Cirqa

Name: Cirqa
Address: Arequipa

A discerning example of traditional Arequipean architecture

Dating back to 1540, this cream-hued boutique accommodation, built partly from volcanic rock, features carefully preserved arches and columns. Circling courtyards, dotted with greenery and including expansive windows, the structure is designed to merge the inside world with the outside environment.

The 11 light-flooded rooms, with high-vaulted ceilings, look out across two patios and are individually decorated. Light tones and simple, soft furnishings add warmth to the stone-lined spaces and place emphasis on the original architecture. Complimentary snacks and beverages are sure to enhance your stay, along with modern amenities, such as a Smart HDTV, with Netflix and a wireless speaker.

Guests can dabble in the in-room dining option, or take to the on-site restaurant, with a salon and sprawling terrace, to sample Arequipenean gastronomy, focused around fresh ingredients. On the rooftop, another eatery, positioned next to an organic garden, can be found, allowing you to indulge in an array of regional dishes, paired with dreamy vistas of the city and nearby volcanoes.

A heated plunge pool set on one of the patios and a therapy spa room call for idyllic moments of relaxation. For those who want to explore Arequipa and its natural surroundings, a variety of excursions can be arranged.

Places to combine Cirqa with

Peru

Casa Andina Arequipa Premium Collection

This hotel, located in the White City Arequipa, is a national historic monument. Formerly a mint house, it is now one of the best hotels in the city and one of the best in Peru.

The luxurious and spacious colonial suites have been beautifully converted and it’s very evident that you are staying in part of Peru’s rich history. We recommend these above the more modern rooms at the rear of the property.

There are two beautiful courtyards, restaurant, bar and very accommodating staff.

Peru

Costa del Sol Arequipa

Located in the historical centre of Arequipa, Costa del Sol Arequipa is one of Arequipa’s more luxurious hotels. Set in a large colonial style mansion there are eighty eight rooms all with marble bathrooms, and there’s a spa, pool, restaurant and bar on the poolside terrace. Guests enjoy great views of the famous volcano, El Misti and it is within short walking distance of all of the city’s historical sites.

The large outdoor pool area is particularly nice to relax by, making this a good choice for families. The communal areas are well decorated and refined with period pieces although the rooms themselves are a little dated and in need of an update.
