contemporary cusine art. Just as spectacular is the wall fountain, a calming and inspiring flow of trickling water to set the mood and tone for your evening. Perch at the sushi bar to get up close and personal with the day's finest and freshest, and see your seafood come to live under the sensational skills of our chefs.

Terraza
With a panoramic view of the Santiago skyline sprawling by, lose yourself in the alluring menu created by Jean-Paul Bondoux—what can we tempt you with today from our Chilean bistro?

After you've started with a refreshing cold cerveza featuring some of the world's best beers, dive into seafood appetizers before exploring hearty platters of meats and of course, fresh seafood. From erizos (sea urchins) and locos (Chilean abalone) to ceviches and oysters borde negro, this epicurean experience is an aquatic adventure where casual sophistication flows as freely as the hand-picked wines.

Amid a relaxed, casual setting of olive trees and sparkling fountains, linger over desserts in our oasis nestled amid mountains and urban chic.
