7 outstanding hotels for discovering Lima, Peru
When the world was yet to discover the charms of this beautiful city, many people associated Lima with only fog and gray skies. While it’s true that the Peruvian capital has a very particular climate – influenced by the cold Humboldt Current and the Andean mountain range – this is by no means the only feature of this Andean city.
Lima is culture, history, architecture, cosmopolitanism and of course excellent cuisine. In fact, this city, declared World Heritage in 1988, was the only one of Latin America included on National Geographic MagazineÂ’s list of ten world culinary destinations. With more than 8 million inhabitants, Lima is the largest city in Peru. A well preserved and quite safe city, it is located on the coast of central Peru and gifted with many tourist attractions. If you decide to discover the charms of this city for yourself, the following are seven of the most luxurious hotels in Lima for accommodating your stay. Avail yourself of the comfort and services of these hotels as you experience one of the most interesting cities in Latin America!

The hotel previously served as a beach shelter during the presidency of Augusto Legua, in 1920, hence its historical atmosphere. It is also nestled in a perfect setting, surrounded by galleries and artist workshops, and boasts an excellent collection of art for the exclusive delight of guests.

The traditional service combined with an innovative touch, as well as the ancestral Peruvian ingredients in fusion with traditional flavors, are the basis of this delectable food that can be tasted in Hotel BÂ’s restaurant. In the lounge bar there is a fine selection of South American wines and Peruvian Pisco sour, which can also be enjoyed with a meal on an adjacent terrace.

In addition, there is a private, outdoor lounge where you can enjoy striking views of the elegant El Barranco district and the Pacific Ocean.
Belmond Miraflores Park Hotel
