The Property — Hotel Casa Andina
Hotel Casa Andina Select in Lima’s Miraflores district offers a polished, mid-range base with a colonial-inspired courtyard and polished wooden floors. The lobby feels calm and cool, blending modern comfort with traditional textiles and ceramics. It suits practical travellers who want reliable service, a good breakfast, and easy walking access to the coast and Larcomar shopping centre. This is not a boutique hideaway but a solid, professional option for a short city stay.
Chronicles of Lima
Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1535 as the City of Kings, becoming the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Its historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, displays a mix of baroque churches, colonial balconies and republican-era mansions, though many buildings require restoration. The city expanded dramatically in the 20th century, absorbing migration from the Andes and creating a sprawling, modern metropolis. Contemporary Lima is defined by its vibrant food scene, coastal cliffs called ‘barrancos’, and a cultural identity that blends indigenous, African and European influences.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lima guide →Best months
December to March: summer in the southern hemisphere offers warm, sunny days (25-30°C), clear skies and manageable crowds outside national holidays. September to November: spring brings mild temperatures (18-22°C), blue skies and fewer tourists.
Peak / festival surge
January and February are the warmest months and also the main holiday period for locals, with prices at Casa Andina typically rising 20-30%. The Lima Festival in January and the Señor de los Milagros processions in October also draw large crowds.
Budget shoulder season
April and May: autumn brings cooler, pleasant weather, fewer visitors, and hotel discounts of around 15-25%. November is another quiet month before the summer rush.
Weather & packing
Lima’s coastal desert climate means almost no rain, but from May to October thick fog (garúa) keeps the city overcast and damp. Pack layers: a light jacket for the garúa season and sunscreen for the summer sun, and always bring a scarf for the evening sea breeze.
Live City Briefing — Lima
- The new Lima Metro Line 2 is partially open, connecting some eastern districts to central Miraflores and reducing taxi dependency for airport transfers.
- Larcomar shopping centre has completed its renovation, adding new restaurants and a food hall with ocean views – a practical stop near the hotel.
- Peru’s political situation remains stable for visitors, but the central plaza area occasionally has small protests; avoid large gatherings after dark.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Casa Andina, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Rooms on floors 5 through 7, at the rear of the building facing the inner courtyard, away from Avenida Alfredo Benavides. These are high enough to avoid street-level noise but not so high that you get mechanical sounds from the roof.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on floors 1 and 2, especially those facing the street. Ground- and first-floor rooms get the full blast of traffic noise from Avenida Alfredo Benavides, plus any lobby or reception activity.
Best views
A side view over the neighbouring low-rise buildings towards the coast, if available — the hotel is a block inland from the Malecón, so you might catch a sliver of ocean from upper floors facing west. Avoid front-facing rooms: the view is just a busy avenue and the building opposite.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 through 7, provided they are not directly over the main entrance or service areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Alfredo Benavides is a main thoroughfare in Miraflores, with constant traffic from buses, taxis and mototaxis, especially from 7am to 10pm. The hotel’s own lift motor can hum on the top floor, and there is occasional noise from the service entrance at the side or rear.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, ask about the hotel’s parking arrangement — it may have a small private lot or an agreement with a nearby garage, as street parking is scarce and metered. 2. Request a room on a high floor (5–7) and specify ‘courtyard-facing’ when booking; this is the quietest option and avoids the worst of the avenue noise.
- 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
