Steeped in history and traditional style decor
For panoramic views of the cathedral and El Misti volcano head to the terrace situated on the fourth floor
Meticulously restored and remodelled in 2008 after more than a century of neglect, the Casa Andina Premium Collection Arequipa features high vaulted ceilings, two ample colonial courtyards, and an elegant gourmet restaurant. The lengthy restoration unearthed numerous surprises, including original frescoes, reliefs, and even a chapel long hidden from view. Five large suites have unrivalled Republican-era flavour, yet the historic mansion has also been ingeniously adapted: a unique architectural skylight shields the main courtyard from Arequipa’s intense sun, and 40 rooms are located off a second interior patio.
The hotel has an excellent gourmet restaurant, situated alongside the elegant bar, which opens out onto the central courtyard. For spectacular panoramic views of the cathedral and El Misti volcano head to the terrace situated on the fourth floor.
