History: Hotel built in the early 20th century
“Adjacent to Plaza San Martín in Lima's historic district, this renovated building provides a unique stay with its early 1920s architecture and traditionally styled rooms. I found the focus on Peruvian cuisine, especially the Pisco Sour Catedral, and the location near major attractions like Plaza Mayor to be particularly appealing. I think this property offers a solid base for exploring Lima's historical heart.”
