About Lima

Lima is a city of contrasts, where clifftop glamour meets bohemian charm and colonial grandeur rubs shoulders with creative cool. Whether you want Pacific views from a rooftop pool, a romantic escape in a sculptor’s former home, or a stylish hideaway in Barranco’s artsy backstreets, the best places to stay in Lima offer something for every kind of traveller. From family-friendly comfort to boutique indulgence, this coastal capital has stays as varied as its vibrant neighbourhoods.

Some of our Lima collections:

Lima’s neighbourhoods are distinct enough to shape your whole trip. Base yourself in Barranco for cobbled streets, art galleries and colourful colonial mansions—ideal for those who love a local vibe with a touch of elegance. You’ll be steps from oceanfront promenades, indie boutiques and some of the city’s best coffee shops and seafood spots. Over in Miraflores, the vibe is more polished: perfect for families or first-time visitors looking for beach access, shopping centres like Larcomar, and walkable access to coastal parks like El Malecón. Stay here for world-class dining, from hole-in-the-wall cevicherías to upscale Asian-Peruvian fusion. For a more tranquil retreat, San Isidro blends business-sleek and old-world charm, with leafy avenues, golf courses, and fine restaurants nestled between embassies and museums. Culture lovers can explore pre-Columbian treasures at the Larco Museum or take in Lima’s grand colonial core with a visit to the Plaza Mayor and ornate churches. Night owls can dip into craft cocktail bars or live music venues tucked into restored mansions. Wherever you base yourself, Lima rewards curious travellers—and a good hotel can put the whole city at your feet.
