“What strikes me most is this Arequipa hotel's devotion to creating a lively social hub, apparent from the yoga classes, swimming pool, and garden, all within a short walk of the Santa Catalina Convent. I'm particularly drawn to the idea of sampling local flavors with the hotel's breakfast and barbecue brunches. It seems ideal for those seeking both cultural immersion and relaxation.”
