HOTEL B

The hotel's garden terrace is the perfect spot for relaxed dining, while Peruvian tradition meets Mediterranean style in the informal restaurant. Post-independence 19th-century sensibilities truly come to life during el lonche, the Peruvian answer to afternoon tea, with homemade hot chocolates and traditional sweet treats. A rooftop deck presents views of the Pacific and a sublime spa, while an art concierge will advise on the latest gallery openings and private viewings nearby, as well as lead private tours of Hotel B's own impressive collection.

The Barranco district boasts plenty to do in and of itself. Art lovers will continue to be amazed by the modern works on display at the Contemporary Art Museum, the more traditional 16th and 19th century pieces showcased at the Pedro de Osma Museum and the colourful street art dotted around the neighbourhood. Further afield, the Miraflores district is host to a range of enticing shopping centres and boutiques as well as the Peruvian capital's best-known stretch of coastline where surf lessons offer an outlet for watersports lovers.
