General Borgono 116, Miraflores, Lima, Peru | (511) 616-9900
The 64-room Thunderbird Hotel J. Pardo is a simple upper-middle-range business property offering good value for money in central Miraflores, near shopping and dining. All rooms are large, comfortable suites with great beds, separate living areas with basic kitchenettes and dining tables, and clean bathrooms with big jetted tubs. Decor, though, is somewhat plain and dated throughout, and units on lower floors may get traffic noise. The restaurant serves average international cuisine along with local specialties such as ceviche and pisco sour in a light-filled room off the lobby, as well as a basic but free breakfast buffet. Other freebies include outdoor parking and Wi-Fi. Hotel Runcu Miraflores has lower rates and cheery rooms, and is closer to the waterfront area.

What are the Design and Scene Like at Thunderbird Hotel J. Pardo?
Simple business hotel that prioritizes comfort over style
Housed in a 19-story mirror-clad tower in Lima’s bustling Miraflores District, the Thunderbird Hotel J. Pardo looks just like any other business hotel and corporate building in the area. Interiors are simple rather than stylish, with somewhat dated decor that draws heavily on marble-like finishes and wood paneling, and slightly tired furniture. Cheerful pops of red and a variety of lush plants, along with floor-to-ceiling windows in many of the hotel’s common spaces give the property a pleasant, welcoming feel. This Thunderbird hotel -- part of a small local chain -- draws a mix of business travelers and couples with competitive rates and large suites with basic cooking facilities and great beds.
Hotel San Blas is a good alternative for travelers on a tighter budget, offering clean rooms with free Wi-Fi and air-conditioning, a decent restaurant, and free breakfast. Sister property Thunderbird Fiesta Hotel is a tad more upscale and features a huge 24-hour casino, a spa, and an indoor pool. For something with additional features, consider the Sonesta Hotel El Olivar, located in upscale San Isidro neighborhood.
Where is Thunderbird Hotel J. Pardo Located?
In central Miraflores, near shops and restaurants, and a 20-minute drive from the historic center
The Thunderbird Hotel J. Pardo is located on a bustling avenue in Miraflores, within walking distance of shops, galleries, and parks. The area is home to many hotels, cafes, pubs, restaurants, and stores. Calle de Las Pizzas, located about a five-minute walk away, is lined with pubs and bars that are filled with teenagers and young adults, especially on weekends. Many of the area’s attractions, including Miraflores Park, Museo Amano, and Huaca Pucllana, can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot, while Parque del Amor and Larcomar Mall are a 10-minute drive away. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Lima’s historic district, and 30 minutes to reach the airport in normal traffic conditions.
What are Rooms Like at Thunderbird Hotel J. Pardo?
Simple, large suites with basic kitchenettes, big windows, and separate living areas
The hotel has 64 large, clean one-bedroom suites, all decorated in a simple, somewhat bland style that combines brown carpets, classic (and slightly dated) wooden furniture, and white walls. Though far from sleek and modern, rooms are comfortable and spacious, offering separate living areas complete with dining tables and big windows that offer street views. Units on top floors offer great views of the city. Kitchenettes are available in all suites as well, and include microwaves, mini-fridges, sinks, and coffeemakers -- but no cooktops or hot plates. Other standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and safes. Beds get great reviews from past guests, and they're topped with duvets, five pillows, and brown bed runners.
What Features are Available at Thunderbird Hotel J. Pardo?
Decent restaurant, small gym, four meeting rooms, and free outdoor parking
Cafe 21 is the hotel’s only restaurant, located in a sunny room with floor-to-ceiling windows just off the lobby. The menu is varied and includes local specialties such as a wide range of ceviches, as well as international options, including filet mignon, salads, carpaccio, rice, and pastas. A basic but tasty breakfast buffet is served here every morning free of charge. With a handful of cardio and strength-training machines, some free weights, and large windows that open onto a small terrace with city views, the gym is a pleasant spot for a quick workout. Guests are also offered free use of a dry sauna.
