The Property — Hollywood Suite's
Hollywood Suite's is a straightforward three-star hotel near the intersection of Avenida La Marina and Avenida Salaverry in Jesús María. Its lobby feels like a modest airport lounge: practical furniture, a reception desk on the right, and a small bar on the left. The USP is location – it's a short taxi ride from the historic centre and Miraflores, but far enough to be quiet at night. This hotel suits budget-conscious travellers who need a clean, no-frills base for exploring Lima, not those seeking character or public spaces.
Chronicles of Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the 'City of Kings', chosen for its coastal plain and proximity to the Rímac River. The colonial core, with its grand Plaza Mayor and cathedral, was built atop a pre-Hispanic settlement, and the city remained the seat of Spanish power in South America for three centuries. Independence in 1821 didn't immediately transform the city, but the 20th century brought rapid expansion: wide avenues, neoclassical mansions, then the chaotic growth of pueblos jóvenes on the hills. Today Lima is a sprawling metropolis of ten million people, where colonial balconies sit alongside Brutalist concrete towers, and the city's cultural identity is defined by world-class ceviche, vibrant street art, and a pervasive grey fog from June to October.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lima guide →Best months
January–March: summer, clear skies, warm sea. Best for beaches in Miraflores and Barranco, and for avoiding Lima's winter gloom. Crowds are moderate; hotel prices are reasonable outside peak weeks.
Peak / festival surge
January and July are the busiest: January for the summer holiday season (Peruvians travel), July for Fiestas Patrias (28–29 July, independence celebrations with parades and events). Hotel prices in those periods can double; book far ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April, May, November: after the summer and before the winter fog. Prices drop 20–30%, weather is mild (18–22°C), and fewer tourists. November also has the Mistura food festival if you time it right.
Weather & packing
Lima's winter (June–September) is overcast and damp but rarely rains; summer (December–March) is sunny but humid. Packing rule: always bring a light fleece or hoodie even in summer – the fog can roll in by late afternoon.
Live City Briefing — Lima
- The Lima Metro Line 2 (connecting Ate to Callao) is still under construction – avoid expecting metro service south to Miraflores. Use the Metropolitano bus rapid transit for cross-city travel: buy a rechargeable card at any station.
- Barranco's main square, the Plaza de Armas, is being pedestrianised and renovated through late 2026, so expect some construction noise and detours in that neighbourhood.
- Peru's inflation has pushed restaurant prices up roughly 15% year-on-year – budget accordingly for ceviche and pisco sours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hollywood Suite's, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floor 3 to 5 facing away from Avenida de Tomás Marsano, towards the quieter inner courtyard. These mid-floors avoid street noise and are high enough to reduce lift traffic without being dependent on the lift's reliability, which can be spotty in older 3-star buildings.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, especially those facing the street; they pick up exhaust fumes and traffic from Avenida de Tomás Marsano, which is a busy six-lane artery. Also avoid rooms directly opposite the lift shaft — the mechanical noise can be constant, especially during peak check-in/out times (11am–2pm, 5pm–8pm).
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors (4–5) facing east (away from the avenue) give a view over the rooftops of the Magdalena del Mar neighbourhood — less dramatic but calmer. South-facing rooms look onto the hillier parts of the avenue, with a partial view of the Costa Verde green space in the distance, but that side is noisier.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5. The lift typically stops less frequently there, and street noise fades above the second floor. These are also high enough to avoid the lobby's lobby/bar noise from the ground floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida de Tomás Marsano carries heavy bus and car traffic from about 6am to 11pm, with occasional honking. On weekends, nightlife noise from nearby bars in the Miraflores border area can drift up. The hotel's own lift may clatter on any floor, but it's worst on 1 and 2.
Insider tips
Parking is usually available at the hotel's own small car park — reserve a spot in advance as street parking is scarce and unsafe at night. Request a room with a mini-fridge if you plan to store snacks; the hotel's restaurant closes early, and nearby eateries thin out after 10pm.
- 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
