The Property — D'Sheratons
D'Sheratons sits in Miraflores, a block from Parque Kennedy. The lobby is small, clean and modern, with polished tiles and a 24-hour reception. It's a reliable three-star that prioritises location over luxury: think solid breakfast, decent soundproofing and a roof terrace that catches the coastal breeze. Best for independent travellers or couples who want a safe base near restaurants, bars and the malecon, not a resort experience.
Chronicles of Lima
Lima was founded in 1535 by Francisco Pizarro as the City of Kings, becoming the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru and the most important Spanish city in South America. Its colonial core still shows in Plaza Mayor's cathedral and government palace, but the city sprawls over valleys and cliffs above the Pacific. From the 20th century, migration reshaped it into a vast, layered metropolis where pre-Columbian huacas sit beside modern glass towers. Today Lima is defined by its fierce coastal fog, ceviche culture and a creative energy that rivals any capital in the region.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lima guide →Best months
December to March: summer's hot, dry and blue-skied, with the best beach and rooftop weather. Crowds peak around New Year and Easter but the city stays manageable.
Peak / festival surge
January hits the highest tourist demand, driven by summer holidays and the Peru Summer Festival. Hotel prices jump 30-50%, and D'Sheratons often sells out two months ahead. Mistura (September) also spikes rates.
Budget shoulder season
April and November: the sun weakens but the city thins out; prices drop 20%, and you can walk into most restaurants without a booking. The garúa (drizzle) begins in May, so April is the real sweet spot for light crowds and still-warm weather.
Weather & packing
Lima is famously foggy from June through October: the sun often doesn't break through until midday, even on 'clear' days. Pack layers — a hoodie or light jacket for mornings, and always sunglasses because the glare off the grey sea is brutal.
Live City Briefing — Lima
- The Miraflores boardwalk (malecón) cycle lane is fully reopened after 2023 cliff-edge repairs; it's now safer for walkers and rentals.
- New direct flights from London to Lima (British Airways, 2025) have increased UK visitor numbers; expect busier museums and a longer queue at Larco Museum.
- The summer 2026 season brings extended Friday night hours at the Magic Water Circuit in Parque de la Reserva, until 10pm.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to D'Sheratons, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor, facing away from the main avenue. These mid-level floors avoid street-level bustle and the occasional noise from the lobby or breakfast area, while still being high enough to let in some light and breeze.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor, especially those near the lift or staircase. The lift motor can hum through walls, and service staff use these floors for laundry and cleaning carts, causing early-morning clatter.
Best views
Ask for a room on floors 5 or 6 facing the street (Avenida). You'll get a view over the tree-lined avenue and the city skyline, with the Pacific haze on clear days.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 are quietest. The hotel sits on a reasonably busy Lima avenue, so higher floors buffer street noise better, and these mid-floors are removed from lobby and kitchen activity.
🔊 Noise notes
This Lima address is on a main thoroughfare: expect traffic noise during rush hours (7-9am, 5-8pm). Late-night bars and restaurants are within a few blocks, so weekend revellers can be audible from the street side.
Insider tips
1. Check-in early (before 2pm) to have the best chance at a high-floor, rear-facing room — they're first come, first served. 2. If you're driving, the hotel's small car park fills by 4pm; park on the street (metered and safe, but bring small coins) or use the nearby pay-lot on Calle Los Olivos.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Peruvian Sol, PEN
Use ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and in tourist zones—they give poor rates and add fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops and restaurants; Amex less so. Contactless works in most terminals, but cash is still king at small stalls and markets.
Restaurants: 10% is standard for good service, often added to the bill automatically. Taxis: not expected, but rounding up is fine. Hotel staff: 5-10 soles for porters, housekeeping left daily.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Black coffee from a corner bakery or café chino (Chinese-run café) costs about 3-4 soles.
Menu del día (set lunch with soup, main, drink) in a local chifa or cebichería runs 12-18 soles.
A main course at a neighbourhood pollería (grilled chicken place) or simple criollo restaurant costs 15-25 soles.
Miraflores and Barranco have food stalls; try anticuchos (grilled hearts) near Kennedy Park or along the Malecón for quick bites.
Plaza Vea, Metro, and Tottus are the main budget chains across Lima.
Polvos Azules market in La Victoria (15 min by combi from Miraflores) sells cheap clothes; also check Gamarra district for wholesale-priced basics.
The cheapest way around is the Metropolitano bus (1.50 soles per ride, 5 soles for a day pass). From the airport, take the Airport Express bus (8 soles) or a regular bus to Miraflores (2 soles), avoid overpriced taxis.
Eat at cevicherías on Av. La Mar for fresh, affordable lunch. Drink tap water only if boiled/filtered—buy large bottles from markets (2-3 soles). Use local combis or Metropolitano instead of Uber for short hops.
