Holiday Inn Santiago - Airport Terminal by IHG
We also stayed here 10 years ago. We love this hotel. It's really modern, well appointed, comfortable, and we can wait down in the bar for ages before we walk over to the airport. It will always be our Santiago hotel.

Almacruz Hotel y Centro de Convenciones
Good place to stay right downtown. But, like any large city you need to be careful. Lots of shopping and historical sites all within walking distance. Property is a little tired but very clean with super interesting decor. Overall a good spot for a 30 hour layover!
