La Posada del Puente — Hotel in Arequipa

Mu husband and I spent 3 nights here, our first hotel of our Peruvian holiday. The garden in particular and the premises in general are pretty and well looked after. It’s lovely to look over the river and having the vulcano in the background. Upon arrival a complimentary drink to have at the bar is offered. Breakfast was very good too: with the possibility of ordering up to 3 plates (sweet and savoury). The room was spacious, bright and the bed was very comfy! I’d say it’s a bit noisy for me being a lightsleeper as the bridge nearby gets busy with cars and mopeds beeping from early in the morning and the window did not block out the noise much - although it didn’t prevent me from sleeping or wake me up in the middle of the night to be fair.

This boutique hotel is right by a bridge over River Chili leading to old city and within easy walking distance to main sights. It's tucked down on the river bank and doesn't look like a hotel at all.

My wife and I opted for this venue due to its captivating blend of Arequipa's architectural charm. The inclusive breakfast exceeded expectations—kudos to Mr. Victor for impeccable service in the stunningly designed restaurant.

Despite the absence of AC, the overall room ambiance and comfort, coupled with the local weather, made our stay delightful. A solid 5-star choice; if returning to Arequipa, it would be our top pick.
