Beautiful historic hotel

The hotel is full of charm and character from its glory days as Lima's most luxurious hotel. It has been beautifully maintained and we loved our stay there. It was like stepping back i to another era.

This is an old hotel. I would urge the hotel to put an electrical outlet in the bathroom if possible and to put outlets near the bedside tables for people who use cpap machines if possible. Otherwise we had a pleasant stay and loved the elegant antique furnishings.

A time capsule from the 1920s

Absolutely amazing hotel with so much history. If you prefer the beauty of bygone eras over modernity this is the hotel for you. Splurge and get the junior suite. It's basically an entire apartment with gorgeous inlaid hardwood floors, 15 ft ceilings a balcony and many period features.

This place is amazing, what a beautiful hotel in the heart of Lima I would definitely recommend this place and will come back. The staff was wonderful, I arrived seven hours before check in and my plan was to leave my luggage in the front office closet and come back to check in but they were able to check me in seven hours prior at no extra cost. They definitely left a good impression and will definitely come back here when I'm in Lima.

This hotel is full of history! Many celebrities have stayed here, and the antique decor makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. The food was delicious, and they even prepared a to-go breakfast for us when we left at 4 AM—it was amazing! If you want to experience the charm of old Peru, this is the perfect place to stay.

The hotel is 100 years old and it shows. Room was spacious but it smelled, we tried to sleep with the windows opened but the noise from the plaza San Martin is unbearable. We stayed here two nights and we were given room 406. Across the street there is a nightclub, on Friday the music stopped around 2am but on Saturday night the music was still going on at 5am (the time we left for the airport) Windows are not double sided and you hear everything from outside. If you a lighter sleeper maybe request a higher floor to avoid the noise. The staff were always helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good. The hotel lobby and restaurant were beautiful and it had a lot of history.
