Country Club Lima Hotel

A Heritage Address in San Isidro

San Isidro is Lima's financial and diplomatic quarter, and the concentration of luxury hotels along its tree-lined streets reflects that status. Within that cohort, properties divide broadly between international chain formats and older, independently positioned addresses with institutional histories. Country Club Lima Hotel, built in 1927 and designated a National Monument, occupies the latter category. Its tenure predates most of its competitors on the block, and that longevity has produced a physical environment that no amount of recent construction can replicate: hand-painted Spanish tiles in the lobby, brass chandeliers overhead, and marble floors that have been walked by generations of Lima's business and diplomatic class. Compared with addresses like the JW Marriott Hotel Lima or the Nhow Lima, this property competes on heritage depth rather than contemporary design language.

What the Redesign Did — and Didn't — Change

Heritage hotels face a recurring tension between conservation and relevance. The 2017 redesign, supervised by Argentine architect Francisco López Bustos, who specialises in the recovery of historic and cultural buildings, threaded that needle with reasonable discipline. Public spaces retained their colonial furniture, gilded mirrors, and oil paintings on loan from the Pedro de Osma Museum , a collection that now spans more than 400 original works distributed across corridors, lobbies, and guest rooms. The spherical gallery just off the main lobby, with its original stained-glass ceiling assembled from more than 2,000 individual pieces, was left structurally intact. What changed was largely in the rooms: contemporary finishes, warm tones, and modern audio-visual fittings were layered over the dark wooden furniture without erasing the classical register. Each of the 83 rooms retains at least one piece from the Pedro de Osma collection, which keeps the art programme from feeling like a lobby-only gesture.

Service as the Binding Element

Among Lima's heritage-adjacent properties, the guest experience at Country Club Lima Hotel is framed around anticipatory, detail-oriented service rather than programmatic novelty. The Leading Hotels of the World membership , confirmed for 2025 , sets a baseline expectation for staff culture and personalisation that the property works to meet across its formats. Afternoon tea in the Los Vitrales lobby bar, with a grand piano providing ambient structure, is the clearest expression of this orientation: it is a deliberately slow, attended ritual in a city that otherwise moves quickly. The Bar Inglés operates in a similar register , low lighting, measured pacing, and what the hotel positions as one of Lima's more carefully assembled pisco sour programmes. For guests whose itinerary is built around meetings or golf rather than nightlife, the rhythm of the property serves that purpose well. The hotel's exclusive arrangement with the adjacent Lima Golf Club , an 18-hole, par-72 course and one of the largest green spaces in the city , extends the service logic beyond the building itself, giving guests access to a members-only facility at a green fee rather than full membership cost.

The Dining Proposition at Perroquet

Peru's dining reputation has been built largely on the generation of chefs who have put Lima on the international culinary map since the early 2000s. Within that context, hotel restaurants occupy a specific and sometimes underestimated role: they absorb the logistical constraints of international guests while still needing to deliver cooking that reflects local culinary seriousness. Perroquet, the hotel's flagship restaurant, works with a menu that combines Peruvian foundations with international formats, and its terrace is among the more recognisable in San Isidro. The hotel also offers pisco sour and ceviche classes as standalone programming , practical for guests who want structured engagement with Peru's food culture beyond simply eating in.

Room Configuration and the Presidential Suite

The 83 rooms and suites span from the 430-square-foot Master Guest Room to the Golf View Presidential Suite at the upper end. The Presidential Suite includes golf club views, a large terrace, an expansive living room, a dining room, two marble en-suite bathrooms with Jacuzzis, butler service, airport transfers, in-room check-in and checkout, caviar upon arrival, access to a private wine cellar, and a nightly bottle of champagne. That configuration places it within the standard repertoire of senior-suite programming at this tier, comparable in format to what properties like Miraflores Park, A Belmond Hotel, Lima offer at their upper room categories. The dog-friendly room option is a practical addition that few competitors in the San Isidro segment advertise explicitly.

How It Fits Into Lima's Broader Hotel Landscape

Lima's luxury accommodation market has diversified considerably over the past decade. Design-led boutique entrants such as Hotel B and Atemporal have drawn guests who prioritise contemporary curatorial sensibility, while international chains hold ground on consistency and loyalty programmes. Country Club Lima Hotel sits in a third category: the grand historic address, where the architecture and the art collection do work that neither design-forward boutiques nor brand-affiliated towers can replicate. Its La Liste 2026 score of 91 points places it in recognisable company globally, and the National Monument designation means the physical fabric of the building is protected in ways that give the property a structural durability most competitors lack. For guests planning wider Peru travel, the property works as a Lima anchor alongside excursions to destinations served by properties such as Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco, Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, or Titilaka in Puno. Those planning coastal and Amazonian extensions can also consider Hotel Paracas, Delfin Amazon Cruises in Iquitos, or Refugio Amazonas Lodge in Puerto Maldonado.

Planning Your Stay

The hotel is located at Calle Los Eucaliptos 590, San Isidro , a walkable distance from Lima's major corporate offices and a short drive from Miraflores. The Google rating of 4.7 across more than 7,000 reviews indicates consistent delivery across a high volume of stays, which is a more reliable signal than a smaller sample at the same score. Amenities include the Yaku Spa, a recently remodelled gym, and an outdoor pool. Guests who intend to use the Lima Golf Club access should confirm the current green fee arrangement at booking, as the terms of exclusive agreements of this type can adjust seasonally. The pisco sour and ceviche classes are worth scheduling in advance if the stay is short. For travellers comparing options in San Isidro and Miraflores, Royal Park Hotel Lima, Crowne Plaza Lima by IHG, and Belmond Las Casitas represent adjacent options across different format preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Country Club Lima Hotel more low-key or high-energy?

The property skews emphatically toward measured and contained. The pace is set by afternoon tea with live piano, a dim-lit Bar Inglés, and corridors hung with 16th-century art. If a guest arrives expecting the energy profile of Lima's nightlife districts or a hotel that programmes around social activation, this is not the right address. For business travellers, golfers, or guests who want a heritage building with attentive staff and a calm social environment, the atmosphere is well-matched to those preferences. San Isidro itself reinforces that tone , it is a residential and commercial district, not an entertainment quarter.

What is the leading suite at Country Club Lima Hotel?

Golf View Presidential Suite is the property's senior accommodation. It includes two marble en-suite bathrooms with Jacuzzis, a separate dining room, a large terrace with golf course views, butler service, in-room check-in and checkout, caviar upon arrival, access to the private wine cellar, and a nightly bottle of champagne. At the upper end of Lima's suite market, it competes on heritage setting and included services rather than square footage alone. Pricing was not available in our data at time of publication.

What is the standout thing about Country Club Lima Hotel?

Art collection is the most structurally distinctive element. More than 400 original works from the Pedro de Osma Museum are distributed throughout the hotel , not concentrated in a gallery annex but present in corridors, public spaces, and individual rooms. Combined with the National Monument status and the stained-glass ceiling in the spherical gallery (assembled from over 2,000 individual pieces), the property offers a physical environment that is the product of nearly a century of accumulation rather than a designed installation. That cannot be replicated by newer entrants to Lima's luxury hotel market.
