This luxury property may be the stateliest hotel in Lima, with a wood-paneled lobby and a chic rooftop pool deck featuring amazing ocean and city views. Rooms are elegant, with royal blue upholstery, gold-toned accents, Italian sheets, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, and rain showerheads in the marble bathrooms. But they're not quite as luxurious as one might expect for the price, and could use an update. The hotel's Miraflores location is superb, near both the enormous Larcomar mall and the beach.

The Doubletree El Pardo is a solid mid-range option in a city where hotel room quality varies widely. Rooms at this chain property are fairly generic, but pops of bright green or orange furniture and artwork add some style. Bathrooms are clean and offer modern fixtures along with plenty of space. The stand-out features here are the rooftop indoor pool and the free parking, both of which are relatively rare in Lima. For a reliable hotel with free Wi-Fi, an on-site bar, and business center, this Hilton-owned property is a solid pick.

This four-pearl business hotel, located on the western edge of residential San Isidoro, is perfectly adequate, though nothing about it really stands out. The small outdoor pool is average, and the spa -- though affordable -- is somewhat uninviting. There is a nicely equipped fitness center, and the business center is spacious with multiple computers and free coffee. Most of the 180 rooms aren’t anything special, with somewhat bland decor, and in some, old tube TVs. The Level, which is the concierge floor, offers more bang for the buck -- with free breakfast buffet and an evening open bar, as well as rooms with flat-screen TVs, deep Jacuzzi tubs, and a more contemporary style. It's worth comparing rates with the Sonesta Hotel El Olivar and the Swissotel, both of which have more central locations in the San Isidoro neighborhood.

The two-and-a-half pearl Ibis Larco Miraflores is a comfortable and clean hotel in the Miraflores district of Lima, about seven minutes from the beach. The 247 rooms are decently-sized with simple furnishings, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs, but they lack tea- and coffee-making facilities and mini-fridges. Features include a breakfast buffet with eggs as the hot option (for a fee), a restaurant and bar, and free Wi-Fi throughout. The biggest complaints center around interactions with reception staff and checking in. Mariel Hotel is a good alternative for a free breakfast and rooms with minibars.

The 345-room luxury Swissotel Lima is a business-oriented hotel situated in the affluent business district of San Isidro. With a 2015 renovation, the hotel added over 100 guest rooms, plus meeting rooms, a new gym and full-service spa, and a posh connected indoor/outdoor pool with a wood patio. There's also a lobby bar and five restaurants, including Swiss, Mediterranean, and Japanese restaurants decorated to match the fare. Rooms are spacious with huge bathrooms and modern amenities like minibars, espresso machines, and free Wi-Fi, though rooms not included in the renovation aren't quite as stylish and modern as the updated options. Travelers looking for a more intimate luxury hotel might consider the Country Club Lima Hotel, which features more traditional decor and country-club access.

The 134-room Sonesta El Olivar is a high-end choice in the upscale residential neighborhood of San Isidro. Aside from its safe, walkable location, the hotel stands out for its long list of on-site amenities: a fitness center, a salon, a business center with free coffee and cookies, a spacious rooftop pool, two tasty restaurants, and 24-hour room service. Rooms are large, with massive flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, minibars, and fresh flowers (a nice touch), but the beige-heavy decor -- with some dated furniture and sparsely adorned walls -- isn't as luxurious as one may expect from a four-pearl hotel.

The mid-range Hotel Vila Santa Miraflores has 25 modern rooms across 10 floors in the southeast corner of the Miraflores district. It's a nine-minute walk to the Cabitos Metro station, and at least a 15-minute drive to the neighborhood's famous tourist spots. Spacious rooms are dressed in warm woods and include free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, though only some have air-conditioning. Walls are thin and street-facing rooms can be noisy on lower floors. A colorful rooftop restaurant and a functional gym add a bit of value over other nearby mid-range hotels. Free parking, bike rentals, and a free continental breakfast are included in all reservations. Travelers wanting a bit more romance closer to the beach should consider the Antigua Miraflores Hotel, a boutique alternative that will be a bit pricier.

The location of the upscale JW Marriott Lima, overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the exclusive Miraflores neighborhood, is one of its best features. With its plentiful shopping, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, affluent Miraflores is a hot spot for visitors; the uber-trendy Larcomar mall is just across the street. Its 300 rooms are sophisticated and spacious, and many have panoramic ocean views. The restaurant is one of the best in town and the gym is exceptionally large and well equipped, but the outdoor pool is only open four months a year. Those traveling for leisure instead of business might consider the Belmond Miraflores Park. It has the same level of comfort at the same price point and terrific ocean views, plus its impressive rooftop pool is open year-round.

The eclectic, three-pearl Tierra Viva Miraflores Larco has 44 modern rooms in the heart of Lima's culturally rich Miraflores neighborhood. The area's popular with tourists as it's home to the Huaca Pucllana (10- to 20-minute drive), as well as other must-sees like Parque Kennedy and the Larcomar mall, both conveniently within a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Carpeted contemporary rooms have subtle artsy details, but are otherwise plain, and include air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and small flat-screen TVs. Some rooms can be noisy due to both indoor and outdoor noise -- including the nightclub across the street -- and features are limited to a free breakfast. For a hotel that's closer to the beach, the Runcu Hotel is a mid-range hotel with similar features that's a bit cheaper.

Even though The Sonesta Posadas del Inca Miraflores is a small hotel with only 28 rooms, all units are extremely generous with what space there is. A double room includes two separate sleeping areas with modern lighting, comfortable bedding, city views, and clean marble bathrooms. The hotel has few amenities other than a mediocre bar and restaurant, and the Internet can only be accessed from the tiny business center (where guests are limited to 20 minutes of use). The prime location in Miraflores with nearby shops and restaurants may be the hotel's best asset.
