Picolo recommends · Hotel in Lima, Peru
Country Club Lima Hotel
Old paintings in the corridors, a golf course next door and a bar where Lima has been meeting for drinks for generations.
Walk through the lobby of the Country Club and you notice the walls first: the hotel holds a large collection of art, hung through its public rooms. The building opened in 1927 and still has the generous proportions of that era.
San Isidro is Lima's leafy business district, calmer than Miraflores and with few tourists. Outside there is a golf course, and inside the gardens wrap around an outdoor pool.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Country Club Lima Hotel
We picked it for travellers who prefer a grand old hotel to a modern one. The rooms are big, the setting is quiet, and the bar is a genuine Lima institution rather than a hotel bar for visitors.
You will not hear the ocean here. The coast and the restaurants of Miraflores are a taxi ride away, so if sea views and walking to dinner matter most, the clifftop option suits you better.
What you get
