Belle Époque art citadel
Antique candelabras cast a warm glow across intimate salons, where slouchy sofas invite lingering among original contemporary paintings and sunlit corners.

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in The 50 Discovery and Wallpaper*.
Hotel B is firmly in the latter category. Occupying a prominent corner near the sea… the stately white mansion is a jaw-dropping symbol of the Belle Époque.

At the table
Chef Franco Hurtado cooks coastal Peruvian dishes in the dining room, and the library hosts traditional El Lonche afternoon tea.
Hotel B, in the city's Barranco district, looks a little like a smartly iced wedding cake, all shell-white pillars and pristine plasterwork.
How it began
Built in 1914 as a seaside summer retreat, the Belle Époque villa was restored alongside sculptors from Lima's Fine Arts Academy.
