Frommer's Review

One of Lima's most exclusive and sophisticated properties is this sparkling high-rise hotel. Formerly the Peruvian-owned Oro Verde, it takes its pedigree as part of the international Swissôtel chain very seriously: The hotel is very Continental classy. The lobby is awash in fine carpets, corridors are curiously lined with giant neoclassical columns, restaurants serve Swiss and Italian as well as Peruvian fare, and service is, of course, eminently efficient. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Executive rooms include a work desk, two telephone lines, a coffee machine, a private executive lounge/boardroom, and cocktails(!). For business facilities, this property rivals the Marriott and Miraflores Park Hotel, although I find the last the most distinguished of the three. Value rates and packages are often available.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; cafeteria; bar/lounge; small heated outdoor pool; fitness center; spa; sauna; concierge; tour desk; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
