Casa Morey

Iquitos


This former mansion of the rubber baron Luis F Morey dates from 1910 and has been renovated to its former elegance, with 14 extravagantly large suites, plenty of original azulejos (handmade tiles imported from Portugal), voluminous bathrooms with baths, river views, a courtyard with a small pool and a library with a stupendous collection of Amazon-related literature.

The grandiose dining area makes for charming breakfast environs (though the tiling here isn’t original).
