Historic, romantic property -- a Peruvian cultural monument -- that fuses classic charm with modern design touches
Built in 1927, this is a romantic, business-geared property that has been declared a Peruvian cultural monument, and there are 300+ pieces of celebrated artwork on loan here. The grand, colonial-style cream building’s dome-like entrance has a red-carpet approach, fronted by symmetrical palm trees and hedges. The extravagantly decorated lobby retains original charm, including beautiful dark-wood ceiling beams, suspended chandelier-style downlighting, and a mix of posh cream-and-gray marble flooring and ornate red-and-black carpet. Wood features heavily, including in the classic-feeling Perroquet Restaurant and the moody English Bar. The bright, airy Salon Vitrales has a skylight roof and white marble flooring, and the well-tended grounds sport a secret-garden feel, especially around the plunge pool. Guests are a mix of well-heeled couples, families, and business travelers.
