The ninth floor roof of Hotel NOI Vitacura, where the Andes fill the east view and sunset is the entire point of the visit.
Tramonto Bar & Terraza sits on the ninth floor roof of Hotel NOI at Avenida Nueva Costanera 3736 in Vitacura, beside the pool, with the Andes stacked across the eastern view. Conde Nast Traveller listed it among the world's best hotel rooftops back in 2012, and sunset remains the reason the elevator exists.
You book a table for the hour before sundown, order a cocktail, and watch the mountains change color over the city. Come hungry for dinner, though, and you will leave underfed; reviewers call the food menu limited, so eat before or after.
The terrace wraps the rooftop with 360 degree sightlines, the pool at its center and the Andes to the east. The Rooftop Guide calls it the top destination in Santiago for sunset drinks.
Staff hand you an iPad with the menus in several languages, a touch Tripadvisor reviewers mention often. Some also note the deck is showing its age in places; the view has not aged a day.
The roof opens midday and runs into the night, daily, but the crowd peaks in the ninety minutes around sunset. Hotel guests hold some tables; reserve ahead if your evening depends on the rail.
Expect a dressed up mix of travelers and Vitacura locals marking occasions. It is a quiet luxury room, not a party roof.
