Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Miraflores
The JW Marriott occupies the most dramatic clifftop position in Miraflores — its spectacular ocean views, comprehensive spa facilities, and proximity to Lima's greatest restaurant concentration making it the reliable luxury standard for business and leisure travellers alike.
Miraflores
Perched on the dramatic clifftops above the Pacific, the Belmond Miraflores Park commands Lima's finest coastal panorama — with an outdoor pool seemingly suspended over the ocean and the outstanding El Cantón restaurant earning consistent recognition among Peru's finest tables.
Miraflores
The Hilton's Miraflores property delivers consistent international-standard luxury in a prime location — within walking distance of Lima's finest restaurants and the Larcomar clifftop mall, with ocean views from upper-floor rooms and a reliable spa.
Barranco
Lima's most beguiling boutique hotel inhabits a restored 1914 Republic-era mansion in bohemian Barranco — where 17 unique art-filled rooms, an extraordinary collection of Peruvian art throughout the property, and the celebrated B restaurant create an experience of profound cultural immersion.
San Isidro
An architectural landmark since 1927, the Country Club is Lima's grand old dame — a Tudor-style mansion in the financial district of San Isidro with manicured gardens, a storied pool, and the kind of Edwardian comfort that ambassadors and CEOs have always gravitated toward.
Miraflores
A thoughtfully designed boutique hotel in the heart of Miraflores that punches well above its rate class — with individually decorated rooms, a roof terrace, and the kind of personal service that makes even short stays feel genuinely memorable.
