Presidential Suite

It so rarely happens but yes, a hotel has opened--no, not on time, but early. (We know, take a minute to compose yourself.) OK, so we had it listed as May 1 on our master list, but the Westin Lima wasn't really going to open until June and then, voila!, its doors opened, as if by magic, on May 16.

Not only is the property--the third under the Libertardor partnership with Starwood--ahead of the game, it's also quite dashing looking, as you can see from these photos.

The lobby

We're not in any old Westin here, folks--there's a stellar list of hotel-world stars behind the project, from architects Arquitectonica to chef Rafael Piqueras, who boasts time at legendary Spanish restaurant El Bulli on his CV. Here, he heads up Maras, which serves Peruvian classics with a twist, while the more casual Market 770 will serve 'Westin Superfoods' for the healthy types.

Office in the presidential suite

Oh, and if the decor here reminds you just a little of Andaz 5th Avenue, there's a reason: interiors were designed by the same master of luxurious looking dark wood, Tony Chi.

The hotel is located in San Isidro, and has 310 rooms (including this gorgeous 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom presidential suite), along with The Spa at Westin, a heated swimming pool, and the largest convention center in Peru.

Best of all? We found rooms available this weekend from just USD$200 a night.

�Bienvenido, Westin Lima!
