Sonesta Posada del Inca

Frommer's Review

Now that it's been acquired by the Sonesta chain, things are looking up for this hotel with the most coveted location in Arequipa, right on the stately Plaza de Armas. Even if that's the best thing about this large hotel, it's still plenty. It's perfectly located to allow you to see and do everything in Arequipa with ease. The hotel has gotten a partial but not yet full makeover, so the dated casino lobby decor, an awkward step back into the 1970s, is thankfully gone. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, if not luxurious, with a retro feel to them; the desirable executive rooms on upper floors have attractive terraces under the porticoes with plaza views. There's also a nice little rooftop pool framed by flower beds and sweeping views of the cathedral and volcanoes in the distance, and the restaurant bar has seats overlooking the Plaza. Look out for Web-only specials that can be as little as half the rack rate.
