Huelén | Exclusivity and the Heart of Providencia

Summary:

★ AWARD-WINNING STAY ★ A standout work at the XXIII Chilean Architecture Biennial. This "adaptive reuse" project transforms a historic structure into a modern sanctuary.

As hosts, we honor this vision by offering an authentic Providencia experience.

Thanks to the design by architects Daniel Pastor and Matías Jarpa, the building is a masterful dialogue between historic heritage and modern luxury.
