Best Waterfront Marina Hotels in Viña del Mar
Waterfront and marina-area hotels in Viña del Mar center on Best Western Marina del Rey, a hundred metres from the Miramar metro station and roughly a kilometre from the Casino Municipal building and Peru Avenue along the coast. Hotel 7 Norte sits further inland near the bus station, a quieter option for travelers who want a waterfront district address without the busier metro-station location. Both put Valparaíso's port and hillside streets within a short ride, useful for a stay that treats the marina district as a base for exploring the wider bay rather than just the beach outside the door.

A Working Harbor District Near the Metro
Best Western Marina del Rey sits in Viña del Mar's city centre, a hundred metres from the Miramar metro station, with a gym and free private parking on site for guests who'd rather not rely on transit for every trip. Rooms include a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a minibar and a private bathroom, and the on-site restaurant serves local cuisine alongside a bar for an evening drink after a day exploring the marina district. Family rooms are also available for travelers combining a waterfront stay with a wider group trip.
The hotel's real advantage for this axis is its transit link: the Miramar metro station a hundred metres away puts Valparaíso's port and hillside streets roughly a ten-minute drive or a short train ride away, letting guests base themselves in Viña del Mar's marina district while still treating Valparaíso as a same-day option. The Casino Municipal building and Peru Avenue sit about a kilometre away for an easy waterfront walk most evenings after dinner at the hotel restaurant, weather along this stretch of Pacific coast permitting for most of the year round.
Hotel 7 Norte offers a second, quieter option a kilometre from the bus station, in a peaceful residential area rather than directly on the water. Its bicycle rental gives guests a way to reach the waterfront under their own power rather than by taxi, and its flat-screen cable TV and private or shared bathrooms keep the stay simple for a traveler using the hotel mainly as a base for exploring the wider bay rather than a full sea view from a private balcony each and every morning of the trip.
Together, these two properties cover a traveler who wants either a metro-adjacent waterfront stay with a gym and restaurant, or a quieter inland base near the bus station with bicycle rental instead. Neither carries the resort-scale pool or spa found at the beachfront towers further along Playa Acapulco, which keeps rates lower for guests whose priority is the marina district's transit links rather than a full resort stay by the sea itself, cabanas, loungers and all included, at least for this particular kind of transit-focused trip along the wider coast.
This waterfront and marina district sits between Viña del Mar's central beach strip and the port city of Valparaíso, a roughly ten-minute drive south along the coast. Peru Avenue runs along part of this stretch, giving the area a more working-harbor feel than the palm-lined gardens around Quinta Vergara further inland, and the Miramar metro station ties the district into the wider regional rail network running toward Valparaíso and beyond.
