The approach to Hotel B reveals itself slowly. A meticulously restored Belle Époque mansion rises along a quiet stretch of Lima's Barranco district, its early twentieth-century facade giving way to interiors that feel decidedly contemporary. Originally built in 1914, the building carries the architectural grammar of another era, with ornamental ironwork and generous proportions, while its transformation into a seventeen-room boutique hotel has introduced a design language rooted in modern art and restrained sophistication. The lobby doubles as a living gallery, its walls lined with works from a carefully assembled collection that threads through the property's public spaces and corridors.
Upstairs, rooms are individually appointed and designed with a gallery-like sensibility. Clean lines, polished concrete, and curated artwork define each space, while large windows frame views of Barranco's rooftops or the Pacific Ocean beyond. The scale is deliberately intimate. With only seventeen rooms across categories ranging from superior to suite, the property feels closer to a private residence than a conventional hotel. Bathrooms are finished in natural stone, and furnishings lean toward mid-century silhouettes softened by warm textiles and muted palettes.
Dining at Hotel B centers on its rooftop restaurant, where the kitchen draws from Peru's extraordinary culinary traditions while maintaining a sophisticated, ingredient-driven approach. The setting is striking, with open-air seating that looks out across the district and toward the coastline. It is a space that shifts naturally from leisurely lunch to candlelit dinner, shaped as much by the light and ocean air as by the menu. A ground-floor bar offers cocktails built around Peruvian pisco and local botanicals, providing a more casual gathering point for guests and visitors alike.
Barranco itself is essential to understanding the property. Lima's most artistic and bohemian neighborhood unfolds just beyond the front door, a walkable landscape of colorful colonial houses, independent galleries, street murals, and small cafes that has long attracted writers, musicians, and painters. The iconic Bridge of Sighs sits moments away, and the Malecón walkway traces the cliff's edge above the Pacific, connecting Barranco to the neighboring district of Miraflores. The ocean is a constant presence here, visible from elevated vantage points throughout the neighborhood and audible in the quieter hours.
Hotel B occupies a particular frequency in Lima's hospitality landscape. It is a place where the creative energy of its surroundings is matched by the precision of its interiors, where a century-old building has been given a second life without erasing the character that made it worth preserving. The rhythm is unhurried, shaped by long meals on the rooftop, afternoon light filtering through tall windows, and the easy proximity of a neighborhood that rewards those who wander on foot.

What we love about this stay
It's the art that catches you off guard here — not hung as decoration but woven into the life of this restored 1914 Belle Époque mansion, stopping you mid-step in a corridor or holding you too long in a courtyard. Hotel B sits in Barranco, Lima's most creatively restless neighborhood, and it doesn't just reference that energy — it houses one of the country's most significant collections of contemporary Peruvian art within its original arched doorways and century-worn moldings. The rooms feel considered rather than styled, intimate without performing intimacy, and the staff carry a quiet attentiveness that makes the whole place feel less like a hotel and more like someone's deeply personal home that happens to welcome you in. This is a property for travelers who want to feel something shift — who understand that the best stays don't just rest you, they recalibrate your attention.

Everything we heard or read, said Lima was not a good place to be - but - it is very entertaining, clean, friendly - plenty do to!!! We stayed at the Mariels Hotel in Mira Flores district - very safe, clean, so many markets, close to ocean (where shopping mall is located, along with many restaurants). We were expecting the worse, and were pleasantly surprised!!! GoLima!!!

An amazing experience The breakfast and evening tea were fantastic. The hotel feels like a modern art museum, with many art pieces throughout a beautifully decorated house. An amazing experience

Peruvians reminded me of - now don't laugh - the Japanese. So soft spoken that you would never overhear the conversation from the adjacent tables in a restaurant, so courteous that the average local with no knowledge of English would patiently struggle to give you the directions instead of the usual brush-off "No entiendo," so polite even with each other that if three taxi drivers approach you for your business and you choose to make eye-contact with only one, the other two will give the chosen guy the stage, that Peru did remind me of my trip to Japan. There are other aspects of Lima that defies the normal expectations of a relatively poor country. While the city is neither glitteringly modern nor charmingly colonial, with most of the historical buildings concentrated in one small area, the city is quite clean regardless of wherever you ago. Miraflores of course is the best, but we walked many other parts of the city including the low-income neighborhoods near downtown and Barrio Chino (Chinatown) and found the streets far cleaner than in other countries of the same economic category. Add to the mix the wonderful Peruvians, their excellent and complex cuisine, some historical sites and modest prices, perfect weather in April, and a few days in Lima can be as rewarding as a few days in any fine city around the world. So please don't use Lima only as a jumping-off point for Machu Pichu, which seems to be the case with most tourists. You will miss out on a great travel experience. We spent six days in Lima with one full day out for a long trip to Ica in the south, the wine producing area surrounded by the desert. The only way to go is on Cruz del Sur, the most luxurious bus I have ever rode on in my life. We did not take time out for Cuzco and Machu Pichu and as such, felt like someone who went to India but did not see Taj Mahal. But what better excuse to go back to Lima?

Wow, there are not enough words to describe how much we loved staying at Hotel B! We came to Barranco following our 4 day/3 night Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu and were fully pampered; we barely left the hotel for the entire three days we were there! From the exquisite French vibes and endearing art decor lining the halls, to the incredible food and wine in all four dining areas, to the incredible massages we received in our room, and the unexpected room upgrade at check-in, every single moment spent at Hotel B was a pleasure. My friend and I most enjoyed perusing around town on the bicycles provided by the hotel staff, the adorable tea time and snacks in the hotel's library, and the outstanding brunch offered until 1pm daily. We will definitely be back to Lima soon, if not for any other reason than the opportunity to stay at Hotel B once again.
