This charming early-20th-century mansion, full of authentic Peruvian touches and color, calls itself “a hidden treasure in the heart of Miraflores.” As many return visitors know, that’s not just hype. The hotel is owned and operated by a North American who’s a long-time Lima resident. The house is elegant and tasteful, lined with colonial Peruvian art and built around a leafy courtyard.
The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. Rooms range from huge suites with large Jacuzzis and kitchenettes to comfortable double rooms with handcrafted furniture and good-quality beds. Most bathrooms are quite luxurious, with colonial tiles, brass fixtures, and bathtubs. The public rooms look more like an art gallery than a hotel lobby.
