Hotel Libertador

Top choice in Trujillo


The classy dame of the city’s hotels, the 79-room Libertador is in a beautiful building that’s the Audrey Hepburn of Trujillo – it wears its age with refined grace. It earns its four stars with a beautiful and lush courtyard pool, archways aplenty and modern rooms with all expected amenities.

Rooms are centered on a bright atrium that encompasses the three floors, but try to avoid the streetside rooms unless you want to watch the goings-on, as they tend to be noisy.
