About Casa Andina Premium Arequipa

A refined colonial-era hotel within walking distance of the city’s top sights and eateries

Casa Andina Premium Arequipa is one of the city’s most unique hotels: built with beautiful ashlar masonry, the 230 year-old property was once the Peruvian Casa de la Moneda (National Mint). Set in a fantastic location, a 5-minute walk to the Main Square and only two blocks away from the emblematic Santa Catalina monastery, one of Arequipa’s must-visit landmarks, it's an excellent city base for all the sights. And with the perfect combination of colonial-era setting with modern amenities and a romantic vibe, a stay here is sure to elevate your visit to Arequipa - especially if you opt for the senior or imperial suite.

Property details

The property

The hotel’s romantic atmosphere comes from the Spanish architecture and refined décor that features many of the original frescoes and reliefs. The common areas, including the bar and restaurant, are embellished by antiques and metal sculptures, as is the beautiful arcaded courtyard, the heart of the hotel and perfect for relaxing or al fresco dining. The fourth-floor terrace offers amazing views of Arequipa and the imposing Misti volcano in the distance. Although there’s no pool or gym, the spa offers a selection of treatments and is well worth a visit.

The rooms

The hotel’s 40 rooms are all cosy and lovely. The standard rooms - a touch on the small side - feature simple décor with carpeted floors and King-size or twin beds as well as a small breakfast table. Junior suites definitely offer more space, but the larger senior and imperial suites take first prize with their original architecture and colonial décor. All rooms have beautiful artworks on the walls, hardwood floors, gilded mirrors, iron chandeliers and spacious bathrooms with separate showers and bathtubs.

Activities

There is no shortage of activities when visiting Arequipa: take a stroll to the Plaza de Armas (Main Square) and peek into the gorgeous Basilica Cathedral - if you’re going to visit just one of the many churches around, let it be this one! Check out the monastery of Santa Catalina for amazing history and art pieces or go on the “sillar” route to discover why Arequipa is known as “the White City”. But spare enough time to get a taste of the local cuisine at the picanterías too!

Why we love it

The breakfast buffet! It’s plentiful, fresh, yummy and served al fresco in the hotel’s charming central courtyard.

Insiders Tip

Arequipa is the birthplace of some of the most delicious Peruvian dishes, and some of the city’s best restaurants - like Chicha or Zig Zag - are within a 5-minute walk from the hotel.

Something to think about

Rooms on the ground floor can get some noise from outside, while a few of the standard rooms have small-ish windows with no views and little natural light. If these are deal breakers, plump for a suite.
