About This Guide
The view from above changes everything. Lima's best rooftop hotels don't just offer a room with a view — they offer entire elevated experiences. Rooftop bars where the city's skyline becomes your backdrop, infinity pools that seem to merge with the horizon, and open-air restaurants where every table has a panorama. Hilton Lima Miraflores boasts what many consider the finest rooftop panorama in Lima, with 360-degree views and a cocktail programme curated by an award-winning mixologist. JW Marriott Lima features a stunning infinity pool that's become one of the most photographed hotel features in the city. We've evaluated not just the views but the complete rooftop experience — quality of food and drinks, atmosphere, seating comfort, and whether the space feels genuinely special or merely elevated.

Make dinner reservations for rooftop restaurants well in advance, especially on weekends.
Pack a light layer — rooftop temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.
Request a west-facing room for in-room sunset views as well.
