HOTEL CASA REAL, de Viña Santa Rita 

Hotel Casa Real de Viña Santa Rita
We checked into this national heritage hotel in the late evening from the airport. Only 3 of 16 rooms were occupied, including ourselves. It was rather scary at night, however it was splendidly beautiful in the day.
“Its late 19th century classical style has been preserved, making it a historic monument and the only park of its kind in the country. Hotel Casa Real offers 16 beautiful rooms, fine dining, salons, and outstanding service, in a setting of absolute privacy and exclusivity. Alongside the hotel stands a Neo-Gothic chapel built in 1880 - like the mansion, it was designed by German architect Theodor Burchard.”
“The Hotel Casa Real is located on the Santa Rita Estate, and was formerly the summerhouse of the winery’s founder. Following restoration, it was converted into a hotel in the mid-1990s. Located in a 40-hectare park designed by leading French landscape gardener Guillaume Renner.”
CHAPEL, Hotel Casa Real
“Once the grand mansion had been completed, the architect was tasked with designing and building Santa Rita Chapel. The exterior is in the Gothic style, while the interior features Norman arches and vaulted domes in the Roman style. The images of saints that adorn the chapel walls are the work of one of Chile’s top painters of the era, Alfredo Valenzuela Puelma. Construction was completed in 1885, and the chapel became the main Catholic site for the Santa Rita Estate.”
