WineBox Hotel
Coming to stay with us is a great oportunity to get to know Valparaiso, from an unique spot in the city, that has amazing views of the city, a cool enviroment and sutainable design, it is also 5 minutes away from the downtown (walking) and 20 minutes away from the main touristic area. We invite you to be a part of our friendly team, get to know guests from all over the world and stay in a reused - reacontitioned container. We acomodate our volunteers in the hotel rooms (two people max per room), every room is an independent unit with a private bathroom and a small kitchen, that conects to a big terrace with a wide view of the city and the ocean.
We are a hotel, made with recycled shipping containers, placed in a residencial hill of Valparaiso (A city declared a world heritage site). The spirit from the beggining was to create awarness by building a project based on sustainable practices, using recycled materials an methods, and also incorporating a wine concept, wanting to educate locals and foreigners about chilean wine, in a accesible and more relaxed way, that's why we have a small on site winery and also work with local producers (wineries) promoting their products and turism programms.
Most of our team members are "porteños" (people that has been born and raised in Valparaiso) and fairly new porteños (my partner and I have been living in the city for 12-10 years). Everyone is very friendly and eager to get to know people from different places and backgrounds.
