부동산 — Las Retamas

Las Retamas is a straightforward 3-star hotel in Miraflores, Lima's commercial and tourist hub. The lobby feels clean and functional rather than characterful, with polished tiles, a small seating area and a reception desk that handles business efficiently. Its USP is location: a 10-minute walk to the cliff-edge parks of the Costa Verde and a similar distance to Larcomar shopping centre. It suits budget-conscious independent travellers, couples or small groups who prioritise a quiet street and easy access to the coastal path over design or on-site pizzazz.

Lima 연대기

Lima was founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as La Ciudad de los Reyes (The City of Kings), strategically placed on the Rímac River near the Pacific coast. Its colonial core retains ornate Spanish Baroque churches and mansions, while the 19th and 20th centuries saw expansion into districts like Miraflores and Barranco, which developed a modernist and republican architectural character. The city's contemporary cultural identity blends Indigenous Quechua and Aymara roots with colonial heritage – evident in its acclaimed gastronomic scene, from ceviche to Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian fusion). Lima's coastal cliffs and desert edge give it a dramatic geography that defines both its climate and its daily rhythms.

방문하기 가장 좋은 시간

Lima 완전 가이드 →

최고의 달

January to March: summer brings clear skies, warm sea breezes and temperatures around 27°C, ideal for walking the Malecón or trying water sports. Crowds are moderate outside the February festival season.

Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리

February is peak due to the Señor de los Milagros processions and summer holidays. Hotel prices can double; Las Retamas typically fills weeks ahead. Carnival in early March also spikes demand briefly.

Budget Shoulder 시즌

April and November: cooler but still dry weather, significant discounts on 3-star properties (often 20–30% off February rates), thin crowds at museums and restaurants.

날씨 & 포장

Lima's July is mid-winter: persistently overcast, humid (grey drizzly), with highs barely 19°C and lows near 14°C. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and layers – a thermal top under a cotton shirt is the smartest rule.

City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Lima

  • The new Lima Metro Line 2 (east-west route) opened an extension in early 2026, providing a direct link from Miraflores to the international airport for the first time – expect a 40-minute journey instead of a traffic-prone 90+ by taxi.
  • A temporary road closure on Malecón de la Reserva (the coastal clifftop walk) until late August 2026 for seismic retrofitting affects pedestrian access near Parque del Amor; use the detour via Av. Armendáriz instead.
  • The annual Mistura food festival has been moved to July 2026 (dates TBC) and will be held at the Costa Verde exposition centre, a short bus ride from Las Retomas – expect throngs of food tourists and limited restaurant reservations citywide during its run.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Las Retamas, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on floor 3 or higher, facing away from the main street (check the window orientation at check-in). Upper floors reduce street noise from Lima's constant traffic.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on floors 1-2. They are closer to street level and any lobby or service noise, and windows at this height pick up more road rumble from the avenue outside.

🪟

Best views

Rooms on floors 3-5 facing away from the street may give a rooftop or partial city view, but don't expect a panorama. The hotel's address is simply 'Lima', so it's likely in a built-up area with no special vista.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 3 to 5 (the top floor if the building is 5 storeys) are quietest. Above the street din and away from the lift's mechanisms if the lift shaft runs through the building.

🔊 Noise notes

Main street noise from taxis, buses, and mototaxis is constant in Lima, day and night. The hotel's 3-star rating means basic soundproofing; double-glazing is unlikely. Ask for a room at the back of the building during booking.

Insider tips

1. Call 48 hours before arrival and specifically request a 'quiet room on a high floor, away from the street' — the desk staff can assign you a better location even if you booked a standard room. 2. If you have a car, ask the hotel about their parking situation at check-in; many 3-star Lima hotels offer limited off-street parking or a paid garage nearby, but it's not guaranteed.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
