Historic property in central Arequipa

Lovely old property in central Arequipa, thoughtfully renovated. Good location, less than 10 minutes’ walk to Plaza de Armas. Excellent restaurants & cafés nearby. Pretty garden.

Perfect for a few days in Arequipa.

A truly charming hotel with a wonderful atmosphere. The entire property is beautifully maintained, creating a relaxing and welcoming environment. The room was spacious and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The only minor downside was the very poor lighting – in the evenings, even with all the lights on, the room was quite dark. The staff was very friendly - special thanks to the lady in the restaurant – her smile truly gave us energy for the entire day :) The location is also excellent, with the Plaza de Armas just a short walk away.

Loved Our Stay

Gorgeous old property in a fabulous location. Close to all the best restaurants and attractions in Arequipa. Our room was huge and super comfortable - it felt like a little sanctuary every time we came back "home". Breakfast was plentiful and the ladies in the kitchen were very lovely and helpful.

Beautiful property in an exquisite setting.

Casa de Melgar is a rambling old building full of character. I couldn’t imagine staying in a nicer setting in Arequipa. It is an easy walk to the Plaza de Armas. The staff are friendly and accommodating. They offered to prepare us breakfast for our 3am start on our last day. Breakfast is plentiful.

Perfect for a few days in Arequipa

Gorgeous interior and really large rooms with great bathrooms and hot water. The staff were lovely and the hotel felt very safe as there was always someone on the door to lock and unlock. The location was perfect for being walkable to all of Arequipa’s main attractions.
