Casa Arequipa

Frommer's Review

This outstanding inn is something that's very unusual in Peru, akin to a European boutique hotel, and it is one of the most luxurious places to stay in the country -- for a bargain price. In a beautifully restored, pink 1950s mansion in the quiet Vallecito residential district, just a short walk or cab ride from the Plaza de Armas, it features elegantly designed guest rooms, with nicely chosen antiques, very comfortable beds, and the finest towels and bed linens you'll find in Peru. Photographs of the Andes, taken by the owner -- who splits his time between Arequipa and Washington, D.C. -- decorate rooms, and fresh flowers are placed in every room and throughout the house. The excellent bathrooms, several with tubs, are of gleaming marble. The breakfast buffet and personal attention is worthy of a five-star hotel.
