Atemporal by Andean

Style

Timeless townhouse

Setting

Magical Miraflores

The best hotels are timeless, so we’re really quite taken with Atemporal by Andean, a classic casa to call home in Lima’s Miraflores barrio. The nine-room hotelito is within walking distance of the cevicherias that kicked off the Peruvian capital’s raw-fish revolution, and is modelled to look like a very big house in the country. The Anglophile owner has trotted around the globe, returning with contemporary and antique pieces to bedeck his homey manor with. With a handy house car, staff who’ll make the restaurant reservations so you don’t have to and cosy, comforting interiors, you won’t care what time or day it is.

Our Favourite Rooms

Each room has an elegant mix of local art and antiques but gringos really not feeling homesick for Blighty should probably avoid the room that has Big Ben splashed over its walls, and go for something with a more Peruvian flavour instead.

Spa

While there's no spa, the hotel partners with a number of local health facilities and can arrange everything from off-site spa trips and gym appointments, to personal training sessions in the hotel's garden.

Packing Tips

If you’ve got ceviche all down your favourite top, don’t panic: the hotel’s same-day laundry service will have it back to you in no time.

Planes

Lima’s Jorge Chávez Airport is closest: the drive should take just under an hour. Hotel transfers cost US$35 each way.

Automobiles

You’ll be in the heart of the well-heeled Miraflores barrio – the drive to Lima’s Plaza de Armas should take half an hour. There’s no secured parking at the hotel, but a security guard is manning the front 24/7. Hire cars are readily available at the airport; whether you fancy taking on this sprawling city is another issue.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Miraflores is one of Lima’s buzziest barrios, a well-heeled residential district that’s also home to some of the city’s best bars, nightclubs, restaurants and boutiques. Hop on one of the hotel bicycles to explore your new ’hood, line up one of the board games or help yourself to a self-muddled pisco sour at the honesty bar, before heading out into sprawling Lima’s other districts. There’s an archaeological site on your doorstep in Miraflores: the pre-Columbian clay and adobe ceremonial site of Huana Pucllana dates all the way back to 400BC. Tour the city’s finest collection of modern art with a whizz around its Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, aka MAC Lima. Lima is one of South America’s culinary hotspots and it won’t take you long to see why; the hotel has a handy map to guide you to the most esteemed establishments, so grab it and get grazing. If you’ve toured Latin America before, you’ll know no city is complete without a Plaza de Armas, and Lima is no different; check out its version in the centre, half an hour by car from Atemporal.
