Overview
Lima is one of South America’s most rewarding luxury destinations, and one of its most underrated. The city is Latin America’s gastronomic capital, home to Michelin-recognized restaurants, private chef experiences, and exclusive pisco tastings. Beyond leisure, Lima serves as a regional hub for mining, energy, agribusiness, and finance, making it equally compelling for global executives and family offices.
For private aviation travelers who have explored our guides to luxury hotels in Panama City or top new hotels across the Caribbean, Mexico, and Latin America, Lima belongs on your radar. Easy access to the Andes, Amazon gateways, and Machu Picchu makes it an ideal high-end base for blending business, exploration, and refined indulgence. Lima’s best luxury hotels and top suites are the subject of this week’s newsletter.
1. Miraflores Park, A Belmond Hotel
Forbes Travel Guide writes, “Miraflores Park, A Belmond Hotel, Lima stands tall and proud along the beautifully manicured Malecón clifftop park with impressive views along the coast and out at the Pacific Ocean. With this prime location in Lima’s upscale Miraflores neighborhood, it’s one of the city’s most luxurious hotels. The trendy clifftop shopping center Larcomar is just a few minutes’ walk away, as are some of the best restaurants in Lima, including the lauded Central. With classic refined décor, the elegant all-suite hotel features 89 rooms spread across eight floors, attentive service and a club class executive lounge. The amenities include conference and event facilities, a stunning rooftop pool, gym and spa. To tantalize your taste buds, the onsite Tragaluz Restaurant serves an exciting fusion of Asian and Peruvian flavors and the inviting Belo Bar crafts a pisco sour that rivals all others in the city.”
The Telegraph says, “There are 89 rooms, with either ocean or city views – the latter are a little bit less expensive. Décor is functional in the junior suites, palatial in the deluxe rooms. Throughout, bathrooms are marble and very spacious, with bathtubs and walk-in showers; one suite has its own sauna. The presidential suites have their own plunge pool and private terrace.”
Limena and Lienzo Suites
The two Presidential Suites are both 1,615-sq.ft., and each one-bedroom suite is located on the 10th floor with city and ocean views. They each have a terrace with plunge pool.

2. Souma Lima
Conde Nast Traveler writes, “Souma is a shiny high-rise that hits the sweet spot: offering the comfort and amenities of a big-brand hotel while still providing the service and design of a boutique property. There’s always a bit of a scene in the lobby, with both locals and visitors floating in and out. This is partially because of the rooftop bar, 27 Tapas, which is a well-loved happy hour spot among Limeños, who come straight from the office in their business-casual suits and heels, and depending on the season, might stay a bit later than they planned on a weeknight. Take advantage of being a guest by enjoying the bar during sunset. In the rooms, the aesthetic centers around crisp white linens, floor-to-ceiling windows, and light tones, leaving space for the real star: the ocean views.”
