The Hotel Diego De Almagro Costanera has a fine walkers' location, placed right on Antofagasta's principal coastal avenue, the Avenida Costanera. This wide scenic avenue parallels the Pacific coast and offers good long breathing walks at any time jogging or cycling along its length while enjoying both ocean and city skyline views. A few minutes walk south along the Costanera brings one to an impressive Mall Plaza Antofagasta; a top shopping center in the city that houses major department stores a big supermarket cinemas complex food court with many dining options all under one roof for ultimate convenience in shopping and entertainment.
Several parks and artistic public installations, plus observation points facing the sea, will be discovered by a pleasant walk heading north from the hotel along the Costanera. Within about fifteen to twenty minutes' walk is found the area around the old Muelle Salitrero Compañía Melbourne Clark (Melbourne Clark Nitrate Pier)-a reminder of the city's wealthy mining past. It is here that more historic downtown quarter begins, where one can find the main square- Plaza Colón and Cathedral of Antofagasta close to Municipal Theatre.
Besides the mall, the immediate perimeters of the hotel also provide easy accessibility to dining options. Highly recommended restaurants within a walking distance of about 10-15 minutes from the hotel, mostly located directly on the Costanera, serving seafood and Chilean cuisine with great ocean views. Convenience stores and pharmacies are practically within walking distance. The area is excellently walkable, integrating the enjoyment of the seaside promenade with easy accessibility to major commercial and cultural centers-an excellent spot from which to discover the city.
