This art-filled boutique hotel in Lima's bohemian Barranco district occupies a restored 1914 mansion. Each room features unique design, contemporary Peruvian art, and luxury amenities. The hotel includes excellent restaurant, bar with craft cocktails, and small pool. It's walking distance to Barranco's galleries, cafes, and nightlife.
Hotel B occupies a restored 1914 Belle Époque mansion on Sáenz Peña street in Barranco, Lima's bohemian coastal district known for its street art, galleries, and clifftop ocean views. The mansion's original architecture, including period ironwork, high ceilings, and a grand staircase, has been preserved alongside a contemporary art collection displayed throughout the public areas and guest corridors, giving the hotel the feel of a private art residence rather than a conventional luxury property.
Each of the hotel's rooms is individually decorated, pairing antique and contemporary furnishings with works by Peruvian artists; room categories range from deluxe rooms to suites with views over the mansion's garden or Barranco's rooftops. A small library and reading lounge add to the residence-like atmosphere.
The hotel's restaurant serves contemporary Peruvian cuisine drawing on coastal and Andean ingredients, complemented by a bar known for craft cocktails using local pisco. A rooftop terrace and small pool give guests a place to relax outdoors, though the pool is modest in scale compared with the hotel's other amenities, in keeping with Hotel B's boutique, art-focused positioning rather than a resort model.
Service is personalised, with a small staff-to-guest ratio supporting concierge assistance for Barranco gallery visits, Lima dining reservations, and airport transfers. Its walking-distance location to Barranco's galleries, cafes, and nightlife, combined with its art collection and intimate scale, makes Hotel B one of Lima's most distinctive luxury boutique hotels.
