JW Marriott Hotel Lima
Perched just across the street from Larcomar shopping mall, this gleaming glass tower commands some of the best ocean views in Lima. You can pick up just about anything your heart desires, from chocolate-chip cookies to diamond earrings, in one of the nearby shops. The hotel is also walking distance from dozens of restaurants and bars, as well as the seaside parks of the malecón. As for the rooms, they're quite handsome, with large marble bathrooms and big windows. The on-site La Vista restaurant boasts a superb (though pricey) lunchtime buffet, as well as a more affordable afternoon tea.
