2 Best Hotels in Lima, Peru

Flowering gardens, trilling exotic birds, purling fountains: this converted quinta on a quiet Miraflores side street oozes charm from every terra-cotta tile of its Andalusian architecture. A series of shaded terraces allows guests to relax after a day of sightseeing, while the common areas beguile with their displays of Peruvian knick-knacks. The hotel has no restaurant, pool, or spa, but for those who prize aesthetics and location, this is one of the pleasantest lodgings in Lima.

Budget-conscious travelers appreciate this modern B&B's sleek accommodations, convenient location, and reasonable rates. Guest rooms are simple but functional, with wooden floors, small baths, and cable TV. Most rooms on the ground floor overlook tiny atria, but those on the second floor are brighter. At the lodging's center is a spacious lounge decorated with paintings by local artists where breakfast is served and a computer is available for guest use. The house is located on one of Barranco's quieter streets, a short walk from restaurants and nightlife.
