“A wonderful weekend in a great hotel with a spectacular view at breakfast.”
The interior room had a large sliding glass door that opened to a light well. It was an ingenious invention of frosted glass panes that kept privacy but allowed in maximum natural light. I have never encountered anything as clever and well executed. Bravo!

“Loved it!”
The location, the room we had a suite overlooking the Plaza de Armas (perhaps optimistically named the Presidential suite but a very nice change from the standard room. The terrace facing the Cathedral with Vulcan Misti behind it is a must as the sun goes down. Best Pisco Sours and their Trilogy of Ceviche (white fish, octopus and trucha) take top marks!!!

The location directly in front of the Plaza de Armas. Upon arrival at 10:00 am, I didn’t expect to have early check in, but receptionist was very kind to offer me a room that they had available and clean. I am really thankful for that Breakfast is served at the roof top, mainly you select from à la carte menu Bathroom was renovated but not the room

“Great hotel with superb location and rooftop”
Great location with clean and beautiful rooms. The rooftop was great, too. They even prepared lunch boxes for us, as we left to Colca Canyon before the official begin of breakfast.
