Best hotels in Arequipa

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.

In Peru, the Casa Andina hotels are well known for offering fantastic quality and value for money - and this one is no exception. Boasting a truly unbeatable location right on Arequipa’s main square, Casa Andina Select not only offers modern rooms and great service, but front row seats to views of the imposing Basilica Cathedral across the street and the constant flurry of activities at the square. Tasty food and drinks round off the experience, as does the prospect of needing nothing but your two feet to set off to explore the many sights on your doorstep.

Unlike most of the other top-notch hotels in Arequipa, Costa del Sol Wyndham sets itself apart by its location in the Selva Alegre neighbourhood, where the property’s 3 hectares are surrounded by extensive gardens and views of the imposing volcanoes. The Wyndham's classic elegance is combined with modern, renovated facilities, including an outdoor pool and excellent restaurant and bar. It's also far enough from the hustle and bustle of the touristy part of town to enjoy some peace and quiet, but close enough to walk to the main sights. All in all, a great home base for exploring the “White City” and getting a feel for Arequipa.

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.
