La propiedad — Livia
The Livia is a tidy, no-fuss three-star in the Miraflores district, a block from the cliffside park and within easy walking distance of the Larcomar shopping centre. Its lobby is small but practical, with polished floors, a small seating area and a reception desk that handles check-in efficiently. The USP here is location and price: it’s a clean, safe base for the budget-conscious traveller who wants to be near the coast and the restaurants of Kennedy Park without paying boutique rates. Suits couples and solo travellers who prioritise convenience over character.
Crónicas de Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the City of Kings, and for three centuries it was the capital of Spanish South America. Its colonial core around the Plaza de Armas still contains the cathedral and the Government Palace, while the 17th-century balconies and churches reflect the city’s historic wealth. After independence, Lima expanded west and south, and in the 20th century it absorbed waves of internal migration that gave it a deeply mestizo, vibrant cultural identity. Today it is a sprawling, chaotic megalopolis of 10 million, known for its fine dining scene, pre-Columbian museums and a foggy winter climate that colours daily life.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Lima →Los mejores meses
December to March: summer in Lima brings clear skies, sunshine and temperatures in the mid-20s C, ideal for coastal walks and rooftop drinks. Crowds at museums are manageable outside the Christmas and New Year period.
Peak / Festival Surge
January is the peak month, driven by summer holidays and the Mistura food fair (usually August-September, but summer attracts domestic tourists). Hotel prices in Miraflores typically rise 20–30%. The Fiestas Patrias on 28–29 July also boost demand, with parades and events across the city.
La temporada del hombro
April and November offer milder weather, notably fewer tourists and discounts of 15–25% off peak rates. April still has decent sunshine; November is cool but dry, good for cultural visits without the coastal summer mist.
Tiempo y embalaje
Lima in July is winter: overcast, humid and around 15–18°C, with a light drizzle called garúa in the mornings. Pack layers — a waterproof jacket, long sleeves and a warm jumper — because the damp cold can be unpleasantly raw, and the sea breeze adds to the chill.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Lima
- The new Line 2 of the Lima Metro is partially open, connecting eastern districts to the centre; check if the Atlantic Avenue station serves your route.
- The municipality of Miraflores has pedestrianised more streets around Kennedy Park over the past year, reducing traffic noise near the Livia.
- El Niño is forecast to be weak-to-moderate in 2026, so July’s water temperatures may be slightly warmer but the overcast pattern is unlikely to break — pack accordingly.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Livia, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors, 4th or 5th, facing the inner courtyard—quieter and away from street-level noise, given the 3-star standard and Lima's busy streets.
Rooms to avoid
Ground floor rooms, especially those near the lobby or street side—liable to traffic rumble and reception bustle. Avoid rooms directly above the lift shaft for clanking noises.
Best views
Ask for a room overlooking the inner courtyard (if the hotel has one) for a tranquil outlook of plants or a small garden. No view is likely from a 3-star in central Lima, but avoid the front-facing rooms that look onto a cluttered street.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5. The hotel likely has 5 floors with a small lift; top floors minimise street sound and foot traffic overhead, and the courtyard side buffers against Avenida noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Lima's streets (especially Avenidas) have constant traffic—buses, taxis, and mototaxis honking. The hotel's central location means noise from late-night revelry and early rubbish collection. If the hotel has a bar or restaurant, ground-floor sound can drift up. Single-glazed windows let in most street noise.
Insider tips
Request a room facing the inner courtyard at booking—this reduces street noise significantly. If the hotel offers it, ask for a room on the 5th floor, as the lift often stops at lower floors first, and the top floor gets less footfall. Check in after 8 PM for a quieter, less chaotic arrival.
- 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
