Das Eigentum — Elixer Hotel
The Elixer Hotel is a practical 3-star base in Miraflores, a short walk from the cliff-top parks and the Larcomar mall. The lobby feels like a clean, modern budget chain — tiled floor, a small sofa area, and a front desk that moves quickly. The USP is location and reliability: you get a solid bed, decent WiFi, and a good-value breakfast, but no character or frills. It suits travellers who plan to be out all day and want a safe, central spot to sleep.
Chroniken von Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the Ciudad de los Reyes, serving as the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru for nearly 300 years. The historic centre still shows its colonial bones with carved wooden balconies and plazas, while the 20th century brought sprawling suburbs and a stark contrast between wealthy districts like Miraflores and hillside shantytowns. After decades of unrest, modern Lima has reinvented itself as a culinary capital, blending pre-Columbian, Spanish, African and Asian influences. The city’s cultural identity is pragmatic and resilient, proud of its ceviche, its coastline, and its refusal to be defined solely by machu Picchu.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Lima-Guide →Die besten Monate
December to March: summer brings clear skies, warm days (mid-20s °C) and fewer crowds than the peak tourist months further south. The coast is alive with open-air restaurants and evening walks.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak season nationally (Peru’s winter school holidays), plus the Fiestas Patrias on 28-29 July bring parades and events. Hotel prices in Miraflores can jump 20-40% above shoulder rates. Book well in advance.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October offer milder weather (around 20°C, some drizzle), thinner crowds, and lower room rates. You get the benefit of decent visibility for city views without the summer crush.
Wetter & Verpackung
Lima’s climate is famously damp: winter (June-October) is grey, cool and drizzly — never a downpour but constant fine mist called garúa. Pack a light waterproof jacket, a long-sleeved layer, and comfortable shoes for damp pavements.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Lima
- The Larcomar renovation has added new restaurants and a food market on the lower level, making it a more practical dinner option than the usual tourist traps on Av. Larco.
- The Lima Metro Line 2 (east-west) is partially open but not yet reaching Miraflores; stick to taxis or the Metropolitano bus service for trips to Barranco or the historic centre.
- New direct flights from London to Lima (via LATAM, from December 2025) have increased competition; check for package deals bundling flights and hotel stays.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Elixer Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5 facing the interior courtyard (if available) or away from the main street. Upper floors above the 2nd floor are quieter due to distance from street-level noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 or 2, especially those facing the street (likely Avenida or a main road in Lima centre). Also skip rooms near the lift or service stairwell on any floor.
Best views
Likely a view of the surrounding Lima streetscape – ask for a high floor facing the quieter side (e.g., away from main arteries like Avenida Javier Prado or Avenida Larco if near them). No landmark view guaranteed at this star level.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are typically quietest in a 3-star Lima hotel with a lift – enough height to reduce street din, not so high that lift traffic is loud.
🔊 Noise notes
Lima’s street noise (buses, taxis, mototaxis, horns) is persistent, especially on principal roads. The hotel’s address is simply 'Lima' – assume a central or mid-range district. Request a room not on the street side.
Insider tips
1. Check in after 3pm to request a quiet room – staff are more flexible then. 2. If you’re driving, ask about nearby off-street parking; many 3-star hotels in Lima use secure parking lots a block away.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Peruvian Sol, PEN
Use ATMs inside major banks (BCP, Interbank, BBVA) for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and in tourist-heavy Miraflores.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; contactless is common, but American Express and Diners are less reliable.
Restaurants: 10% is standard for good service, but check for a service charge (servicio incluido) first. Taxis: round up or tip S/2–S/5. Hotel staff: S/5–S/10 for porters, housekeeping optional.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →Filter coffee or espresso at a local bakery (panadería) costs S/3–S/5.
A menú (set lunch) at a small restaurant includes soup, main dish, and drink for S/10–S/15.
A main course like lomo saltado or aji de gallina at a modest restaurant costs S/15–S/25.
Anticuchos (grilled beef heart) and salchipapas (sausage and fries) at food stalls in parks or near market areas (e.g., around Mercado Central) are cheap eats.
Plaza Vea, Metro, and Tottus are the common supermarket chains in Lima.
Gamarra district is the wholesale hub for cheap clothing; for ready-to-wear, markets like Mercado Central or Polvos Azules have affordable options.
The cheapest way around is a combo of the Metropolitano bus (S/4.50 per ride) and the Lima Metro (S/1.50 per ride). From the airport, take the regular Airport Express bus (S/8) or a colectivo (shared taxi) to central Lima for about S/15.
Eat at menú del día places for lunch instead of tourist restaurants. Use the Metropolitano bus system rather than taxis for longer trips. Buy fresh fruit and snacks from local markets rather than convenience stores.
