La Posada del Puente

Arequipa


The extensive gardens of this high-end hotel hug the river, making for a tranquil setting with volcano views that’s surprisingly removed from the bustling traffic above. Heated rooms look mostly modern but with quirks like ancient TVs with cable. Staying here gives you free access to the sports facilities and swimming pool at the nearby Club Internacional sports complex.
