Expert reviews
“This refurbished mansion mixes modern with classical to dramatic effect. There are 17 eclectic rooms (some can feel a bit overstuffed) surrounding a courtyard planted with a living wall of figs. Popular with non guests, the lovely bar specializes in G&Ts and Gatsby moments.”
“This 1914 Belle Epoque mansion, originally designed as a seaside retreat for the Garcia Bedoya family by French architect Claude Sahut, redefined Lima’s hotel scene when it opened in 2013.”
“Lima’s most beautiful hotel offers five-star service in an intimate, palatial setting, and is located in a lively neighbourhood. A perfect choice for a honeymoon, anniversary or special occasion for those who can afford it.”

All you need to know
Hotel B stands as a striking white mansion, epitomizing the Belle Époque era. Crafted in 1914 by esteemed French architect Claude Sahut, this grand structure served as the summer getaway for former president Augusto Leguia throughout much of the 1920s.
Behind its grand exterior lies an opulent interior featuring lofty ceilings, Italian marble elements, and a splendid living area lit by vintage chandeliers. The guest rooms, distributed across the historic mansion and the newly added three-story extension, fall into three distinct categories.
The “Atelier” rooms, boasting eye-catching dark-wood fixtures, freestanding tubs, and secluded balconies overlooking the courtyard, are deemed the most lavish.
Even the basic rooms exude a romantic, slightly indulgent atmosphere. Furnished with charming 1920s pieces, captivating artwork, and vintage suitcases here and aged maps in glass frames there, these spaces evoke memories of a more glamorous travel era.

A very special property
A beautiful, unique property with tons of character. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. Tea time and complimentary drinks were lovely extras. The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean, and the bathroom/tub sublime ☺️. Thoughtful little touches everywhere and the art is a bonus. The hotel and its staff go above and beyond to make your stay extra special. Great restaurant recommendations too! Within walking distance of the main Barranco attractions. A few reviews call out rooftop noise. Our room was on the second floor, so we had NO noise and slept like babies.
Nothing! I wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfect
Great location, sophisticated and understated style, excellent breakfast and food in general as well as being close to some world class restaurants. Hands down clearly the best place to stay in Lima.
Nothing. Only wish the location allowed for a pool or rooftop deck - if it did, I'd have to live there :))

Charming- friendly and most comfortable
The friendliest staff of any hotel at which I stayed. Charming Is a good description of the “B”
Maybe a little more room in the bathroom, but not a major setback

The perfect stay!
The location was perfect, close enough to bars and restaurants but still felt quiet and residential. The rooftop bar was great and amazing to watch the sunset from up there! We had a large group of friends joining us one evening for drinks on the rooftop and at check-in they provided a contact number we could use to make the reservation, and anything else we might need! Every snack, meal or drink we ate at Hotel B was delicious, and every member of staff was amazing!
Nothing!

A must-stay place in Lima--near everything, plus gorgeous interiors
Fabulous selection for breakfast, including many non-traditional foods. Gorgeous rooftop terrace with fantastic cocktails. Artwork like staying in a contemporary museum. Loved everything about the hotel!
Rooms in the same category (aposento) vary wildly in size. So you may think you're getting a big room but the one we got was actually quite small. Friends in same category had palaces! (I think we were in 220)

worth the money to stay in an art gallery!
fabulous rooftop with wonderful sunset views to the ocean. beds are so comfortable. ceilings are so high. amazing artwork—like sleeping in a contemporary art gallery. walking distance to Kjolle, Awicha and other great spots.

great location, good service, very nice room. just make sure you dont stay on ground floor near the restaurant
very good location, room are big and the arts in the hotel are very interested
our room was on the ground floor, near the courtyard that it’s noisy as they run events pretty often.

Like staying in a gorgeous art gallery with fantastic beds, an amazing breakfast and beautiful rooftop
The hotel is amazing in so many ways: excellent location in the absolute best part of Lima and in walking distance to great restaurants: Awicha, Isolina, Kjolle; the most comfortable beds in the world; fabulous rooftop terrace and bar with a drink called Chingon; and an incredible perfume smell that reminds me so much of all the great hotels in SE Asia. Fantastic breakfast with do much selection including lots of non-breakfast items like chicken in cream sauce, olives, cáptese salad and hummus, plus all the egg dishes as well.
it’s pricey so I suppose that’s a drawback for some.

amazing boutique hotel
The hotel hit the mark. it was clean, great service and a very charming place with a huge art collection spread over the house. while it’s a boutique hotel, it didn’t lack athmosphere as the restaurant/ bar seems to be a popular destination. the rooms are far enough from the restaurant that one gets to enjoy the vibrant hotel and yet retain full privacy once in the rooms.
i loved everything.

extraordinary

nothing it was all amazing
