Casa Andina Select Tacna

South Coast


Part of a popular chain, this large, new hotel tower is not huge on character but offers the most comfort and best facilities in town. It has generic but well finished business-like rooms, and a rooftop pool and gym area with panoramic views of the city. Also has a good restaurant.

One of the few hotels in town with air-conditioning.
