About Palacio Guaqui by Ananay Hotels

Volcanic stone walls whisper tales of counts and conquistadors in this majestic mansion.
Behind grand walls of white volcanic stone, a 19th-century count's mansion has been lovingly transformed into something rather special. Three tranquil patios provide moments of peace from the bustle of the historical centre, while vaulted ceilings and ancient stonework transport you to an era of aristocratic grandeur. The clever restoration work by local artisans means you can wallow in historical charm without sacrificing modern comforts - think sumptuous beds and rain showers alongside centuries-old architectural details.
From $120 per person/per night

Property details

The property

Three elegant courtyards form the heart of this architectural gem, each offering a different mood for your morning coffee or evening cocktail. The restaurant celebrates Peru's acclaimed culinary heritage with clever twists on traditional dishes. When you're not exploring the historical centre, retreat to one of the hidden corners with a book, or arrange for a skilled masseuse to work out those travel knots in the privacy of your room.

The rooms

From cozy Mini Suites with private terraces to the spectacular two-story Master Suites, each room tells its own story through exposed ashlar walls and restored colonial features. The piece de resistance is the Arequipa Suite, complete with its own internal patio and atmospheric library. All rooms come with rainfall showers, cloud-soft beds and air conditioning, while some feature original vaulted ceilings that add an extra touch of grandeur to your morning routine.
