This boutique hotel feel creates a sense of exclusivity and warmth, making it a home away-from home for travelers seeking a unique and memorable experience. Adding to its allure, the hotel has its own unique fragrance of Fig, White Tea and Jasmine, inspired by a fig tree found in the entryway before the house was restored. With a total of 20 rooms, Hotel B offers a tranquil retreat amid the bustling energy of Barranco, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the rich history and vibrant culture of Lima.

Situated just a stone's throw away from the beach, Hotel B offers guests the opportunity to enjoy Lima's stunning coastline with ease. Whether it's a leisurely stroll along the sandy shores, a refreshing dip in the ocean or simply basking in the sun while taking in the breathtaking views, the beach proximity adds an extra layer of relaxation and enjoyment to the hotel experience. After a day of beachside bliss, guests can return to the hotel to unwind in the comfort of their luxurious accommodations, complete with thoughtful amenities and impeccable service.
Art aficionados will find Hotel B to be a true gem, with its impressive collection of local and international artwork displayed throughout the property. From striking paintings to intricate sculptures, the hotel doubles as an art gallery, providing guests with an immersive cultural experience. Many pieces tell a story of Peru's rich history and vibrant culture, inviting guests to explore and appreciate the country's artistic heritage without ever leaving the confines of the hotel.
Lastly, Hotel B's location in the Barranco neighborhood adds another layer of allure to its appeal. Known for its bohemian charm, colorful streets and thriving arts scene, Barranco is a destination in itself, offering endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.
