Local Spots

Hotel Diego de Almagro is perfectly situated for those who love the sea, because its primary walkable destination is the magnificent Las Machas beach right at the hotel’s doorstep. Guests can walk kilometers along this wide sandy beach popular for surfing and sunbathing and over the Pacific’s beautiful long sunsets. The promenade annexed to this wide sandy beach from which the hotel directly benefits is one main highlight of its location.

The hotel is in a quiet mostly residential and resort area just north of town. It isn’t right smack downtown in the middle of everything but a 15-20 minute walk south along the coast road or beach will take you to Playa Chinchorro area where several restaurants offer variety dining options right on the sand together with bars and cafes. This is one popular local area for eating at night and relaxed beach atmosphere.

A vehicle is necessary for any historical or downtown attractions—such as the famous El Morro de Arica, the Plaza Colón, or the San Marcos Cathedral. These are located a short and easy 10-minute drive away. The hotel's walkability is centered on beach and coastal leisure rather than urban exploration, providing a peaceful escape from the main city bustle.
