From this luxurious suite, one can admire the sea and the accessible coast, richly dotted with patches of rich vegetation that stretches as far as the can see; one can breath the air of the Pacific; one can observe the spectacle of surfers defying the seething waves. From the Observatory restaurant, on the 11th floor, one enjoys an excellent breakfast while overlooking the city atop of the Miraflores, a view one can indulge while relaxing at the pool as well, leaving the impression that one is floating between the sky and sea.

The Miraflores Park hotel is a star within the ranks of the Orient-Express company. A place deeply enchanting inside the confines of the great city of Lima, located at the heart of its most agreeable neighborhoods. It is an excellent starting point for travelers to commence the great Peruvian adventure: exploring part of the Amazon jungle; visiting Cuzco; The Monasterio hotel. To be part of a luxurious expedition by railway, courtesy of Hirman Bingham, that ends with ones arrival at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge.

 

 

The suites are princely, featuring private sauna and Jacuzzi, and the main bar embraces one with exotic cocktails. The grand library is a veritable lordly space inside once Incan dominated land. The zest spa restores the body with the help of the latest and most comforting treatments while overlooking the ocean, a well deserved gift to oneself after exercising inside the spacious gymnasium, and before one enjoys a wonderful dinner at Mesa 18. The stay is made even more agreeable by the excellent and thorough service provided by the staff, who will attend to any personal concern.

The concierges at Orient-Express are at hand to provide travelers with excellent recommendations concerning the hotel and Lima, a city that boats an impressive number of museums, shops and historical monuments. A city that allows travelers to unwind, and enjoy what the city and coast has to offer.
