La propriété — Best Western Plus
This Best Western Plus is a reliable, business-grade hotel in Miraflores, with a clean, modern lobby that smells faintly of coffee from the breakfast area. You get a decent desk, fast wi-fi, and a quiet room – nothing flashy, but everything works. It suits the traveller who values predictability over character: someone on a stopover or a short work trip who needs a solid base within walking distance of Larcomar and the cliffs. Standing in the lobby, you feel you could be anywhere in the chain’s network, but the helpful front-desk staff confirm you're in Lima by pointing out which cevichería nearby is actually worth the line.
Chroniques de Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the Ciudad de los Reyes, becoming the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru and the richest city in Spanish South America for two centuries. Its colonial core, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, features heavy Baroque churches and carved wooden balconies that survived a series of devastating earthquakes. After independence in 1821, the city expanded slowly until the 20th century, when shantytowns spread across the surrounding desert hills and a wave of modernist architects – including the Peruvian-Brazilian master, Barragán – redefined Miraflores and San Isidro with clean, concrete lines. Today, Lima is a sprawling, chaotic metropolis of over ten million, where ceviche stalls sit next to glassy high-rises and a vibrant food scene has become the city's proudest export. The city’s identity remains a tense contradiction: a colonial capital layered with indigenous roots, a coastal desert that thrives on the fog of winter, and a place where the Pacific surf crashes against cliffs studded with parks and paragliders.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Lima →Meilleurs mois
January to March: these are the warmest, sunniest months (24-28°C), with blue skies and a lively summer atmosphere; crowds are moderate outside Carnival week, making it the sweet spot for beach walks and rooftop dinners.
Peak / Festival surge
July is the absolute peak, driven by school holidays across Peru (summer break) and the Fiestas Patrias (Independence Day on 28-29 July). Hotel prices jump 30-50% in Miraflores; book well ahead. The Mistura food festival (usually in September) also spikes demand but is less extreme.
La saison des épaules
April, May, and November offer good value: the summer heat fades but the garúa (winter fog) hasn't fully settled; fewer tourists mean restaurants are easier to book, and hotel rates drop 20-30% from peak.
Météo & Emballage
Lima's climate quirk: despite being in the tropics, it rarely rains, but from June through September the city is shrouded in a damp, grey fog called garúa that makes it feel like a cool English autumn. Pack a light fleece or zip-up jacket and always bring a scarf – the coastal breeze off the Pacific is persistent and chills you more than the thermometer suggests.
Briefing de la ville — Lima
- The new Jorge Chávez International Airport terminal, originally due to open in early 2025, has been delayed again; all flights still operate from the old terminal, so allow extra time for crowded check-in and security queues.
- Lima's Metropolitano bus system has extended its north-south express service (line B) to reach Miraflores more directly, a cheaper alternative to taxis for getting from the city centre to the hotel area.
- The municipality of Miraflores has been renovating the Malecón (coastal park) pathways – some sections near Parque Salazar may be closed off for repaving until late 2026, so check local signs for alternate routes for running or walking.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Best Western Plus, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

🔊 Noise notes
