Where to actually take her in Santiago

Santiago lets you split an evening between Lastarria, Providencia and Bellavista without it dragging: the distances are short and the taxis cheap. What you want to avoid is the front desk that asks questions at midnight and the bar where you have to shout. A hotel in Las Condes or Providencia with a 24-hour desk solves both.

Hotels that do not make it awkward

The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Santiago is the front desk. Some houses charge a visitor fee, some ask for her passport, some simply do not allow a second person in the room after midnight. The houses below are the ones worth booking in this city - and because policies change with the season and the manager, the one question worth asking at reservation is whether a registered guest may come up to the room.

Bars for the first drink

Forty minutes in a bar before anything else is not a formality - it is how two adults find out whether the evening is worth having. Pick somewhere you can hear each other.

The areas, honestly

Every city has a district everyone names and a district where things actually happen. In Santiago they are not always the same place.

Three things that cost nothing

• Be where you said you would be, at the time you said it. Punctuality reads as respect, and it is the cheapest respect there is.
• Settle the practical part at the start, once, and never bring it up again.
• Book the room in your own name and go up first. Never ask her to check in for you.
