Café Tudor
History and coffee at the top of Santiago
Located at the summit of San Cristóbal Hill, Café Tudor is one of the corners with the most history and charm in the Metropolitan Park.
This emblematic space is part of the historic Funicular Santiago complex, and its origins date back to the 1920s, when it was built as an elegant tea room and meeting point for those visiting the hill.
Its Tudor-style architecture, characterised by the use of stone and medieval details, gives it a unique identity that remains to this day. The space was designed by Carlos Landa as part of the tourism and heritage development of San Cristóbal Hill.
The highest café in Santiago
Today, Café Tudor invites you to enjoy a unique experience at one of the highest points in the capital, at 820 metres above sea level, right at the summit of San Cristóbal Hill — a location that earns it the title of the “Highest café in Santiago”.
With privileged panoramic views, this space combines heritage, gastronomy and nature in a perfect setting to rest after touring the hill.
Here you can enjoy coffee, pastries, snacks and various dishes while you take in the city from above.
It has two settings: the terrace surrounded by nature and the Tudor Hall. The latter is a space from the 1920s with history and novelties such as the “Windows to the Past”, two glass floors to see how the Machine Room works, located right below the Hall.
Café Tudor becomes a must-stop for those looking to experience San Cristóbal Hill in a different way.
