Hotels in Lima currently start at about € 38 per night for two people, with a typical price of € 68 and € 67 for a comfortable 4-star room. Across the 149 properties we can book here, 85% of rooms can be cancelled free of charge; 91% include or offer breakfast; the average guest rating is 8.8/10.
Almost every visitor to Lima stays in Miraflores or Barranco, on the cliffs above the Pacific, and that is the right instinct: the historic centre is worth a day but not a week. Prices barely move through the year, and an unusually high share of rooms can still be cancelled free — useful when Lima is the hinge in a longer Peru trip.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 149 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.
