Pat, yes, Todd and I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Santiago when it first opened. It's a lovely hotel, but we were only there for a night, as I remember. I can't recall how central it was, but it was not right in the middle of the commercial part of the city. Todd arranged for a guide to pick each of us up at the airport (he came in after me), who returned to pick us up for a half-day tour of the city. The next morning, he took us to a winery on the way to the ship, and we stopped in Vina del Mar for lunch before getting on the ship. Todd took tons of pictures of the hotel that you can check on his ofoto site.
