New Peru Hotels

Luxury hotels are being constructed in Peru like never before. Here's what is in store for 2008:

  • Casa Andina is also rapidly expanding their Private Collection hotels, which are quite stunning, around Peru and new locations in Lima and Arequipa are set to open in January.
  • In March, Inkaterra is also opening a hotel in a restored colonial mansion in Barranco (district of Lima south of Miraflores) with lots of Old World charm that in my opinion will be likely be the most stylish hotel ever built in Lima. Inkaterra will also open a Puno location in November and a Cusco location in December that you could easily add to the list.
  • Orient Express is also set to open a lodge in Colca Canyon early next year.
  • Midrange company EcoInn is opening hotels in Cusco, Lima, Colca Canyon, Puna, and the Sacred Valley
  • Affiliates of Marriot and Hilton chains are set to open hotels in Cusco.
  • Vague plans are underway to begin building hotels directly on Lima's Costa Verde (before only hotels were built on cliffs above the beach).

Outside of hotels, expect even more interest in the culinary scene with new food tours and restaurants, more diverse Inka Trail treks utilizing luxury lodges on other routes; the reconstruction of Pisco, Ica, and Chincha, and much, much more.
