Lima: Miraflores Park Hotel (5 Star Hotel)

Assuredly the finest of Lima's luxury hotels, the Miraflores Park Hotel has glorious ocean views and all the frills expected of a five-star establishment. Gracefully situated on a tree-lined avenue along the Pacific Coast, it's a favorite with wedding parties and executives.


Although all the rooms here are classed as suites and do have king-size beds, only the most luxurious have separate bedrooms. The best suites have glass walls with stunning ocean views, while the junior suites have in-room saunas and whirlpool tubs. State-of-the-art amenities include a business center, gym and an outdoor rooftop pool overlooking the ocean. What really puts it over the top, though, is the 'Bath Butler' service, which starts with an in-room massage, then a bath surrounded by scented candles and personally selected oils and soaps, followed by warm towels and a cup of hot chocolate by your bedside, or a snifter of cognac and a cigar. It's pure indulgence. The breakfast buffet in the panoramic 11th-floor Observatory Lounge will start any day off right.
