Just a few blocks from the centre of Arequipa and its major highlights, this historic hotel, recognised by UNESCO for its cultural significance, offers the perfect base for exploring this city. The hotel was built on the former site of Casa de la Moneda, a national landmark, originally built in 1550 and remodelled in 1794. A restoration in 2007 revealed various historic details, including gold leaf murals, reliefs, frescoes, and even a hidden chapel.
