Hotel B is a place for explorers to immerse themselves in the culture of the city. The architecture reflects the spirit of Peru's centennial. Famed French architect Claude Sahut was originally commissioned to design it as a summer retreat for the Garcia Bedoya family. It was completed in 1914 and had imported Italian marble and exotic woods, an ornate facade, high ceilings, open balconies and expansive terraces.
Hotel B was restored and reconstructed by a team of sculptors from the Fine Arts Academy and carpenters under the supervision of an Italian master woodworker. They worked to preserve the original structure while introducing a three story annex to the property to make it more modern. It now offers three different room types: Atelier, Aposento and Alcoba. It also has a unique collection of art which is linked to the Lucia de la Puente Gallery. You can enjoy private viewings, special events and a vital connection to Lima's emerging art scene.

Dining and Bar
The Restaurant
The Hotel's restaurant is a bar and lounge that are designed to compliment Lima's excellent restaurants. It is a place for traditional service and amazing Peruvian cuisine with a simple presentation. The menu is a combination of Peruvian ingredients and Mediterranean flavors. The food is straightforward and accessible. The cooking puts an emphasis on a traditional technique with updated classics to enhance the taste of the primary ingredients.
Dining Room
The Dining Room is designed with dark wood, a long bar and marble top bistro tables. It feels like an Old World European cafe, but it offers inventive Peruvian-Mediterranean small plates, such as charcoal-grilled octopus and crostini with avocado and anchovies. You can pair dishes by day or evening with the popular Peruvian Piscos, pints of Peruvian craft beer or South American wine by the glass. Along with the all-day dining service, you are invited to partake in el lonche, the high society Peruvian teatime, included in the price of a stay.
El Lonche
A legacy of the English influence in Peru during the nineteenth century following independence, El Lonche (afternoon tea), remains an important ritual in Lima's political and social circles. Just as Limeñas do in their own homes, you are invited to drop in and take part in relaxed conversations with friends and fellow travelers. Italian coffee, a selection of green and black teas, homemade Peruvian hot chocolate from a family recipe, fresh seasonal fruits, and traditional suits are laid out from 4-6 pm daily.
Bar
The bar has a selection of South American wines, Peruvian Piscos and fresh seafood. It is a lively meeting point with traditional club service. Meals and drinks can also be enjoyed on the terrace.
