This hotel is filled with character; the good kind. Original "silla" building is gorgeous, with boveda ceilings and chandeliers, a lovely dining room and a library of Music, which you can listen to. The courtyard leads to the newer building with the rooms, which are gracious and comfy. Only thing, it seems no hotel provides hot water in the sinks, only for bathing. It's sited just a few blocks away from the action..... which is perfect. And, the concierge service could not be more helpful, they really help you...to make sure that your stay in Arequipa and all the fantastic areas to visit nearby are memorable.
