Client comments and reviews

Hotel B was excellent and although we did not dine there we had two excellent breakfasts in a small but classy area. The hotel oozes art and our rooms were quite outstanding. They were large, comfortable well appointed with bath and shower/wet room. A great introduction to our tour and to South America. - RP (October 2019)

This is a terrific hotel. Situated in the former seaside retreat of a Peruvian president, the building retains many of its original 1920s fixtures and fittings and is a real delight in itself. The ?Atelier? rooms are large and extremely well appointed, with all the amenities that you would expect from a 5 star hotel. The welcome was very warm and nothing was too much trouble. The bar was small but well-staffed and they certainly knew how to make cocktails. The breakfast was a good, fresh buffet and other items could be made to order. We had dinner in the hotel on one evening, on a busy Saturday night. There are two dining areas ? a small inside area, which is relaxed and intimate, and an outside candle-lit patio. The menu is an inventive combination of ?tapas? and larger plates, making for an interesting dining experience with lots of sharing - the food was good too. However, the service let things down with the waiting staff being rather over-worked. Whilst the hotel is a fair distance from the historic centre of Lima, I would certainly stay here again and use a guide and driver to visit the sights of the old town. - ML (September 2015)
