Wine-tasting Room at a Santiago Hotel? Check.

Where: Calle Al Alcade 15, Santiago, Chile

Let's face the facts. Many travelers to Santiago,Chile are interested in tasting some of the world famous wines produced in the area. Sure, there's business to get done and touristing about to do, but coming back to a hotel, it's nice to have a place to sip vintages in peace.

We dropped into the Ritz-Carlton Santiago just yesterday for a cocktail and to snoop around, and sauntered by their wine tasting room open on one side to one of the hotel restaurants, Estro. Then we checked their website and ran into one of our greatest annoyances about hotel websites: just lots of close-up photos of the food, none of this nice dining area.

If we have to be straight up, it's not a 5-star Santiago hotel without a semi-private tasting room and without having visited, how would we have known about this one? Just add it to our list of issues with hotel websites.
