Fodor's Expert Review Hotel B

Av. San Martín 301, Lima, Lima, 04, Peru

Also known as Arts Boutique Hotel B, this lodging-cum-art gallery in a refurbished, turn-of-the-century mansion is a feast for the senses, with its impressive collection of works by up-and-coming Latin American artists, 1920s charm, rooftop deck, and impeccable service. Located next to the Lucía de la Puente Gallery, the 17-room casona charms you into believing you're staying in the home of a wealthy art collector. Rooms in the main house are gorgeous, with high ceilings and hardwood floors, while several "Atelier" suites have private balconies and porcelain bathtubs. Light sleepers, however, may prefer a room in the new annex, which is better insulated from street noise.Free breakfast and complimentary afternoon tea are served in the biblioteca (library) and adjacent terrace. Locals and guests flock to the bar-restaurant at night to enjoy the selection of Peruvian and Mediterranean dishes.
