Why we recommend it
Casa República is a small boutique hotel set in a 1920s mansion on a quiet street in Barranco, built during the so-called Republican era, when the district was Lima's fashionable seaside retreat. The hotel describes itself as modelled on the glory days of Peru, and the historic house has been carefully maintained. Guests stay either in the original mansion or in a newer Garden building, which gives you a choice between period character and a more modern room.
The hotel keeps the facilities simple and practical. Breakfast is included, wi-fi is free, reception is open 24 hours, and there is room service, a laundry service and air-conditioning and heating in the rooms, along with smart televisions. Free rental bikes are a useful extra for exploring Barranco and riding along the coast to Miraflores, and the hotel can arrange airport transfers; the airport is about 45 minutes away.
The location is the main draw. Casa República sits close to the district's best restaurants, galleries and nightlife, but on a quiet street, so you can walk back after dinner without dealing with the noise of a main road. The Bridge of Sighs, a wooden footbridge first opened in 1876 and associated with couples and with Chabuca Granda's famous waltz, and the Bajada de Baños path to the beach are within walking distance, and the Lucía de la Puente gallery is on the same avenue. The Museo Pedro de Osma and the restaurants Central and Kjolle are on Avenida Pedro de Osma, and Isolina is on Avenida San Martín. Hotel B, a few doors away, is another historic mansion with a bar and a weekend rooftop brunch.
The hotel suits couples, solo travellers and anyone who wants to experience Barranco's evening life without needing a taxi home.
Bookings can be made by email, by phone or on WhatsApp, all listed on the hotel's website. Barranco borders Miraflores to the north and is a short taxi ride away, so even if you spend most of your time on the Barranco side of the coast, the main sights of Miraflores and the clifftop malecón are easy to reach.
