This award is the highest symbol of excellence in the tourism sector, being granted by one of the most important travel magazines in the world.

Located in the Maipo Valley and nestled in the heart of a century-old 40-hectare park, Hotel Casa Real is a unique place that has become a symbol of elegance and tradition since its declaration as a Historical Monument in 1972. For the second consecutive year, the Readers’ Choice Awards have ranked it among the best in South America, a list that recognizes the world’s most highly-rated hotels and tourist services, now considered the ultimate symbol of excellence in the industry.

This award is based on the votes of travelers and readers of the magazine, who rate their experiences in various categories, including hotels, resorts, airlines, islands, cities, and cruises, among others. It joins the recently awarded recognition by Travel and Leisure, which ranked it as the second-best resort in South America and 40th worldwide.

The new edition of the ranking included twenty hotels from the region, including four from Chile, solidifying it as a destination of excellence that highlights the quality and authenticity of its hotel offerings on an international scale.

“Chile has become a destination where nature, culture, and identity converge to offer experiences that remain in the memory. Hotel Casa Real, along with other iconic hotels, reflects Chile’s tourism dedication to preserving and sharing the best of our nature, history, and heritage. With a strong focus on sustainability and respect for our surroundings, we are committed to offering hospitality that connects visitors with the true essence of Chile. We are also proud to be part of our country’s global projection, where wine plays an essential role as an ambassador of our identity and cultural wealth,” says Elena Carretero, Corporate Affairs, Sustainability and Tourism Director at Viña Santa Rita.

These recognitions aim to gather genuine opinions from travelers who have experienced these destinations, generating a reliable list of the world’s most outstanding hotels and tourist services. Considered one of the industry’s most important, it reflects the preferences of frequent and discerning travelers, providing a clear guide to the best experiences based on their evaluations. Additionally, it encourages tourism companies to maintain high standards of quality to remain favorites among users.
