Excellent boutique hotel. Close to restaurants, bars and shopping areas. Awesome vibe.
Originally built in the style of the Belle Epoque, the mansion that is the B Hotel served as a seaside retreat during the presidency of Augusto Leguia in the 1920's. Its architectural features and flair capture the celebratory spirit of Peru's centennial, which permeated life in the capital city throughout the era of its construction. Famed French architect Claude Sahut, lauded for his work remodeling portions of the Government Palace, along with many of Lima's main avenues, parks, theaters, and other public buildings and spaces, was originally commissioned to design the property as a summer retreat for the Garcia Bedoya family. Construction was completed in 1914 and initially showcased imported Italian marble and exotic woods, along with an ornate façade, stratospherically high ceilings featuring teatinas (a unique style of skylight favored locally), open balconies, and expansive terraces.
A place for contemporary explorers of life seeking the intrigues and mysteries of Peruvian culture, geography and nature, Hotel B caters to traditionalists looking for an authentic historic atmosphere and to shrewd urban explorers willing to immerse themselves in the city's contemporary social and cultural scene.
The hotel's restaurant, bar and lounge have been carefully designed to serve as an introduction to Lima's exciting restaurant scene. With Peruvian cuisine on the rise throughout the world, Hotel B offers the opportunity to savor the old and new in a casual setting that balances traditional service with an adventurous spirit.
