Hotel B is a standout property in Lima, offering a blend of art, history, and understated luxury in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Tucked into the heart of Barranco, Lima’s bohemian district, the hotel is just a short and pleasant walk from the central plaza, the Bridge of Sighs, and a wide array of galleries, cafés, and coastal viewpoints. Its location alone makes it an excellent base for exploring the city’s cultural and culinary offerings.
Housed in a restored Belle Époque mansion with a colonial past, the hotel is a Relais & Châteaux property—and that pedigree shows. The layout is elegant and intimate, with high ceilings, dramatic woodwork, and thoughtfully preserved architectural details. A contemporary wing connects seamlessly to the original structure, creating a flowing interior that doubles as an art gallery. The rotating collection of artwork throughout the property gives every hallway and common space a curated, gallery-like atmosphere.
Breakfast is a highlight, served in the refined dining room or on the lovely patio, with a selection of fresh juices, pastries, and made-to-order options. One note for guests: the hotel offers an afternoon tea service with a buffet of small bites and desserts, but it does come with an extra charge—something to be aware of when planning your stay.
Though Hotel B doesn’t offer extensive amenities like a gym or spa, it more than compensates with its design, atmosphere, and personalized service. Staying here feels like being a guest in a beautifully restored private home—elegant, artful, and truly unique.
