Built in 1927, the Country Club Lima Hotel has a claim to being Peru’s only hotel and national cultural monument. Complete with over 300 pieces of original 16th to 18th-century artwork on loan from the Pedro de Osma Museum, the hotel is not only a place for rest but also home to an ad hoc art gallery for those who love the arts. The extravagantly decorated lobby retains the original 1920’s charm, including beautiful dark-wood ceiling beams, suspended chandeliers and a mix of luxurious marble flooring with ornate red and black carpeting. Rooms are well-appointed, spacious and feature all of the homelike luxuries that you might expect coupled with pleasant views of the surroundings. The hotel has a small outdoor plunge pool, small gym, spa, and ‘local approved and recommended’ restaurant and bars.

• The on-site restaurant has received several awards for being the best hotel restaurant in Peru (Summum Awards), we suggest that you book in advance as it is quite popular among locals.
• Take a walk before sunset time to the pre-Inca pyramid Huaca Huallamarca. Especially in the evening when it is beautifully naturally illuminated, a great ‘secret tip’ for hobbyist photographers.
• The classic and charming English bar is also well known for serving one of the best Pisco Sours in town.
• From January through April (summer and spring months) take a dip into the open-air pool before breakfast.
• The hotel features some paintings from the Pedro de Osma Museum in its small gallery (considered jewels of the colonial arts).
