Restored to its
original grandeur, this storied sillar (white volcanic stone)
colonial mansion is one of the finest hotels in Arequipa’s historic
center – and is as much living museum as it is hotel. Inhabiting the
1794 former Casa de la Moneda (Mint House)—a National Historic
Monument—it is Arequipa’s finest hotel and one of the most sumptuous
hotels to stay in all of Peru.
LOCATION:
On a quiet street
in the heart of Arequipa’s historic district, the hotel is just
steps from the entrance of the famed Santa Catalina Convent and only
3 blocks from the Plaza de Armas. In the midst of Arequipa’s top
restaurants, sights and shopping, the hotel is only15 minutes by
taxi from Arequipa’s Rodríguez Ballón airport and 10 minutes from
the bus station.
