Nestled on a quiet street just a block from Lima’s coast in the bohemian district of Barranco, Hotel?B occupies a restored Belle-Époque mansion dating back to 1914 — once a summer retreat for a Lima aristocratic family. From its striking white façade and high-ceilinged interiors to its oak beams and vintage balconies, it evokes a refined bygone era, reinterpreted through a modern, artistic lens.
Inside, the hotel pulses with creativity. Over 300 original works by contemporary Peruvian and Latin American artists adorn the halls, lounges and suites — creating the feel of a private art gallery rather than a typical city hotel. Guests are welcome to explore this dynamic collection, including curated art-tours led by the hotel’s own curator, and even purchase pieces from the boutique art-store.
The rooms (fewer than 20) are individually styled, blending old-world charm — marble bathrooms, rain showers, and Pima-cotton linens — with contemporary comfort and thoughtful design. Some feature private terraces or views over Barranco’s leafy streets or the serene inner patio.
At every turn, Hotel?B reflects Lima’s evolving cultural soul. Dine on sophisticated Peruvian-Mediterranean cuisine in vaulted halls or the quiet patio; sip cocktails beside locals at the atmospheric 1920s-inspired bar; or retreat to the rooftop lounge for sunset drinks with a view of the Pacific.
