Miraflores Park, A Belmond Hotel, Lima rises along the manicured Malecón clifftop park in Miraflores, Lima's most fashionable district, eight floors of it facing straight out to the Pacific. This is an all-suite city hotel that counts a row of palm trees as its nearest neighbor, with 89 rooms and suites where the ocean is written into daily life. Step inside and the spaces run from 45 to 130 square meters, dressed in fine cotton linens, marble and granite bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows that pull the sea, the garden, or the city skyline indoors. Some suites hide a Roman tub; the Deluxe Junior Suites tuck a private sauna into their generous bathrooms; and the Presidential Pool Suites come with separate living and dining areas, a private terrace, and a plunge pool set above the Pacific, where a cocktail in hand and the whole coastline below feel like the natural order of things.
Framed by a garden, Tragaluz plates a fusion of Asian, Mediterranean, and Peruvian flavors and doubles as the place to see and be seen in Lima. Come evening, the bartenders at Belo Bar shake a Pisco Sour that rivals any in the city. Mornings belong to The Observatory, an eleventh-floor terrace where fresh-baked bread and eggs any style arrive with a sweep of light running from Lima to the sea. On the same floor, the heated infinity pool is where the day should end, the water turning gold at dusk as surfers bob in silhouette on the swell. Zest Spa works Peruvian organic ingredients into treatments across three rooms, and free bikes, kites, and a children's cinema mean families are welcomed just as warmly. This is a city oasis suspended on a sea cliff, where Lima slows to the length of one Pisco Sour.
