Fodor's Expert Review Casa Arequipa
Av. Lima 409, Vallecito, Tacna, Peru Fodor's Choice
The individually designed rooms at this neoclassical boutique hotel are all decked out in luxuriously high-quality motifs and bedding—every last detail has been considered, and it's all so personalized that a stay here is almost like a stay with your best friends. Filled with antique furnishings typical of the region, the hand-carved beds feature 400-thread-count sheets, and each room comes with heating to counter the cool Andean air. The extra charm comes from the hospitable staff, who'll retrieve your luggage from the airport if it's delayed, iron your clothes, and even throw you a birthday party. A lavish breakfast buffet includes an assortment of coffee, tea, breads, fruits, and eggs, served on a rooftop nook with views of El Misti.
