Gran Hotel Bolivar Lima

We did not stay here but had a refreshing Pisco Sour on a hot afternoon in the bar area. Beautiful historic hotel with wonderful antiques and stained glass. Wish they kept up the interior better, vacuumed the rug in the entryway, dusted, etc.

If you are looking for a great pisco sour or delicious local food then the bar is worth exploring. Not cheap, but a great location and service. This could be the Raffles of Lima with some thoughts.

This hotel is historic, magnificent and very luxurious and was NOT haunted by ghost like the myth says. Clean and quit once inside from the hustle and bustle of main square. Loved it here, was in the middle of downtown Lima and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

We stayed here for two nights while we were in Lima and really enjoyed it. The rooms are large, although the traffic can be noisy it quietens down overnight. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was nice. Beautiful old building.

The most famous pisco sour is served here. , so of course I needed to try. It was a very good pisco. Strong but perfect. In the evening we came back to eat at the restaurant.

A beautiful grand old building with lots of 1920s charm. The foyer and entrance are gorgeous with stained glass and high ceilings. Beautiful local paintings on the walls, flowers, and it smelled great. We enjoyed the breakfast and the cheerful service. The location is great- easy access to the squares, plaza mayor, walking paths, museums, water fountain park, trendy restaurants and bars, and the two main touristy churches. It's worth noting a couple things that if we could have prepared for would have made the stay perfect. This is an older property and the rooms are a little faded from their heyday, and sparse. Outlets are few and far between. Mostly though, it has no air conditioning, and our room at least did not have a ceiling fan. Air conditioning does not seem to be common in Peru but a fan would have made all the difference. We went in summer (Feb) and it was in the high 80s/low 90s and very humid in Lima. We asked for a fan and if the front desk hadn't given us what seemed like was their own fan the room might have been unbearably hot. We saw all kinds of very cheap fans for sale in Lima so plan to buy one if you can't get them to loan you one. Also, it's close to the square and it is loud at night. Week nights it's loud until around midnight and the Friday we stayed the noise lasted until 3:30 am. Bring earplugs especially if you are from the suburbs. For the price and location this is a great option. Just be aware of the quirks. We would stay here again
