The municipality of Viña began its construction in 1931, with a design by the architects Vicente Collovich, Fernando Silva, and Arnaldo Barison.

[2] It was formally inaugurated in February 1936, and since then its structure has undergone several changes, such as the opening of the main entrance on Plaza Latorre, which replaced the existing one on Arlegui Street [es].

[2] After the earthquake of 2010, the hotel refitted one of its main lounges to host shows for the Municipal Theater [es] while it was being repaired.

[4][5] That same year saw the beginning of the hotel's renovation, which included the construction of a convention center within the complex.

It served as a quarantine site,[7] and in 2022 as a shelter for survivors of nearby forest fires.
