Arequipa's best hotel offers attentive service in a beautiful, historic building that formerly housed Peru's Imperial Mint.

The most prestigious hotel in Arequipa offers modern service while preserving the colonial elegance of its former incarnation as the House of the Imperial Mint.

This sophisticated yet friendly Casa Andina hotel sits behind the celebrated Santa Catalina Covent, but inside you’d never know you’re right in the city centre: rooms and suites are protected from traffic noise and the large patio is an oasis of calm.

The striking red and pearl-white outer walls enclose graceful arches and the central courtyard of the original building, adorned with religious art. In the modern extension behind, large rooms and suites combine classic décor of period furnishings with contemporary marble bathrooms.

The smart à la carte restaurant in itself warrants the hotel’s first class status. Casa Andina is a Peruvian-owned company managed by a young, enthusiastic team. At its heart is a genuine desire to create inspiring, good value accommodation as a base for exploring the country.
