CIRQA

Converted from a beautiful 16th Century building, this striking hotel is located just one block away from Arequipa's main square and boasts incredible views overlooking the cathedral and snow-capped volcano Misti. Cirqa is the perfect base from which to explore the city on foot, and is within easy reach of a number of restaurants, fascinating museums and the Santa Catalina monastery which is amongst the city's highlights.

The eleven comfortable rooms are centred around two patios which provide a lovely space in which to unwind, boasting seating, dining space, firepits and even a plunge pool in one. There is also a small spa on site where guests can indulge in a spoiling massage treatment. The rooftop has been converted into an organic garden and restaurant terrace.

The hotel design is true to its historic setting while reflecting modern touches, boasting high-vaulted ceilings, brick archways and beautiful wooden shutters alongside sparkling standalone bathtubs, wireless speakers, smart TVs and complimentary WiFi.
